Golf positioning device

A positioning device for aiding an individual in positioning a club face of a golf club relative to an intended line of flight of a golf ball so that the golf ball travels a desired path once struck by the golf club;

• said positioning device comprising:
• (a) a body having an opening for receiving the shaft of a golf club, the shaft of the golf club having a first axis;
• and,
• (b) an indicator for indicating the proper position of a club face of the golf club received in said opening of said body relative to an intended line of flight of a golf ball so that the golf ball travels a desired path once struck by the golf club, said indicator being disposed in said body such that said indicator is visible from the front surface of said body, said indicator having a curved section, said curved section is oriented about said first axis of the shaft of the golf club received in said opening of said body.

A golf club having a positioning device mounted thereon for aiding an individual in positioning a club face of a golf club relative to an intended line of flight of a golf ball so that the golf ball travels a desired path once struck by the golf club;

• said golf club comprising:
• (a) a club face and a shaft, said shaft having a first axis;
• (b) a positioning device including a body having a front surface, a rear surface and an opening extending between said front surface and said rear surface for receiving said shaft;
• and,
• (c) an indicator for indicating the proper position of said club face relative to an intended line of flight of a golf ball so that the golf ball travels a desired path once struck by the golf ball, said indicator being disposed in said body such that said indicator is visible from said front surface of said body.

A positioning device for aiding an individual in positioning the club face of a golf club relative to an intended line of flight so that a golf ball travels a desired path once struck by the golf club, said positioning device comprising:

• (a) a body having a front surface, a rear surface and an opening extending between said front surface and said rear surface for receiving a shaft of a golf club, and
• (b) a spirit level for indicating the proper position of a club face of a golf club to the intended line of flight so that a golf ball travels a desired path once struck by the golf club, said spirit level being immovably disposed in said body such that said spirit level is visible from said front surface of said body, said spirit level comprising a sealed chamber containing a fluid and a float means operatively associated with said fluid for indicating true vertical, said spirit level has a curved surface for operation with said float means and said curved surface is oriented about an axis of the shaft of the golf club;
• and,
• (c) indicia formed on said positioning device for orienting said float means, whereby a golfer positions himself so as to hit a golf ball along a desired line of flight and rotates the shaft of the golf club until said float means is in proper relation with said indicia, thereby orienting the club face of the golf club in a desired position so that the golf ball travels a desired line of flight.
