ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for training a beginning golfer to stroke a golf club so that he or she hits a golf ball in a straight direction toward a desired target without the golf ball being hooked or spliced, wherein a pointer which is secured to the shaft of the golf club is aligned to be perfectly parallel with another pointer which is detachably connected to the face of the golf club so that it extends perpendicularly therefrom, the pointer on the face of the golf club being removed and the pointer on the shaft having been clamped in the aforesaid disposition, the golfer then by swinging the golf club so that the pointer moves perfectly rectilinearly to hit the golf ball with the pointer being pointed in a parallel direction toward the desired target, the golf ball is hit straight toward the target. The golf club can be a putter, iron, or wood and the pointer which is temporarily connected to the face of the head of the club may be connected by a magnet or resilient clamp or other resilient members such as elastic bands for nonmagnetic golf club faces. The pointer is attached by clamp to the shaft of the club so as to be movable in a horizontal plane about the longitudinal axis of the club and in a vertical plane that coincides with the axis of the club. This pointer may also be pivoted upwardly and secured against the shaft for storage and transportation purposes.
