1 . A system of golfing aids to a golfer for improving golf shots, said system comprising: an automatic activation switch for automatically activating at least one golfing aid when a golfer prepares to take a shot, and at least one automatically activated golfing aid. 
   
   
       2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said automatic activation switch is an RFID tag. 
   
   
       3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said automatic activation switch is a mercury switch. 
   
   
       4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said automatic activation switch is located in a handle of a golf club. 
   
   
       5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the golf club comprises a handle, a shaft, a head, and a hand grip binding, and said automatic activation switch is inserted between the end of the hand grip binding and the shaft. 
   
   
       6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one automatically activated golfing aid consists of at least one of the group which comprises:
 (i) a photographic system for recording stance of the golfer;   (ii) an audio module for providing instructions to the golfer, and   (iii) a visual system for aiding the golfer to keep focused on the ball during a shot.   
   
   
       7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein said system comprises two aids from the list. 
   
   
       8 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein said system comprises three aids from the list. 
   
   
       9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one automatically activated golfing aid is a photographic system comprising a remotely activated switch, a camera, a recording medium, and a power supply. 
   
   
       10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein said camera is a video camera. 
   
   
       11 . The system of  claim 9 , further comprising an automatic focusing means. 
   
   
       12 . The system of  claim 9 , further comprising a homing means for orienting said camera onto the golfer and a signal emitter for engaging said homing means. 
   
   
       13 . The system of  claim 9 , further comprising a clip for clipping onto a golf bag or a golf cart. 
   
   
       14 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one automatically activated golfing aid is an audio module for providing instructions to the golfer comprising an activation switch, a power supply, a memory for storing instructions, and a transducer for converting stored instructions into an audible signal. 
   
   
       15 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein said audio module further comprises a microphone for allowing recording of instructions into said memory. 
   
   
       16 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein said audio module further comprises a sensor for sensing a type of club to be used, and a controller for effecting playback of an audio message from said memory, associated with the type of club. 
   
   
       17 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein said memory is selected from the list of optical memories and magnetic memories. 
   
   
       18 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein said memory is a flash memory chip. 
   
   
       19 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein said transducer is selected from the list of ear pieces and speakers. 
   
   
       20 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one automatically activated golfing aid is a visual system for aiding the golfer to keep focused on the ball during a shot comprising an LED that is attachable to a peak of a golf cap, a power supply and an activation switch, such that activation of the LED causes it to illuminate. 
   
   
       21 . The system of  claim 20 , wherein activation of said LED causes it to flash. 
   
   
       22 . The system of  claim 20 , wherein said LED is activated by a movement sensor indicating that the head of the golfer is steady for a given period and is deactivated by said movement sensor indicating that the head of the golfer is no longer steady.
