Golf training aid simulating a grass cutting motion

A golf training aid comprising:

• a club shaft including a first end opposite a second end, with a club shaft body extending from the first end to the second end;
• a neck portion fixedly coupled to the second end of the club shaft, the neck portion being coplanar with the club shaft and including a curved terminal portion;
• and
• an elongated blade portion having a proximal end opposite a distal end, the curved terminal portion of the neck portion secured to the proximal end of the blade portion, the blade portion having a trapezoidal shape defined by a top surface, a bottom surface, a first longitudinal side, and a second longitudinal side, the blade portion:
• having the top surface opposite the bottom surface, each of the top and bottom surfaces having an associated width parallel to a lateral axis of the blade portion and perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the blade portion, the width of the bottom surface being greater than the width of the top surface;
• having a length from the proximal end to the distal end, the length being greater than the width of the bottom surface, such that the blade portion is elongated and extends away from the club shaft;
• including a receiving channel formed within the blade portion at the proximal end of the blade portion, the receiving channel disposed within the top surface and extending toward the bottom surface, with the neck portion fixedly secured within the receiving channel, such that the proximal end of the blade portion forms an obtuse angle with respect to the club shaft;
• having the first longitudinal side opposite the second longitudinal side, the first and second longitudinal sides spanning from the proximal end of the blade portion to the distal end of the blade portion along the longitudinal axis of the blade portion, each of the first and second longitudinal sides being disposed between the bottom and top surface, such that the first longitudinal side is a first tapered edge and the second longitudinal side is a second tapered edge, each of the first and second tapered edges having a taper angle of between 30° and 60° with respect to the bottom surface, each taper angle spanning from the bottom surface to the top surface;
• and
• having a height disposed between the top and bottom surfaces and parallel to a vertical axis of the blade portion, the height being between ⅛ inches and ½ inches;
• whereby the blade portion creates a visual indicator of a successful swing when one of the first and second tapered edges cuts though one or more leaves of grass, the visual indicator being a change in position of the one or more leaves of grass.
