According to this invention, the aid/simulator comprises a base (1) providing a standing area (4) on which the user takes a stance in relating to a ball playing area (3) which is characterized by the base including a platform (2) adjustably mounted on the base so that it can be tilted to a position in relation to the ball the user wishes to practice or simulate, such as an uphill, or downhill lie or standing above, or below the ball, and a drive mechanisms (11, 12) is provided for tilting the platform to a selected position. Advantageously, two marked areas (14) are provided corresponding to the user's foot positions, and pressure responsive devices are provided for detecting the weight distribution between the respective feet, signals from which are fed during a golfing swing to a comparator mechanism, and thence to an indicator mechanism (17) for showing the percentage of bodyweight taken by each foot during a swing.
