ABSTRACT:
Golf training apparatus adapted for use with a golf ball and a putter or chipping club having a club head defining a club width includes a U-shaped base having a pair of parallel, substantially rigid side members with a region therebetween which is devoid of base material. A light source, preferably a self-contained, battery operated laser, is mounted with respect to the proximal end portion, preferably at a central location so as to output a light beam proximally to distally along a line substantially parallel to the rigid side members. A momentary contact switch is preferably used to activate the light source. Using such a configuration, the base may be placed on a playing surface and the switch momentarily depressed to illuminate a target with the light beam. By virtue of the open swing region, a ball may then be placed directly on the playing surface before striking in the direction of the target.
