ABSTRACT:
A golfing apparatus for use with a golf club to teach a golfer how to putt or chip a golf ball, the apparatus including a housing, a stroke arm extending outward from the housing, an attachment structure communicating with the stroke arm for rigidly securing the golf club to the stroke arm at or near the head of the golf club, and an actuating device communicating with the stroke arm for moving the stroke arm. In one embodiment, the actuating device includes a motor mounted within the housing on a horizontal gear rack, and a stroke arm attachment assembly connecting the stroke arm to the motor. The stroke arm attachment assembly includes a stroke arm vertical movement device, such as another motor or a bearing. The actuating device moves the stroke farm from an initial position through a predetermined stroke distance so as to teach the golfer gripping the moving golf club a proper putting or chipping golf stroke by the development of muscle memory. Alternatively, the golfer can stand at a distance from the apparatus and observe the moving golf club to learn the proper stroke.
