Golf posture training aid device

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a golf posture training aid device for teaching golf stand and posture techniques. In particular, the golf posture training aid device includes a posture strap member coupling two stand members at a top end portion of each stand member for providing visual and/or sensory feedback to the golfer while practicing golf swing maneuvers.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A golf posture training aid device comprising:
 a first stand member having a first strap attachment member coupled to a top portion of the first stand member and a first base support member coupled to a bottom portion of the first stand member;   a second stand member having a second strap attachment member coupled to a top portion of the second stand member and a second base support member coupled to a bottom portion of the second stand member; and   a posture strap member coupling the first strap attachment member to the second strap attachment member, wherein the first stand member is separated from the second stand member by a distance not exceeding a fixed length of the posture strap member when the golf posture training aid device is in a fully assembled state, and wherein the first stand member and the second stand member are consolidated into a single unit when the golf posture training aid device is dismantled and in a compact state.   
     
     
         2 . The golf posture training aid device of  claim 1 , wherein each base support member includes a round stabilizing base plate or a rectangular stabilizing base plate. 
     
     
         3 . The golf posture training aid device of  claim 1 , wherein each base support member includes an anchoring stake. 
     
     
         4 . The golf posture training aid device of  claim 1 , wherein each strap attachment member includes a peg assembly comprising a strap opening and a peg slot. 
     
     
         5 . The golf posture training aid device of  claim 4 , wherein a peg is coupled to at least one end portion of the posture strap member and configured to mate and attach to the peg slot. 
     
     
         6 . The golf posture training aid device of  claim 1 , wherein a clip is disposed on each strap attachment member. 
     
     
         7 . The golf posture training aid device of  claim 6 , wherein a buckle is coupled to at least one end portion of the posture strap member and configured to mate and attach to the clip. 
     
     
         8 . The golf posture training aid device of  claim 1 , wherein a magnetic plate is disposed on each strap attachment member. 
     
     
         9 . The golf posture training aid device of  claim 8 , wherein a magnetic fastener is coupled to at least one end portion of the posture strap member and configured to magnetically fasten to the magnetic plate. 
     
     
         10 . The golf posture training aid device of  claim 1 , wherein the first strap attachment member includes a retractable strap assembly having a mechanical spool and spring component and a strap release button. 
     
     
         11 . The golf posture training aid device of  claim 1 , wherein the first stand member and the second stand member are coupled by a dual c-clip fastener when the posture training aid device is dismantled and in the compact state. 
     
     
         12 . The golf posture training aid device of  claim 1 , wherein the first stand member has a hollow interior through which the second stand member is fully inserted when the posture training aid device is dismantled and in the compact state. 
     
     
         13 . The golf posture training aid device of  claim 1 , wherein the first stand member and the second stand member are coupled by a keyed interlocking assembly when the posture training aid device is dismantled and in the compact state. 
     
     
         14 . The golf posture training aid device of  claim 1 , wherein the first stand member and the second stand member are coupled by a magnetic retaining assembly when the posture training aid device is dismantled and in the compact state. 
     
     
         15 . The golf posture training aid device of  claim 1 , wherein each stand member includes a stand stabilizing member for providing back support when the posture training aid device is in the fully assemble state. 
     
     
         16 . The golf posture training aid device of  claim 1 , wherein each stand member includes a stand height adjustment member for lowering or extending a total height of each stand member when the posture training aid device is in the fully assemble state. 
     
     
         17 . The golf posture training aid device of  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of reference markers is applied to at least one side of the posture strap member for visually measuring a lateral shift of a golfer while practicing swing maneuvers. 
     
     
         18 . The golf posture training aid device of  claim 1 , wherein touch switches are disposed on at least one side of the posture strap member, wherein the touch switches are configured to detect physical contact by a hip or buttocks of a golfer during golf swing maneuvers. 
     
     
         19 . The golf posture training aid device of  claim 18 , wherein an electrical signal from the touch switches is transmitted to an external computing device which determines and generates an alert response message to the golfer based on a location and a number of touch switches triggered by the golfer. 
     
     
         20 . The golf posture training aid device of  claim 19 , wherein the alert response message is conveyed to the golfer by a visual alert unit, an audio alert unit, and/or a wireless alert unit.
