Abstract
Abstract A golf swing exercise apparatus includes an extensible band exhibiting force to extension. First and second attachment loops are formed at opposite ends of the band to mount the band at one end to a stationary support surface and to removably receive the shaft of a golf club at another end. Movement of the golf club under force extends the band to simulate a portion of a golf club swing. A bracket including a base and a perpendicular leg are removably mountable below the bottom edge of a support. A vertical post is mounted on the base for receiving the first end of the band to securely attach the first end of the band to the bracket.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
163 words
A golf swing exercise apparatus for practicing a golf club swing comprising: an elastic bond having first and second ends, the elastic band exerting a resistance to extension from a normal unextended length; bracket means mountable to a stationary surface; first means for attaching the first end of the band to the bracket means; and second means in the form of a loop formed on the second end of the band for removably attaching the second end of the band to the shaft of a golf club, said bracket means comprising: a planar base having opposed side edges; a leg contiguous with the base and extending substantially perpendicular to one side edge of the base; the base and leg configured for engagement with a stationary surface; a support extending outward from the other side edge of the base; a post fixedly connected to and extending substantially perpendicular from the support parallel to the leg, the first attaching means removably attachable about the post.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
