Golf training device

Abstract

This golf training device includes a forward foot pad with a foot retaining wall along its forward edge to inhibit turning of the forward foot. A connector is provided connecting this forward foot pad to a rear foot pad. The rear foot pad includes a rotator plate to facilitate pivoting of the rear foot during a golf stroke and is slightly inclined to encourage proper stance and weight shifting during a stroke. Further, a ball positioning marker can also be provided for affixing to the connector at an appropriate location to mark the ideal location for ball placement prior to a golf stroke. Finally, the distance between the forward and rear foot pad as well as the angle of a foot pad may be adjusted.
