 Golfer's aid

Details
Inventors: Lott, Thomas M.;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner:
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm:

A golfer's aid is provided in the form of a translucent sheet having two transparent crosses thereon wherein the center of the crosses corresponds with the separation of a user's eyes, and a pair of vertical and horizontal slots, respectively, above and at the outer sides of said crosses, said sheet being pivotally supported by extension arms well in front of the user's eyes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In the game of golf it is important that the player start with his head in the proper position and with his eyes on the ball.
As the golfer swings, it is important that he not raise or lower his head or move his head sidewise.
Also, in putting it is important that the player line up the putter club face with the projected path of the ball and also that the player be in proper alignment with the hole in order that the ball follow a path to the hole and not to one side.
Various devices have been proposed in the past but they have suffered from a number of deficiencies.
Many of the devices consist of some marking which may be on a lens which is in the same plane as normal glasses and as such it is completely out of focus in the player's eyes and thus does not project a usable indication.
Other devices have been spaced from the user's eyes but they do not provide for both vertical and horizontal alignment but normally provide only single position.
In accordance with the present invention, a golfer's aid is provided which consists primarily of a sheet of translucent material with transparent crosses thereon, each cross being centered at about the pupil of the eye of a wearer.
The translucent sheet is supported some distance from the user's face, at least as far as the tip of the nose, so that a sharp image of the cross is projected.
When the user looks down at a properly centered ball, the ball appears to be in the center of the cross.
If his head is high or low, the ball will be above or below the center.
A side movement is indicated by the image of the ball being to the right or left of the center.
Also, if the down swing is too fast, the image of the ball will move to the right while a high backswing will move the image to the left.
In addition to being useful in driving, the golfer's aid of the present invention helps greatly in putting.
The horizontal lines of the cross are used to line up the face of the putter with the projected path so that the ball will go straight and not at an angle to the putter
