GOLF SWING TRAINING DEVICE AND METHOD

A golf swing training apparatus includes a base for supporting a person and at least one target path. A pair of risers is fixed with the base, each having a receiver for an arm mechanism that extends up and over the person's head, terminates at a distal end, and pivots between top and bottom positions. The arm mechanism includes a plurality of pulleys fixed thereto around which a cable is positioned. An urging mechanism urges the arm mechanism into the top position. The cable is fixed between the distal end of the arm mechanism and the riser, and includes a shackle at a distal end thereof. A generally cylindrical handle is slidably fixed with and captures the shackle between forward and rear stops. The handle includes a first laser and an opposing second laser for illuminating the target path during practice swings of the handle.
