Compression Golf Swing Training Apparatus

A golf swing training apparatus that uses compressive forces to simulate making a divot adjacent a golf ball when swinging a golf club, said golf training apparatus, comprising:

• a framework having a front mounting member and a back mounting member opposite and parallel to the front mounting member, said framework including a left side mounting member extending between said front and back mounting members and a right side mounting member opposite and parallel to said left side member extending between said front and back mounting members;
• a hitting board having a proximal end pivotally coupled to the back mounting member with a hinge and having a distal end opposite said proximal end, said hitting board being pivotally movable by operation of said hinge,
• said hinge having a first plate coupled to an upper surface of the back mounting member and a second plate coupled to a bottom surface of the hitting board and a barrel pivotally coupling together said first and second plates so that the hitting board is selectively movable upwardly and downwardly relative to an axis defined by said barrel;
• and
• a compression spring extending between a top surface of the front mounting member and the bottom surface of the hitting board such that said compression spring is compressed when said hitting board is urged downwardly by an impact force and is resilient to decompress when the impact force is removed.

• a hitting board having a proximal end operatively mounted to the back mounting member and having a distal end opposite said proximal end that is operatively mounted to the front mounting member, said hitting board being vertically movable when actuated by receiving a downward load;
• a first compression spring extending between a top surface of the front mounting member and a bottom surface of the hitting board such that said first compression spring is compressed when said distal end of said hitting board is urged downwardly by an the downward load received upon said hitting board and is resilient to decompress when the downward load is removed;
• and
• a second compression spring extending between a top surface of the front mounting member and the bottom surface of the hitting board such that said second compression spring is compressed when said proximal end of said hitting board is urged downwardly by said downward load and is resilient to decompress when the impact force is removed.
