Abstract: A golf training method in which the player is provided with a source of uniformly spaced-apart beat signals which are discernable by the golfer, either visually or audibly, or both. The golfer is guided to perform the backswing and foreswing portions of the golf stroke, from the moment of take-away to the moment of ball impact at the end of the foreswing, in synchronization with a predetermined number of beat signals, the first of which is synchronized with the moment of take-away and the last of which is synchronized with ball impact. The tempo of beat signals is adjustable to accommodate different golfers, and also to accommodate different swing tempos of the same golfer with different clubs and swing lengths. The source of beat signals advantageously is a small, pocket-size, battery operated electronic device adjustable to provide beat counts over a substantial range from, for example, 40 to 216 beats per minute.
