ABSTRACT:
A golf training apparatus has a frame having a base for sitting on the ground and a golf club swing guide attached to the frame for guiding a person's swing of a golf club. A guide adjustment system allows for the adjustment of the position of the first golf club swing guide as to both height and tilt of the guide. The frame and swing guides may be made of a PVC (or polyethelene) pipe and may have special PVC attachments utilizing standard PVC couplings. Adjustment are made by telescoping the pipe to the desired position and locking them in place. The swing guide has an arcuate segment and a replaceable connecting segment connecting the ends of the arcuate segment so that the swing guide an be adjusted for size and shape from a complete circle to customized shape for the swing of a golfer.
The frame may have a motor attached thereto and connected to a crank arm mechanism which is coupled to the swing guide for rapidly moving the swing guide during a practice swing. A microswitch is positioned adjacent the swing guide in a predetermined position to actuate the motor to move the swing guide at the predetermined point in the swing pattern.
