Abstract: A golf training aid comprising an alignment band which is attached to a pair of spaced apart mounting points to establish a straight baseline, a first tension member one end of which is attached to one of the mounting points and a second tension member one end of which is attached to the other of the mounting points, the other ends of the tension members being secured to the head of a golf club; the tension members urging the head of the golf club into alignment with the baseline established by the alignment band to enable a golfer to practice the proper movement of various golf strokes against tension while discerning and maintaining the alignment of the selected hitting area of the head of his club with the desired path of movement. The mounting points may be defined by mounting bases provided with a top recess for receiving a chair leg and/or with an aperture through the bottom through which a peg may be extended into the ground.
