BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention relates generally to golf training devices and, more specifically, to a golf swing practice and training towel comprising a golf towel having a plurality of spaced apart lines extending longitudinally and transversely thereacross that are visible when the towel is placed on the ground to afford the user a plurality of alignment positions for foot, hand, ball and club head placement relative to the target and the desired trajectory thereof. The transverse lines serve as reference points for how far the golfer's feet are separated during the swing thus allowing for incremental adjustments to find the optimum positioning for balance and transferring the weight from one leg to another and subsequently performing precise repetitions of the swing from that specific stance.

[0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art

[0004] While there are other golf practice devices, they are not as suitable as the present invention. The present invention serves to provide a simple effective practice and training towel for a golfer to develop consistency in their stance and swing. The present invention serves to function as an ordinary golf towel when not in use as a training and practice aid thereby eliminating clutter in the golf bag by not adding an additional accessory.

SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

[0005] A primary object of the present invention is to provide a golf swing practice and training towel comprising a golf towel with grid-like indicia that is placed on the ground to act as an alignment tool for practicing a consistent golf swing.

[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide a golf swing practice and training towel that serves as a reference for developing a proper stance to optimize balance when transferring weight from one leg to the other during the swing.

[0007] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a golf swing practice and training towel that will enable a golfer to establish a target line that is parallel to the tips of the user's shoes.

[0008] Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a golf swing practice and training towel that will assist the user in setting up a stance relative to the position of the ball.

[0009] Another object of the present invention is to provide a golf swing practice and training towel that will assist in proper club face alignment relative to the golfer, the ball and the target.

[0010] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a golf swing practice and training towel that can provide a reference of the distance that the golfer is setting up away from the ball.

[0011] Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a golf swing practice and training towel that is simple and easy to use.

[0012] Another object of the present invention is to provide a golf swing practice and training towel that is inexpensive to manufacture and operate.

[0013] Additional objects of the present invention will appear as the description proceeds.
