  • Publication number: 20090325722
    Abstract: A golf swing training aid is provided that is manually formed at the time of use from a prepared, uniquely constructed sheet-platform of semi-rigid, joint-able material. The golf swing training aid comprises a positioning flap, a horizontal flap, an illumination device disposed on the horizontal flap, and a hinged club-attachment flap. The joint-able material is scored (such as by perforation, pre-bending, kiss-cutting, or the like) to facilitate the bending of particular failure/score lines to form the various flaps. The preferably dual illumination device provides an illuminated and bi-colored representation of the otherwise imperceptible elements of a golf swing, allowing the golfer to visualize and correct his swing plane, perpendicular club head alignment at impact, and sweet spot alignment. Not only does the golf swing training aid provide a beneficial service to the golfer, it also is customizable for promotional or marketing purposes by standard printing techniques.

  • Publication number: 20090325735
    Abstract: A pocket-friendly golf accessory card formed of a prepared, uniquely constructed sheet of joint-able material is provided from which one or more golf accessories are manually formable. The golf accessory formable from the card comprises one or more golf tees, golf ball position markers, directional vanes, and golf ball liners. The flat pocket-friendly golf accessory card is configured with one or more CUTS formed by cutting through the card and with one or more JOINTS formed by cutting through a portion of the card. These one or more CUTS and JOINTS within the joint-able material facilitate the detachment or the bending of particular lines to form the various card configurations, which are then functionally usable as a golf accessory. Not only does the pocket-friendly golf accessory card provide a beneficial, functioning golf accessory, it also is customizable for promotional or marketing purposes by standard printing techniques.
