Claim
The portable simple device eliminates 4 critical elements of learning and
playing golf.
1) Alignment is the most important element in golf, as you are standing over
the ball it is very
difficult to know if you are pointed or aliened correctly. The pin pointer
allows you to alien your
tee shot (first hole at each hole). By placing it on the ground in front of
the tee and ball, it
provides the user with a shot line and allows them to aim the shot while
looking down at the
ball. The foot line on the device makes sure the players heal is properly
placed resulting in the
player being in the right stance and line for the shot. They can pick up the
pointer when set or
leave it on the ground for the drive.
2) Club Selection, many new players have difficulty selecting clubs for
varying distances. The
portable devise displays suggested club selection for long and short ball
hitters based on the
distance to the pin.
3) Fairway alignment and follow through, the pointer can be used as a
alignment tool on the
fairway and a reference to ensure you follow through your shot, by placing the
pointer on your
shot line, 2 feet in front of the ball. You can also use the pointer to the
side of the ball or you can
use the pointer on both sides of the ball to cradle the ball aiming at the
target.
4) Putting speed and accuracy. The device can be used on the putting green by
placing the point
behind the ball you can line up your put. The gage on the side of the pointer
also allows the user
to control the speed of the put. It also is used to remind the player to keep
the putter straight
and low on the take away and lift the putter to get the ball rolling at
impact.

portability is
not conducive to an actual game situation. This device covers every aspect of
