Abstract
The invention is concerned with an apparatus for use in perfecting a golfer's backswing so that his club swings close to the ground. The apparatus includes a base to which a pivoting flap and a golf tee are mounted. The flap is positioned on a swing arm rotatably mounted with respect to the tee. The flap remains in a vertical position until struck by a golf club during a golfer's backswing whereupon the flap moves to a horizontal position to allow the golfer to continue to move the club in the proper path during his forward swing.
