ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to golf training devices, and in particular discloses a device for stabilizing a golfer's feet and stance while he practices his swing. In a preferred embodiment, the device comprises a substantially flat mat in which a left foot gripping element and a right foot gripping element are each slidably engaged. The gripping element have a front tongue and a rear tongue respectively engaged with a front groove in a raised front border and with a corresponding rear groove in a raised rear border of the flat mat. The gripping element can thus secure a golfer's feet parallel to each other in a given stance while the golfer practices a golf swing. The gripping element can be slid nearer or farther away from each other and locked in the selected position to provide a variety of widths of stance. The device is thus useful as a training device in order to prevent the golfer from getting his feet in the wrong orientation to each other during the course of his swing. The device also enables the beginning golfer to start practicing his swing with his feet parallel but close together, and gradually work his way up to a wider stance.
