Golfing aid

Abstract

A golfing aid for improving a golfer's swing plane and putting stroke includes a base member with an elongated rod connected to the base member by a pivotal support arm wherein the elongated rod is movable between a first position wherein it inclines upwardly and outwardly away from the golfer in a forward direction and a second position wherein it lies parallel to the ground in closely spaced relationship therewith. In the first position, the elongated rod visually suggests an inside-out path of movement for the club head and physically prevents an outside-in path so that the golfer is assisted in establishing the proper swing plane. In the second position the elongated rod can be pointed toward a cup on a practice putting green to assist in developing a putting stroke wherein the putter is maintained in close relationship to the ground throughout the entire stroke as is desirable for consistent putting.
