Golf training aid

Abstract

The golf training aid includes a mat forming a primary plane having a top hitting surface and a means for adjusting the angle of incline of the primary plane in relation to a ground surface. Optionally, angled supports removably attached to the bottom surface of the mat can be used to adjust the angle of incline of the mat. As a further option, the top hitting surface may include a swing pathway configured to aid the golfer in hitting a draw shot.

1 . A golf training aid comprising:
 a hitting mat forming a primary plane comprising a top hitting surface,   a means for adjusting the angle of the primary plane in relation to a ground surface.   
     
     
         2 . The golf training aid of  claim 1 , wherein the top hitting surface comprises a swing path. 
     
     
         3 . The golf training aid of  claim 2 , wherein the swing path is defined by a different color than the top hitting surface. 
     
     
         4 . The golf training aid of  claim 1  comprising a frame, wherein the hitting mat is disposed within the frame. 
     
     
         5 . A golf training aid comprising:
 a hitting mat forming a primary plane comprising a top hitting surface and a bottom surface,   a plurality of angled supports removably attached to the bottom surface of the hitting mat, wherein the angled supports are operable to adjust the angle of the top hitting surface.   
     
     
         6 . A golf training aid of  claim 5  wherein each of the angled supports comprises an angled top surface, a bottom surface, a proximal end, and a distal end, wherein the angled top surface is removably attached to the bottom surface of the hitting mat,
 wherein the angled supports are configured to be arranged sequentially from a distal end of the golf training aid to a proximal end of the golf training aid such that the angled top surface of each of the angled supports forms a secondary plane beneath the hitting mat. 
 
     
     
         7 . The golf training aid of  claim 6 , wherein the angled supports are removably attached to the bottom surface of the hitting mat with a fastener. 
     
     
         8 . The golf training aid of  claim 5 , wherein the top hitting surface comprises a swing path. 
     
     
         9 . The golf training aid of  claim 8 , wherein the swing path is a different color than the top hitting surface. 
     
     
         10 . A method for learning how to hit a draw shot comprising the steps of:
 providing a golf training aid comprising a hitting mat forming a primary plane comprising a top hitting surface, and a means for adjusting the angle of the primary plane in relation to a ground surface;   setting the angle of the top hitting surface to a first angle and hitting at least one shot; and   adjusting the angle of the top hitting surface to a reduced angle and hitting at least one shot.
