ABSTRACT:
A golf training aid is provided which includes a generally rectangular base configured for supportive contact with a ball playing surface. Posts or support members extend from the base and support first and second cross-bars. The first and second guide members each have a shaft guiding surface and a support surface disposed on opposite sides thereof. Each of the first and second guide members are supported by the base at the support surface so that each of the shaft guiding surfaces extends in a substantially unobstructed manner along substantially the entire length of the first and second guide members. The shaft guiding surfaces of the first and second guide members are adapted to guide a portion of the club shaft located proximate the club handle and a portion of the club shaft located proximate the club head along a notional surface defined by the shaft guiding surfaces of the first and second guide members. The first and second guide members are each movable in a direction generally parallel to the ball playing surface to selectively position the notional plane at selected angles of incline .alpha. relative to the ball playing surface. This movement selectively increases the distance between the first and second guide members as the selected angles of incline .alpha. decrease, while maintaining the first and second guide members at substantially uniform predetermined orthogonal distances from the ball playing surface.
