ABSTRACT:
A method of instruction for improving actual play of golf, which method comprises the following steps: hitting golf balls to a golf swing touch trainer, which embraces a portably-sized, substantially flat web material having a transverse dimension about one-half foot to about three feet, a top horizontal surface, and a bottom horizontal surface generally in vertical registry with and essentially parallel to the top surface, a peripheral boundary; having a substantially thin side profile less than about 1/8 of an inch such that a golf ball can roll across the peripheral boundary from, and to, a surface on which the trainer can be placed and onto, and off, the top surface of the web material without being substantially impeded in its travel; having a dark color or shade so as to be able to simulate a hole or easily discernible area, which can be impressionable and memorable as to an aiming area to be employed in real play after use of the trainer, and having within the peripheral boundary a single internal target having a diameter approximately that of a golf green hole such that the web material peripheral boundary surrounds and is external to the internal target hole wherein on essentially all of said top surface a ball can roll and rest; and no hole other than the internal target hole is present in the web material.
