ABSTRACT:
A golf driving and putting training aid comprises a driving module, a short-putt module, a long-putt module, and a third putting module. The driving module includes a shaft of telescoping cylinders pivotally secured at one end to a supporting surface and provided with a driving handle at the other end. The rate of retraction and extension of all cylinders is controlled by felt strips restricting the flow of air between the cylinders. The direction of the swing is controlled by pivoting joints by which the cylinders are connected to the supporting surface and to the handle. In one embodiment, the cylinders are pivotally attached to a slidable sleeve that glides along a horizontal bar. The movement of the sleeve can be restricted along the horizontal bar. The short-putt module includes a telescoping cylindrical shaft that is attached to the user's putter. When used, the short-putt module forces the user to keep the short-putt stroke straight. The long-putt module includes an arcuate guide to which a putter may be attached, thereby requiring the user to use the proper arcuate stroke for a long putt. Another putting module includes use of a mounting assembly that connects a putter to a horizontal bar. This embodiment allows movement of the putter along a generally defined arc that allows a slight transverse or perpendicular movement of the putter during the stroke.
