Golf Training Device and Method

Abstract

The present disclosure includes systems, devices, and methods for initiating application of a substance to a surface of a golf club. The substance configured to provide a golfer with feedback on which portion of their golf club they strike a golf ball with. For example, an apparatus may include a first component configured to receive a golf club and an actuator configured to initiate application of a substance to a surface of the golf club configured to contact a golf ball. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus comprising:
 a first component configured to receive a golf club; and   an actuator configured to initiate application of a substance to a surface of the golf club, the surface configured to contact a golf ball.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the first component is coupled to the actuator. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the actuator is configured to be in a first position when the first component is in a second position, and the actuator is configured to be in a third position when the first component is in a fourth position. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus according to  claim 3  wherein the actuator is configured to initiate application of the substance when the actuator moves from the first position to the third position. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the first component is configured to receive a force from the golf club, the force configured to move the actuator from a first position to a second position. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus according to  claim 5  wherein the actuator is configured to initiate application of the substance when the actuator moves from the first position to the second position. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising a base configured to be coupled to each of the first component and the actuator. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the actuator is configured to move from a first position to a second position; and   the actuator is configured to initiate application of the substance when the actuator moves from the first position to the second position.   
     
     
         9 . The apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the actuator is biased to the first position. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the actuator is configured to engage an auxiliary component, the auxiliary component including the substance. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising a nozzle configured to apply the substance to the first surface of the golf club. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the substance comprises an aerosol. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the actuator includes more than one components. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising a brush configured to apply the substance to the surface, the actuator configured to rotate the brush. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the actuator is configured to move a spray nozzle of an aerosol container including the substance from a first position to a second position, the spray nozzle configured to disperse the substance from the aerosol container when the spray nozzle moves from the first position to the second position. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the actuator includes a second component configured to receive a foot. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus according to  claim 16 , wherein the second component is configured to receive a force from the foot, the force configured to move the actuator from a first position to a second position, the actuator configured to initiate application of the substance when the actuator moves from the first position to the second position. 
     
     
         18 . A method for applying a substance to a golf club comprising:
 receiving a golf club at a first component of an apparatus; and   moving an actuator of the apparatus, the actuator configured to initiate application of a substance to a first surface of the golf club when the actuator moves.   
     
     
         19 . The method according to  claim 18 , further comprising biasing the actuator to a first position, the actuator configured to initiate application of the substance when the actuator moves from the first position to a second position. 
     
     
         20 . The method according to  claim 18 , further comprising engaging an auxiliary component with the actuator, the auxiliary component including the substance.
