Apparatus for use in training golfers including two foot rests on which the golfer places his feet when addressing a golf ball during play of a stroke, the foot rest intended for the left foot, in the case of right handed golfers, or the foot rest intended for the right foot, in the case of left handed golfers being adapted to rock on a retaining structure from a substantially horizontal position to a position in which its foot supporting surface faces outwards relative to the other foot rest. The retaining structure holds a leg rest near the other foot rest to bear against an outside portion of a leg of a golfer during training of the golfer. A rod supports the rockable foot rest and includes spigot formations on each end which fit in complementary shaped formations on the retaining structure to provide different spaced apart positions between the two foot rests.

An instructional device to assist a golfer in developing a golf swing. A base member has one or more transversely extending projections mounted on its top surface, each of which has a rounded top edge to provide a pivot surface for a top board member. The top board is formed with a plurality of transversely extending grooves or a rounded projection on its bottom surface, operatively engageable with the base projections for pivotally or rockingly mounting the top board member on the base. A golfer assumes a usual golf stance on the top board. The weight shift of the golfer upon addressing a ball and during the backswing and downswing, causes the top board to pivot on the projections in a predetermined manner when done correctly to assist the golfer in perfecting the correct golf swing.

A device for use in connection with a golf game or practice apparatus for simulating a fairway surface to enable a player to execute each shot as he would in actual play, especially enabling the player to "strike down" at the golf ball with the simulated feel of taking a chunk of turf but without damaging the simulated fairway surface. The device utilizes an artificial grass turf secured to a cushioned support that is movable in the direction of flight of the ball and compressible when the surface is struck during the golfer's swing. The movable and compressible portion of the artificial turf will return to its original position as soon as the club head is disengaged from the turf. The movable section of artificial turf together with the cushioned support thus provides the golfer with the same "feel" as if actual turf had been taken during the golf shot.

A golf practice apparatus consisting of an elevated table or platform having an artificial grass surface with a tee mounted therein and supported on a plurality of legs, each of which are adjustable in height. A golf club of reduced length is used in combination with the table, so that full swing practices can be made within the confines a normal room. The table also includes a sighting ball as a reminder to the player to keep his head in back of the ball throughout the swing, and the clubs are appropriately weighted at each end, to compensate for the amount of shaft removed from the clubs when they are shortened.

A golf training device that includes a foldable rocker platform which is defined by a pair of half sections which when unfolded, define a circular platform on which a golfer stands to practice his or her back swing, down swing, stance, and the proper position when addressing the ball.
