Abstract: The invention provides a kit for training a golfer to obtain a proper swing, the kit having a base positionable on the ground and having markings to locate the feet and ball in correct relation to a target line to a target. A backswing guide member is securable to the base at a fixed angle to indicate the direction a golf club should be pointing during a first step of a correct backswing when the golfer's wrists are substantially adjacent the leg furthest from the target. "The direction indicated by the backswing guide member is at an angle of approximately 40.degree. to the target line facing away from the target.
