CROSS-REFERENCE [0001]This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korea Patent Application No. 20-2006-0028452, filed on Oct. 25, 2006, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference. BACKGROUND [0002]1. Field [0003]The present utility model relates to a putter, and more specifically, to a putter on the top surface of which are arranged a plurality of mock-up golf balls whose centers are located to be higher than the top surface of the body of putter to thereby allow the mock-up golf balls to look like complete circles all the time although either toe or heel of the putter is higher than the other, thus allowing a golfer to take simpler and more correct aiming. [0004]2. Related Art [0005]In a golf game, a golfer generally uses golf clubs such as drivers, irons, and putters to put golf balls into hole cups. The golfer scores points by making as few shots as possible. [0006]The putter is one of most important clubs to put balls into the hole clubs. The golfer shots a ball as pushing out to put the ball into a hole club. [0007]To put the ball into the hole cup correctly, the golfer's skilled sense of movement and rhythm is required, but, most of all, the directionality of the putter is needed. Therefore, the putter should be manufactured to be capable of being easily aligned to the hole cup and golf ball in a straight line. [0008]The present inventor has proposed a putter registered as Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0371299 on Dec. 17, 2004. The above putter suggested by the present inventor has two mock-up golf balls formed on the body thereof, wherein the mock-up golf balls each have a half sphere shape cut with respect to its correct center. [0009]The above putter allowed any golfers to make a correct and easy aiming because a golf ball to be shot and the two mock-up golf balls arranged on the top surface of the putter could be aligned in a straight line. [0010]Notwithstanding, the conventional putter had problems as followings. [0011]The head and shaft of the putter are angled with each other by a constant angle, and the shaft is angled with ground typically by 60 to 80 degrees even though the angle is different with respect to each golfer. [0012]That is, most typically, the golfer shots the ball by swing the club as a pendulum with the ball positioned on the ground which meets the golfer's eyes with the perpendicular line. [0013]The head of the putter should be correctly parallel with the ground for the putting address. [0014]However, most of amateurs take the various putting addresses according to their height, body shape, putting custom, and so on, which makes the toe or heel of the putter being lifting. Accordingly the accuracy of shot can be lowered. [0015]Especially, while the putter suggested by the present inventor is designed so that the mock-up balls on the putter can be aligned with the real ball in a straight line when the putter is aimed, the putter still has an disadvantage in that the mock-up balls can be seen as distorted eclipse to the golfer when the toe or heel is lifted according to the golfer's putting address, which can make it difficult of the golfer to make a correct aiming. SUMMARY [0016]Therefore, the present utility model has been designed to solve the above problems. [0017]It is an object of the present utility model to provide a putter for golf which has a plurality of mock-up golf balls arranged on the top surface thereof, wherein the centers of the mock-up balls are positioned to be higher than the top surface of the body so that the mock-up balls can be always seen as complete circles to a golfer's eyes even though either toe or heel is lifted up when the golfer makes an aiming. [0018]To achieve the above object, a putter according to an embodiment of the present utility model is provided, the putter having an impacting surface on a front side thereof, a plurality of mock-up golf balls arranged on a top surface thereof, and a shaft fixed on a portion thereof, wherein the mock-up golf balls are located on a virtual line extended longitudinally from a middle of the impacting surface and the mock-up golf balls each are greater than half a complete golf ball and smaller than the complete golf ball.
