Abstract
Abstract A mechanism for use in teaching a user the proper golf swing to employ. The mechanism is in the form of a platform on which a golf tee and ball may be placed, with an erect rod fastened to the base, the upper end of which is mounted to a circular band of a size to fit freely, without contact, about the body of the user while swinging a golf club on the platform to drive the golf ball off the tee. The inside of the band is fitted with contact switches which actuate an alarm signal when touched by the body of the user, indicating that the user's body was not in balance during the golf swing.
