Golf swing training apparatus

A golf practice apparatus, comprising in combination a base having structure defining a normal point of impact of a golf club head during a practice swing,

• a golf club having a club handle and head and a vertical ball impact face on the head thereof,
• a light-reflective surface affixed on said club at a predetermined position such that light reflected therefrom will be indicative of the angle of said club face when approaching said point of impact,
• a source of intense light mounted on said base spaced from said point of impact and positioned to direct a concentrated beam of light in a path adjacent such point of impact for reflection off of said light-reflective surface when said face is approaching said point of impact during a practice swing,
• lens means on said base positioned to focus light from said source as reflected from said light-reflective surface to a predetermined focal area on a light-diffusing surface such that light is focused at positions thereon relative to the club face angle at the point of impact,
• a plurality of light sensors positioned in an array to sense light from said respective positions on said light-diffusing surface for relative energization of said sensors,
• and indicating means coupled to said sensors and responsive to their respective relative energization to indicate the golf club face angle at said point of impact.
