Abstract

There is described a golf teaching aid provided with a central body ( 1 ), elongate target alignment means ( 2 ) projecting from the eternal body ( 1 ), a putting alignment bar ( 12 ) connected to one side of the central body, and one or more club alignment bars ( 10, 11 ) connected to an opposite side of the central body in alignment with the putting alignment bar and substantially at a right angle to the target alignment means. The target alignment means can be an elongate bar extending through the central body. In one form, a curved putting guide ( 13 ) is mounted to the putting alignment bar ( 12 ) to extend alongside that bar. In another form, at least one of the putting alignment bar ( 12 ) and the club alignment bars ( 10, 11 ) is pivotable sidewardly relative to the target alignment means ( 2 ). At least one of the club alignment bars can also have a curved swing guide ( 25, 26 ) extending from an outer end distal from the central body ( 1 ). A golfer can use the golf teaching aid to practice various golf strokes using different golf clubs.
