Mass producable golf practice pointers

a golf swing and pointer technology, applied in the field of golf swing direction pointers, can solve the problems of not being able to concentrate on the mass production of golf swing pointers at golf ball driving ranges, and have not focused on golf swing pointers for rubber golf tees, etc., and achieve the effects of convenient use, low manufacturing cost, and safe carrying in the golf club bag

Benefits of technology

[0027] An advantage of the present invention is that it can be mass-produced.
[0028] Another advantage of the present invention is that it is inexpensive to manufacture.
[0029] An additional advantage of the present invention is that it can be carried safely in a golf club bag.
[0030] One more advantage of the present invention is that it is easy to use.
[0031] Yet another advantage of the present invention is that is can be used with the rubber golf tees found at driving ranges.
[0032] Still another advantage of the present invention is that it resists movement when struck by a golf club.

Problems solved by technology

In learning to play golf, there is a major problem involved in swinging at the ball based on the fact that the golfer is instructed to watch the ball while swinging rather than watching where the ball should go toward the green.
While a number of prior art devices have provided pointers for use in association with conventional golf tees, none have focused specifically on golf swing pointers for rubber golf tees at golf ball driving ranges, and on the mass production of such pointers.

Embodiment Construction

[0038] In FIGS. 1-3, a golf practice swing pointer device 20 for use with rubber tees 60 at golf ball driving ranges comprises an elongated pointer 20 formed from a strip of flat material. The pointer 20 comprises a protruding point 21 on the front end, a mating recessed tail 22 on the tail end and an opening 23 through the material between the front end and the tail end. The opening 23 is sufficiently large to admit a rubber golf ball tee 60 of a golf ball driving range through the opening 23, as shown in FIG. 3. The pointer 20 may be of mass-produced from an elongated strip of material with each cut between the pointers 20 forming both the point 21 and the tail 22 simultaneously, as shown in FIG. 2.

[0039] The point 21 is rounded to prevent piercing external objects and be less susceptible to breaking off. The point 21 is recessed from the sides of the pointer 20 by a flat portion 24 on each side, which forms the flat tail points 25. The pair of tail points 25 are flat to prevent ...

Abstract

A portable golf practice swing pointer device for use with rubber tees at golf ball driving ranges may be massed produced in a linear array with the point end of one mating with and cut simultaneously with the tail end of the next.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to golf practice aids and in particular to a portable golf swing direction pointers to be applied to rubber golf tees at golf ball driving ranges, which pointers may be massed produced in a linear array with a point end of one mating with a tail end of another. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] In learning to play golf, there is a major problem involved in swinging at the ball based on the fact that the golfer is instructed to watch the ball while swinging rather than watching where the ball should go toward the green. While a number of prior art devices have provided pointers for use in association with conventional golf tees, none have focused specifically on golf swing pointers for rubber golf tees at golf ball driving ranges, and on the mass production of such pointers. [0005] U.S. Pat. No. 4,181,311, issued Jan. 1, 1980 to Lawlor, provides an improved golf tee device th...
