Golf swing enhancement device with self contained head piece triggering and support reception systems

Abstract

Disclosed is a self-contained device and method for improving a practicing golfer's swing which is brought about by the movement and action of an elongated headpiece subassembly which is positioned at the side or temporal areas of a practicing golfer's head and withdrawn when there is premature movement or glancing away from one's eye on the golf ball being hit prior to striking the golf ball in the practicing shot, or pulled away when the golf ball is struck without moving one's head or eyes prior to making the shot and proceeding with follow-through.
