ABSTRACT:
A golf apparatus is provided for practicing aligning the head of a golf club with a golf ball to be struck by the club head prior to swinging the club. The golf apparatus has a light source on the club head for directing a beam of light toward a golf ball and a receiver on the club head for receiving light reflected by the golf ball. The light source and the receiver are positioned such that reflected light reaches the receiver when the golf club head and the golf ball are in a predefined relative position. In the predefined relative position of the club head and a golf ball, a line connecting the center of a golf ball and a point of preferred contact on the club face is perpendicular to the club face. An indicator light on the club head provides a visible indication that the club head and a golf ball are in the predefined relative position.
