ABSTRACT:
A golf ball impact detection system to assist a golfer in reducing premature head-up movement. The impact detection system includes a sound detection device for detecting an impact sound of a club head with a golf ball and a light source which turns on immediately upon detection of the impact sound. When the impact sound is detected, an electrical circuit processes the impact sound signal and turns on the light source for a predetermined time. A short light flash is intended when the golfer uses a driver or iron club, while a longer light flash is for putter or pitching wedge applications. A day or night selection switch is provided for the altering between daytime or nighttime applications. The flash of the light source encourages a golfer to keep his head down after the club head strikes the golf ball, thereby reducing premature head-up movement, since the golfer will wait to see the light flash before looking up to see his shot.
