Golf swing training and exercise device

Abstract

A golf swing training and exercise system for improving the golf swing of a golfer. The system includes a mat with an optically reflective surface, an elongated golf device having three sections and two lasers. Each laser attaches to one end of the golf device and projects a laser beam onto a mat.

The invention claimed is:  
     
         1 ) A golf swing training and exercise device, comprising: 
 a golf device having three separate sections, including an elongated middle section and two arm sections, wherein each arm section has a distal end and a proximal end connected to the middle section, the arms sections extends outwardly at an angle with respect to the middle section, the golf device being adapted to be placed on shoulders of a golfer and gripped with hands at the distal ends of the arm sections; and    two lasers, wherein each laser connects to a distal end of an arm section, the lasers being adapted to project a laser beam.    
     
     
         2 ) The golf swing training and exercise device of  claim 1  in which the angle each arm section forms with the middle section is the same.  
     
     
         3 ) The golf swing training and exercise device of  claim 2  in which the middle section and arm sections have an elongated cylindrical configuration.  
     
     
         4 ) The golf swing training and exercise device of  claim 3  in which the arm sections each have a length of about 5″ to 12″, and the middle section has a length of about 24″ to 36″.  
     
     
         5 ) The golf swing training and exercise device of  claim 4  in which the proximal end of each arm section forms an angle of between about 30 to 50 degrees with the middle section.  
     
     
         6 ) The golf swing training and exercise device of  claim 5  further including two handgrips, wherein each handgrip is adjacent a laser and connected to an arm section at the distal end, the handgrips being adapted to receive a hand of the golfer.  
     
     
         7 ) The golf swing training and exercise device of  claim 6  in which the middle section includes a resilient pad.  
     
     
         8 ) The golf swing training and exercise device of  claim 7  in which the pad is formed from a soft material, such as foam or rubber.  
     
     
         9 ) The golf swing training and exercise device of  claim 8  in which the golf device weights between ten and thirty pounds.  
     
     
         10 ) A golf device for training and exercising a golfer, the golf device comprising: 
 a middle section having an elongated shape with two ends;    two arms, each arm having a distal end and a proximal end;    two junctions, each junction connecting a proximal end of an arm to one end of the middle section, wherein each arm extends outwardly from the middle section and forms an angle with the middle section, and wherein the angle each arm forms with the middle section is the same; and    two lasers, each laser being connected to a distal end of the arm, the lasers being adapted to emit a laser beam from the distal end of the arm, and the golf device being adapted to be placed behind a neck and on shoulders of the golfer during use.    
     
     
         11 ) The golf device of  claim 10  in which the middle section is anatomically shaped to have a bowed configuration adapted to curve around a neck of the golfer.  
     
     
         12 ) The golf device of  claim 11  in which the middle section and arms are fabricated from at least one of a metallic material or polymer.  
     
     
         13 ) The golf device of  claim 12  in which the middle section and arms are formed from one of a solid bar or hollow tube.  
     
     
         14 ) The golf device of  claim 10  further including two handgrips, wherein each handgrip is connected to one arm adjacent the distal end.  
     
     
         15 ) The golf device of  claim 14  in which the handgrips are adapted to be gripped by the golfer and are formed from one of rubber or polymer.
