Abstract
A golf swing practice and exercise device comprises a vertical guide member, e.g., an open-ended tube, a free-fall weight which moves vertically along the guide member, a cord attached at one end to the weight and at the other end to a sock to attach it to the head of a golf club, a fairlead at the top of the guide member and another fairlead located about head-high on the guide member. The cord passes through the fairleads and applies a "pull" on a golf clubhead equal to the weight which can be changed to vary the degree of exercise obtained in use of the device.
