CROSS-REFERENCE TO A RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of patent application Ser. No. 10/659,331 filed on Sep. 11, 2003, which in turn is a C-I-P of patent application Ser. No. 09/920,529 filed on Aug. 1, 2001. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to a golf putter for system and method of training a golf player. [0003] In the past years, technology relating to the game of golf has evolved rapidly, with many different systems having been implemented for improving a golfer's performance and quality of the golf clubs utilized. [0004] U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,063,259 and 4,375,887 disclose techniques for detecting golf club head position, and golf ball position, shortly after impact using photoelectric means to trigger a flash so as to permit a photograph to be taken of the head and golf ball flight characteristics ( e.g. Launch angels) where data is collected using external monitoring cameras using standard golf club. [0005] U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,565,448 B2, 5,342,054; 5,697,791; 5,486,001; 5,472,205; 5,249,967; 5,154,427; 5,111,410; and 4,713,686 disclose systems and methods for analyzing a golfer's swing, and providing feedback to the golfer based on images collected using external video cameras and standard golf clubs. [0006] U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,501,463 and 5,575,719 disclose techniques using external cameras for detecting club head position shortly after impact using cameras capable of receiving light from multiple reflectors placed on the club head prior to the swing. [0007] The other solution disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,416,0942; 4,545,576; 4,713,686; 4,755,881; 4,860,096; 4,891,748; 5,111,410; 5,184,295; 5,210,603; 5,333,061; 5,342,054; 5,441,256; 5,472,205 5,486,001; 5,501,463; 5,575,791; 5,591,091; 5,772,522; 5,797,805; 5,214,417; 5,823,387; 5,827,127; 5,864,960; 5,911,636; 5,951,410; 6,041,651; 6,565,448. [0008] It is believed that the existing system and methods can be further improved. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0009] Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a golf putter for system and method of training a golf player, which avoid the disadvantages of the prior art. [0010] In keeping with these objectives and with others which will become apparent hereinafter, one feature of the present invention resides, briefly stated, in a putter, comprising a handle; a head; and sensing means for sensing parameters selected from the group consisting of acceleration measuring means, deceleration measuring means, putter path measuring means, rotation measuring means, lie angle measuring means, loft angle measuring means, and combinations thereof. [0011] Another feature of the present invention resides, briefly stated, in a system for a training golf player, comprising a putter having a handle; a head; and sensing means selected from the group consisting of acceleration measuring means, deceleration measuring means, putter path measuring means, rotation measuring means, lie angle measuring means, a loft angle measuring means, and combinations thereof; means for transmitting data measured by said measuring means; computing means for receiving and processing of the measured data; and display means for displaying the processed data so that a golf player can analyze his performance. [0012] Still a further feature of the present invention resides in a method of training a golf player, comprising the steps of providing a putter having a handle, a head, and sensing means selected from the group consisting of acceleration measuring means, deceleration measuring means, putter path measuring means, rotation measuring means, lie angle measuring means, loft angle measuring means, and combinations thereof; transmitting data measured by said measuring means; receiving data processing the transmitted measured data by computing means; and display means for displaying the processed data on a display so that the golf player can analyze his performance. [0013] In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, the computer is connected to a display interface with means to display text images and graphics, and in addition means is included for analyzing the displayed graphics and text data of the golfer's swing. Displayed graphics can include putter club head acceleration/deceleration color coded line graph, putter path tracking line alongside acceleration line, lie and loft angles at address and at moment of impact with golf ball, color coded positions of the top of the grip, displaying information related to wrist applications and its effect in a putting stroke and ball speed factor. [0014] In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, the golf putter is electrically activated and the remote computer is also activated; and golfer's swing related data from the said golf club are automatically relayed to the computer wirelessly and the feedback relayed to the computer wirelessly and the feedback relayed to the golfer is instantaneously displayed on a computer screen. The feedback displayed include the actual ball travel distance is measured and a target distance is entered in the database, and the golfer is ready to make a next swing. Each swing data is displayed and stored in the computer database until a full set of data is provided to the satisfaction of an instructor. [0015] The novel features which are considered as characteristic for the present invention are set forth in particular in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, both as to its construction and its methods of operation, together with additional objects and advantages thereof, will be best understood from the following description of specific embodiments when read in connection with the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0016] FIG. 1 is a view showing a golfer with a golf putter, a golf ball, on a putting green and wirelessly connected pocket personal computer of the system and method in accordance with the present invention.
