Abstract
The invention is concerned with an apparatus for use in perfecting a golfer's stroke by aiding the golfer in preventing undesirable head movement. The apparatus includes a headpiece with a visor to which a bracket is mounted. A retaining pin is inserted into the bracket and is connected to the bracket by a cord which is of a length sufficient to allow the pin to be removed from the headpiece, inserted into the ground in front of the golfer and positioned so that the cord is in a taut condition, thus restraining the head of the golfer.

A golf swing training apparatus for use in practicing proper head movement comprising:
- (A) a headpiece adapted to be worn by a golfer including a head band adapted to surround the golfer's head approximately at the forehead level;
- (B) a retaining pin;
- (C) a bracket fixed on said headpiece and adapted to support said pin when the apparatus is not in use;
- (D) a flexible cord connecting said bracket to said pin, said cord having a length sufficient to allow said pin to be removed from said headpiece and to be inserted into the ground in front of golfer and on the opposite side of a ball addressed by the golfer.
A method of training a golfer by restraining head movement during a swing, employing a head band adapted to be worn by the golfer, a retaining pin, a bracket fixed on said headpiece, and a cord connecting said bracket to said pin, the cord having a length sufficient to allow the pin to be inserted into the ground in front of golfer and on the opposite side of a ball the golfer is addressing, comprising the steps of:
