Abstract
A golf swing alignment device that includes a housing having a laser, which can be directed at a target such as a golf hole to enable the golfer to pre-position his or her body and feet prior to striking the ball. An affixing device for affixing the housing to a location on a golfer'"'"'s body such as a VELCRO® strap or belt clip is also provided. The laser emits a signal that points toward an external reference for providing the golfer with a swing alignment reference separate from the golfer'"'"'s body. One or more laser devices can be placed at various positions on the golfer'"'"'s body or clothing such as the ankle, belt or cap. The golfer can activate one or more of the laser devices by use of a remote control unit that sends power and command signals to the one or more laser devices. The remote control unit can also modify the laser signal to produce, for example, intermittent bursts of laser light in order to better define the path to the target. A swiveling member is affixed to the housing of each laser device to allow the golfer to adjust the lasers such that visible light can be emitted in various planes and directions.
