Abstract: A golf training aid simulating a grass whip consists of a club shaft, a neck portion, and a blade portion. The blade portion is connected to the club shaft via the neck portion. The club shaft replicates the shaft of a golf club. The blade portion replicates the club head of a golf club. The weight for the blade portion is specifically selected so that the wrists of the user adjusts along with the swing. Moreover, the shape of the blade portion is specifically shaped to minimize air resistance. The shape of the blade portion also helps the blade portion to smoothly cut through grass. Since the apparatus helps the user practice on striking grass during a swing, when a golf club is used with a golf ball, the user can accurately strike the ball at an optimal contact point.

Abstract: My invention is a multipurpose gardening and weeding tool that reduces the effort of effectively getting rid of weeds, dandelions, and other unwanted vegetation while the user is in an upright standing position. The user places the split tipped end of the tool close to the base of the plant or weed and inserts the tool vertically at the base of the weed. Additional insertion force can be applied by stepping on the heart shaped blade. As the blade becomes the fulcrum, the leverage force removes the weed and its root(s). This very sturdy, uncomplicated tool will enable people working in yards or gardens or around shrubbery to effectively get rid of the unwanted vegetation, roots and all, while the user remains in a standing position. This tool can also be used to prepare the soil to cultivate vegetable gardens and flower gardens and as a hoe to work around individual plants or rows of plants.
