Golf and exercise stretch device

Abstract

A portable device to assist in stretching for golf and sports activities is disclosed. The device includes a straight tube leg with foot, an angled bridge tube with a 40 to 50 degree first angled portion and a 90 to 120 degree second angled portion, and another straight bar leg with foot are attached to provide a stretching device that emulates the stretches for athletic stances including golf address, takeaway, backswing, follow through, and putting stance. The top bridge tube is adjustable to allow two variations of device height.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus to facilitate stretching, in particular, stretching before, during and after playing golf, said apparatus comprising:
 a first tube having a central linear portion, a first end portion disposed at an angle of 130-40 degrees to said central linear portion, and a second end portion disposed at an angle of 90-120 degrees to said central linear portion, wherein said central linear portion, said first end portion and said second end portion are all coplanar, and wherein the distal ends of said first end portion and said second end portion are both on the same side of said central linear portion within the plane defined by said central linear portion, said first end portion and said second end portion,   a second linear tube having a first end connected to said first end portion of said first tube and a second end connected to a base, and   a third linear tube having a first end connected to said second end portion of said first tube and a second end connected to a base.   
     
     
         2 . An apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein said base of said second linear tube is a connected tube perpendicular to said second linear tube and perpendicular to the plane defined by said central linear portion, said first end portion and said second end portion of said first tube, and said base of said third linear tube is a connected tube perpendicular to said third linear tube and perpendicular to the plane defined by said central linear portion, said first end portion and said second end portion of said first tube. 
     
     
         3 . An apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein said base of said second linear tube can be disconnected and reconnected, and said base of said third linear tube can be disconnected and reconnected. 
     
     
         4 . An apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein an outer portion of said second linear tube is concentrically surrounded by a first grip member and an outer portion of said third linear tube is concentrically surrounded by a second grip member. 
     
     
         5 . An apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein said second linear tube can be disconnected from and subsequently reconnected to said first end portion of said first tube, and said third linear tube can be disconnected from and subsequently reconnected to said second end portion of said first tube. 
     
     
         6 . An apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein said base of said second linear tube is a connected tube perpendicular to said second linear tube and perpendicular to the plane defined by said central linear portion, said first end portion and said second end portion of said first tube, and said base of said third linear tube is a connected tube perpendicular to said third linear tube and perpendicular to the plane defined by said central linear portion, said first end portion and said second end portion of said first tube. 
     
     
         7 . An apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein said base of said second linear tube can be disconnected and reconnected, and said base of said third linear tube can be disconnected and reconnected. 
     
     
         8 . An apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein an outer portion of said second linear tube is concentrically surrounded by a first grip member and an outer portion of said third linear tube is concentrically surrounded by a second grip member.
