A golf swing training device for use as a training aid to properly position a golfer's stance relative to a golf ball and a target line between the golf ball and a target, said device comprising:

• (a) an elongated first body member having a front end for being placed in an abutting relationship with the golf ball with the longitudinal axis of said first body member perpendicular to said target line and having a rear end:
• (b) an elongated second body member having a right end and a left end, said second body member being attached to said first body member with the longitudinal axis of said second body member perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said first body member;
• (c) means for extending through said right and left ends of said second body member and said rear end of said first body member and into the ground to anchor said device to the ground;
• (d) hinge means for pivotally connecting said front and rear ends of said first body member to one another and for allowing said front end of said first body member to be pivoted back onto the rear end of said first body member after said device has been anchored to the ground with said front end of said first body member abutting the golf ball and for allowing the golf ball to be unhindered by said device;
• (e) an elongated right foot positioning means pivotally attached adjacent said right end of said second body member with the longitudinal axis of said right foot positioning means at an angle to the longitudinal axis of said second body member for providing a guide for the proper positioning of the golfer's right foot relative to the golf ball and the target line, said right foot positioning means having a longitudinal side edge along which the golfer's right foot is positioned;
• and
• (f) an elongated left foot positioning means pivotally attached adjacent said left end of said second body member with the longitudinal axis of said left foot positioning means at an angle to the longitudinal axis of said second body member for providing a guide for the proper positioning of the golfer's left foot relative to the golf ball and the target line, said left foot positioning means having a longitudinal side edge along which the golfer's left foot is positioned, said right and left foot positioning means extending outward from said second body member on the side thereof opposite said front end of said first body member.
