Abstract: Golfer training apparatus wherein a base is adapted to be strapped to the user at a position in the vicinity of where he positions his hands when addressing the ball. An elongated handle guide has one end secured to the base by a ball and socket joint, such guide being flexible and resilient with an elongated tubular member that simulates a golf club handle being slidable on the guide so that the user's hands are subjected to forces due to the coaction of the handle on the flexible and resilient handle guide that can be readily learned to correspond to a proper back swing and follow through, while virtually preventing the golfer from rearing up. The position of the ball and socket joint is adjustable and the same can be readily disassembled.
