A device for ascertaining the natural break to the west of a golf green is obtained by the incorporation of a compass with an existing golf implement in accordance with one or more of a plurality of embodiments. The compass includes indicia indicating west, the direction of the natural green break, and, in one preferred configuration, the indicia directly indicates only west. The several embodiments disclosed and discussed include the combination of a compass and a golf glove, a compass and a ball marker, a compass and a golf club (in variant configurations) as well as broadly adaptable compass golf accessory embodiments which include special purpose structure by which the break finder may be removable or permanently fixed to a golf implement.
