The inventor has not observed in pro shops, golf stores, or on golf courses/driving ranges a durable, small, rubber-like or pliable, soft plastic product that does what The Turf-Saver does. Alignment devices are typically larger and more cumbersome. The current method of preserving driving range turf is by use of mats on concrete platforms that are roundly disliked by most golfers, especially older golfers whose wrists and forearms are adversely affected. None of the existing devices are practicable for use on the course. The invention is a device designed to provide a surface that will preserve turf, while assisting in alignment of golf clubs with the golf ball, driver through wedge, both on practice ranges and on the golf course. The device, which may be manufactured either of a soft, resilient rubber, or a type of pliable plastic that simulates rubber, is structured so as to receive the club well, simulating actual turf, while preserving the bottom of the club from undue abrasion. There is a one-eighth inch wide stripe located along the center of the device, from front to back, to ensure a proper takeaway at the inception of the swing, and to guide correct release of the club at the instant of impact. |
