Abstract
Abstract A golf swing exercise device for utilization indoors. The device is designed to be suspended on a door by means of a horizontal base to which is secured door hooks. An elongated "T" beam extending outward normal to the base supporting pulleys. The "T" beam is stabilized by beam stabilizers diagonally projecting from each side of the "T" beam to a vertical beam. A rope extending through the pulleys secured to the "T" beam. A golf grip and stub shaft is securely attached to one end of the rope and the weight attached to the opposite end of the rope. A grasping of the golf grip by an operator simulating a golf swing reciprocates the weight attached to the rope.
