Abstract
The invention is a training device to enable a golfer to develop a smooth and consistent swing. It comprises a harness with a chest encircling band and shoulder straps, somewhat similar to a brassiere. A rigid bar is attached transversely and retained in the rear portion of the shoulder straps. The bar is of a sufficient length and positioned so that in use it is essentially horizontal across the shoulders and not visible to a golfer addressing a ball. However, one end becomes visible directly in front of the golfer at the peak of a correct back swing and the other end becomes visible in front of the golfer at the end of a proper follow through. Golf professionals will find the device useful as a teaching aid.

A training device to enable a golfer to develop a smooth and consistent swing which comprises:
- a harness with a chest encircling band depending from shoulder straps, the shoulder straps having front and rear portions adapted to drape respectively over the chest and back of a user, the chest band having a closure means to enable a user to readily put the harness on for use;
- and
- a rigid bar situated transversely across the rear portion of the shoulder straps so that the bar lies behind the shoulders of the golfer in a position that does not interfere with a normal swing when the device is in use, each strap having an attachment means for retaining the bar,
- the bar being of a length and so positioned in the shoulder straps that when the device is in use the bar is essentially horizontal and not visible to a golfer addressing a ball, but one end becomes visible directly in front of the golfer at the peak of a correct back swing and the other end becomes visible in front of the golfer at the end of a correct follow through.
