Patent attributes
A golf swing practice apparatus including a golf ball simulation target and anchor for securing the target to a support surface. The anchor may be a ground stake when the surface is the ground and, alternatively, a mat anchor when the surface is a golf training mat. A connector arm horizontally offsets the anchor out of the way from the target, and can be adjustably positioned relative to the target to raise or lower the position of the target above the support surface as desired. A marker is supported by the target for leaving a mark on the golf club head during a practice swing. The location of the mark relative to the “sweet spot” on the golf club head can be used to adjust the golf swing. The mark can be two marks whose relative sizes indicate whether the target was hit with an open or close face impact.
