Golf Training Accessory

Abstract

A golf training accessory for improving the effectiveness of exercises of sliding a golf club along a guide surface is disclosed. The accessory includes a suitable contact material along with a method of removably attaching the material to a golf club. In use, the contact material rather than the golf club contacts the guide surface. Preferably the method of attachment is a layer of re-useable adhesive. Preferably the contact material is a material that causes a low level of abrasion when it slides against a hard smooth surface. Preferably the contact material is a material that causes low friction when it slides against a hard smooth surface. Preferably the contact material is a material that causes a low level of noise when it slides against a hard smooth surface. Suitable materials may include a soft cloth material such as cotton or felt.
