US 5,707,301 A · Golf alignment aid

Abstract

A golf practice device, for placement on the turf directly in front of a golfer, including: a first alignment member for indicating proper stance alignment relative to the target line; a second alignment member, parallel to the first alignment member, for indicating swing path alignment relative to the target line; and third and forth members pivotally interconnecting said first and second members thereby forming an adjustable parallelogram structure. Each member defines an aperture sized for receiving either a conventional golf tee, or a rubber driving range type tee, therein such that the golfer is able to tee a golf ball thereon. Markings, in inches, originating at the golf tee aperture extend back along the back swing side of the ball for allowing the golfer to gauge the distance traveled by the club along the target line on the back swing. Furthermore, each member includes a concave depression and a sloped front end portion thereby enabling a golfer to putt a ball therefrom.
