Abstract

A method and apparatus providing a golf training apparatus configured to aid a golfer in developing a consistent golf swing. The golf training apparatus includes a triangle plane guide, a shaft coupler and a limb attachment member. The triangle plane guide includes two side members and a top member coupled to each other to form a triangular configuration. The shaft coupler is operatively coupled to a portion of the triangle plane guide and is operable to removably couple with a shaft of the golf club below a grip end of the shaft so that said triangle plane guide is disposed in a suspended position above the shaft. The limb attachment member is coupled to the triangle plane guide and operable to attach to a limb of the golfer in an adjustable manner. With this arrangement, the triangle plane guide is operable to provide a visual reference while addressing a golf ball in a golf stance, wherein the visual reference includes (i) visual alignment from an apex of the two side members down the shaft toward the golf ball and (ii) visual alignment of the top member with a distant target.
