ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a portable mechanism utilized to practice a golf swing. It includes a golf ball connected to a tethering line. When the golf ball is driven or otherwise projected a substantial distance, a spindle freely pays out the tethering line though a line guide. After the paying out of the tethered line has terminated, a battery operated motor rotates the spindle to permit for automatic retrieval of the golf ball. A swivel damper allows the golf ball to rotate relative to the tethering line, which eliminates the possibility of the tethering line twisting upon itself, and also assures that flight of the ball is in accordance with the manner in which it was struck. A housing, having open sides or entrances, allows for easy maintenance of the spindle and related components.
