ABSTRACT:
An apparatus permits practicing golf swings and putting. The apparatus includes an elongated bar (6) that is pivotally attached at one end to a pivot mount (50) that rests upon the ground or other practice surface. In a preferred embodiment, depending upon the type of practice desired, a swing end piece (30) or a putting end piece (40) is removably attached to the second end of the elongated bar. When practicing swings, the swing end piece is attached, allowing the bar to rest horizontally across the golfer's shoe tips. If the backswing and downstroke are proper, the bar will remain across the shoe tips exerting a downward tactile force, coming off the right shoe tip only during the latter part of the downstroke and remaining off during the follow-through. In this manner, the apparatus provides guidance to the golfer during all phases of the golf swing. When practicing putting, the putting end piece is attached. The bar is aimed toward the target and the ball is placed beneath the bar, allowing the bar to be used to maintain proper eye contact with the ball. The height of the bar requires the golfer to use a low putting stroke. Proper putting occurs when the struck ball passes along an imaginary line extending through the putting end piece to the target.
