Abstract: A golf training aid with indicia that directs a golfer to the proper address and impact positions for more accurate shots. The training mat allows a user to learn and develop muscle memory to the basics of how to compress a golf ball. In some of its many embodiments, the present general inventive concept comprises a golf practice mat/towel that provides indicia showing the proper foot stance, ball position and the appropriate club shaft position with respect to different types of golf clubs.

Abstract: A controlled descent mechanism with a self locking feature. The mechanism includes a belt with an end for attaching to a higher elevation and a free end. The belt is routed between moveable pins within the mechanism and slides across the pins as it moves through the mechanism. The pins can be moved toward one another to induce a dynamic friction within the mechanism to slow the rate of belt movement. The mechanism includes an attachment location for a user harness, and can be used to lower the user while controlling the rate of descent. The mechanism includes a self locking feature to automatically arrest the descent of the user.
