<p>A guide for improving a golfer's stance and swing includes an elongated hollow member, an elongated insert member, and a connector. In a golf-practice configuration, the hollow member and the insert member cross each other at preferably 90 degrees and are adjustable relative to each other. Most golfers will prefer the members to cross at exactly 90 degrees, but alternatively embodiments may be generally perpendicular, for example, 85 -95 degrees to each other, for example. In a storage configuration, the insert member is removed from the connector and slid and latched into an interior space of the hollow member. The insert member may be the member that points at the ball and the hollow member may be the member that is generally parallel to the target line, or vice versa. The preferred connector is near the intersection of the hollow member and the insert member but does not require any structure to be between the hollow member and the insert member at or near the place where they cross each other, resulting in a low profile guide. Preferably, only a small portion of the connector contacts the practice mat or ground, resulting in minimal resistance to movement on the mat or ground. Pegs may temporarily fix the guide to a mat, and may be connected to the hollow member and/or the insert member for storage of the entire device as a single, compact unit. A spring or other flexible and resilient member may be provided as the end of the member that points at the golf ball, to prevent damage and dislodgement of the guide if that member is hit by the club.</p> |
