Method and apparatus for providing golf instruction

Abstract

An apparatus and system for self-administration of physical activity instruction wherein an electronic alarm is worn on the operator to alert the operator when the operator has completed a physical activity in the proper manner. The alarm relies on a pressure contract switch which comes into contact with another portion of the operator's body, ground or an instrumentality involved in the physical activity. The alarm, unobtrusively positioned on the operator's body, is activated by the occurrence of a certain movement of the operator's body corresponding to the correct performance by the operator of the physical activity. Upon such performance, the alarm emits a signal that is readily understood by the operator that operator has correctly performed the physical activity. In situations where the physical activity can be broken down into several corresponding sequential body movements, several such alarms can be placed on the operator's body to monitor the sequential occurrence of such movements. In this manner, when the physical activity occurs, the system sensing when the proper movement, and hence property physical activity, has occurred will sequentially inform the operator of same. The lack of a signal(s) during sequential operation will also inform the operator what particular activity was not properly accomplished. In this manner, the operator can focus on the particular problem and take the necessary steps to correct the operator's deficiency(ies) in performing that aspect of the physical activity. To allow for differentiation by the operator during sequential use, the alarm incorporates a wide variety of audible signals from imitation of human voice with praises of correct performance to sound noise. The alarm system also incorporates the use of radio transmission of signal to an ear piece radio receiver worn by the operator to allow for unobtrusive operation of the system in the presence of others.
