Golf training device

Abstract

A small compact golf swing alignment aid that lies flat on the ground and can readily be disassembled and placed in a small carrying case that can be carried in the side pocket of any golf bag is described. It requires no attachments to the body nor any parts extending upward from the ground. It assembles flat on the ground with side rods e.g. tubes, that project rearwardly on either side of the user's feet to facilitate foot spacing and foot and body alignment, two front rods e.g. tubes, each of which releasably couples to the front end of one of the side rods, tubes, and are releasably joined endwise to each other through the two opposite side couplings of a three way coupler to form a straight target alignment rod to facilitate proper foot spacing and provide target alignment, and a centrally located vertically forwardly projecting tube releasably connected to the front coupler of said three way coupler to serve as a ball positioning tube.

The invention claimed is: 
     
         1 . A golf alignment device comprising: two side rods, that project rearwardly on either side of the user's feet, a front alignment rod each end of which is releasably coupled to the front, end of one of the two side rods, a three way centrally coupler fixed to said front and a centrally located vertically forwardly projecting rod releasably connected to the front coupler of said three-way coupler. 
     
     
         2 . The golf alignment device of  claim 1 , wherein the rods are hollow tubes. 
     
     
         3 . The golf alignment device of  claim 1 , wherein the parts of the device are made of a rigid plastic 
     
     
         4 . A kit for making a golf alignment device comprising. two front hollow target alignment tubes of equal length,  11   a  and  11   b,  two side tubes  12   a  and  12   b,  a forward projecting tube  13 , two right angle elbow connectors  14   a  and  14   b,  one right angle “T” connector,  15 , a carrying case.
