Abstract
A golf training device includes a golf club, a ball receiving socket, a light emitter, and a light beam receiver. The golf club includes a golf head with a front striking face. The golf ball receiving socket has a slot adapted to receive a golf ball that was struck by the golf head. The light emitter is mounted on the golf head and is aligned vertically with the center of the front striking face for emitting a light beam substantially parallel to a line passing through the center of the front striking face and perpendicular to the front striking face. The light beam receiver is mounted on the ball receiving socket in the vicinity of the slot for receiving the light beam and for generating a signal when the slot is in alignment with the light beam.
