Alignment Aid

Abstract

The invention relates to an alignment aid (10) for golfers which provides a reference means for ensuring optimal positioning of the feet, relative both to each other and a golf ball, for a given club selection. The alignment aid comprises a foot-positioning rail (12); a ball-positioning rail (14); and linking arms (16a, 16b, 18a, 18b). The linking arms are pivotably coupled to the respective rails (12, 14) so as to interconnect them and maintain them in a selected spaced apart, substantially parallel alignment. The alignment aid is adjustable between: (i) a fully expanded condition (FIG. 1) in which the spacing of the respective rails is maximised; (ii) a partially collapsed condition (FIG. 2) in which the spacing of the respective rails is reduced relative to the fully expanded condition; and (iii) a fully collapsed condition (FIG. 3) in which the respective rails and linking arms are arranged in a fully overlapped configuration for storage and/or transport.
