Abstract
A golf training aid designed to give a golfer a multi-sensory practice experience by providing sound, smell and a visual measure of how the club struck the ball at impact. The invention uses cap strips placed in the club face starting with the largest size and then smaller size as accurate as he improves. The device includes using a thin paper body with an array of tiny explosive charges disposed across the surface that includes an adhesive for attaching the invention to the club face while permitting its removal when the shot has been taken. The golfer can visually determine where the ball impacted the club face after the shot. The golfer also hears an explosion at the time of impact along with a olfactory response from the caps exploding. The golf training aid is very inexpensive to use, and the devices can be saved to see the pattern of hitting from the golfer. The golf training aid does not impact the swing of the golfer in any way from a normal golf swing because it is so tiny and does not measurably change the golf swing at all.
