Abstract: A golf club training device is provided having a shaft with a proximal and distal end, a club head fixedly attached to the distal end of the shaft member, and a handle fixedly attached to the proximal end of the shaft member. The club head has a face used for striking the ball. A mechanism is provided for measuring the angle of the shaft relative to horizontal and for audibly indicating when the shaft is in the horizontal position relative to the ground. As a result, when the user addresses the ball with the face of the golf club facing the ball, and then moves the club through the backswing in an arc of 270 degrees, an audible signal is emitted when the shaft reaches the horizontal position.

Abstract: An improved putting device is disclosed having a mechanism for measuring the backstroke distance of the putters club head during use, means for converting the measurement into an electronic signal, a microprocessor for calculating the distance a golf ball will travel when struck with the backstroke indicated by the electronic signal, a liquid crystal display electronically connected to the microprocessor for displaying to the user in alpha-numeric form the distance the ball will travel and a battery for providing electrical current to the device. Programing may be also provided for measuring club head speed and force if required.
