Golfing aid
Abstract
Abstract A device for aiding in the playing of the game of golf, particularly where playing on a sidehill such that the golf ball lies at a level above or below the golfer''s feet. The device indicates the proper alignment of club and line of swing to compensate for the inclination of the sidehill. The device includes a base formed of pivotally connected members which define a first plane and a pointer element which extends upwardly from the base. When the pointer element is aligned along the line of sight from the ball to the point where the ball is to be hit, an indicator element positioned in the plane of the base lies parallel to the line of swing which will result in a line of flight of the ball along the above mentioned line of sight. The pointer element is adjustable to various marked positions which are functionally related to the lofts of the various club heads used in striking golf balls.
