Abstract

A golfing aid, in particular a golf training aid for promoting a correct swing path and alignment, both when hitting golf balls with irons and woods and putting with a putter, and a golf training system.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A golf training system, comprising a plurality of separate elongate members, each including a plurality of interconnected elements having a configuration representative of a succession of golf balls, wherein at least one of the elongate members comprises a curved member as a swing path alignment aid.  
   
   
       2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the elements of the at least one curved member each have successive angular rotations of about 1 degree.  
   
   
       3 . The system of  claim 1 , comprising a plurality of curved members as swing path alignment aids.  
   
   
       4 . The system of  claim 1 , comprising at least one linear member as a stance positioning aid.  
   
   
       5 . The system of  claim 4 , comprising a plurality of linear members as stance positioning aids.  
   
   
       6 . The system of  claim 1 , comprising at least one linear member as a putting swing path alignment aid.  
   
   
       7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the linear member has a flat upper surface and includes a recess therein for retaining a golf ball to be putted, such as to allow the golf ball to be putted therealong.  
   
   
       8 . The system of  claim 6 , comprising a plurality of linear members as putting swing path alignment aids, wherein the linear members each have flat upper surfaces such as to be locatable adjacent one another to provide a flat linear track, and one of the linear members includes a recess therein for retaining a golf ball to be putted, such as to allow the golf ball to be putted therefrom along the track.  
   
   
       9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the elements comprise substantially circular elements.  
   
   
       10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein adjacent ones of the elements merge into one another, such as to represent a continuous flow of golf balls.  
   
   
       11 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the elongate members each have a thickness of at most about 5 mm.  
   
   
       12 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the elongate members are each integrally formed.  
   
   
       13 . A method of training a golfer, comprising the steps of: arranging a plurality of separate elongate members, each including a plurality of interconnected elements having a configuration representative of a succession of golf balls, in a desired configuration, including at least one curved member as a swing path alignment aid; and the golfer swinging a golf club and using the curved member as a swing path alignment aid.  
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein, in the arranging step, a plurality of curved members are arranged as swing path alignment aids.  
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein, in the arranging step, at least one linear member is arranged as a stance positioning aid.  
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein, in the arranging step, a plurality of linear members are arranged as stance positioning aids.  
   
   
       17 . A golf swing path alignment aid, comprising a curved elongate member including a plurality of interconnected elements, wherein the elements have a configuration representative of a succession of golf balls.  
   
   
       18 . The alignment aid of  claim 17 , wherein the elements of the curved member each have successive angular rotations of about 1 degree.  
   
   
       19 . The alignment aid of  claim 17 , wherein the elements comprise substantially circular elements.  
   
   
       20 . The alignment aid of  claim 17 , wherein adjacent ones of the elements merge into one another, such as to represent a continuous flow of golf balls.  
   
   
       21 . The alignment aid of  claim 17 , wherein the elongate member has a thickness of at most about 5 mm.  
   
   
       22 . A putting swing path alignment aid, comprising a linear elongate member including a plurality of interconnected elements, wherein the elements have a configuration representative of a succession of golf balls and define a flat upper surface which includes a recess therein for retaining a golf ball to be putted, such as to allow the golf ball to be putted therealong.  
   
   
       23 . The alignment aid of  claim 22 , wherein the elements comprise substantially circular elements.  
   
   
       24 . The alignment aid of  claim 22 , wherein adjacent ones of the elements merge into one another, such as to represent a continuous flow of golf balls.  
   
   
       25 . The alignment aid of  claim 22 , wherein the elongate member has a thickness of at most about 5 mm.
