Abstract
A golf swing training apparatus having a body with a first side opposite a second side and a medial region between the sides. The body is operable to receive and secure a head of a golf club. An opening defined by the body is operable to enable a hosel of a golf club to exit the body. The device may be secured to the golf club by a strip of hook and loop fastener. The device has different, highly-contrasting colors on the front and back, thereby allowing a user to receive visual cues on the alignment of the clubhead during training swings. The device is the tactile and visual part of a training method which uses color sequencing and “word” association.
