Abstract

A tear drop shaped body containing a pair of differently oriented and pitched whistles is attached to the shaft of a golf stick to indicate slices and hooks when the golf stick is swung. When the golf stick is properly swung, neither whistle will produce a sound.

Claims

1. An attachment for the shaft of a golf club, said attachment comprising a tear shaped body having an outer surface developed about an axis, said body having upper and lower surfaces and opposite side surfaces, a first channel extending from one side surface to the other side surface, a second channel extending from said other side surface to said one side surface, said channels being separated from and oblique to one another, a relatively low pitched whistle in one channel and a relatively high pitched whistle in the other channel, the entrances of the channels being so positioned with respect to the forward portion of said body, that motion of said body along said axis causes no sound of said whistles but motion of said body along a line oblique with respect to said axis causes one of the two whistles to sound.

2. The attachment of claim 1 wherein the entrances of said channels are positioned at the maximum cross-sectional dimensions of said body.

3. The attachment of claim 1 wherein the exits of said channels are positioned at the said rearward portion of said body.

4. The attachment of claim 1 wherein said body and said channels are integrally composed of plastic.

5. The attachment of claim 1 wherein the axis of said body is perpendicular to the plane of the head of the golf club to which said body is attached.
