Abstract
A golf swing teaching device includes two elastic arm cuffs which are interconnected and which each fit on one of the golfer's arm between the golfer's elbow and the golfer's shoulder such that the golfer's arms are biased toward each other while executing a golf swing. An elastic hip strap is connected to the arm cuff holding the trailing swing arm and includes a clamp which is secured to a point in proximity to the golfer's hip which is on the opposite side of the golfer's body as the golfer's trailing swing arm. As the golfer executes a golf back swing, the hip strap causes the golfer's hip to be rotated in the direction of the golfer's back swing. The position of the hip strap on the golfer's hip and the length of the hip strap can be adjusted to suit different golfers and the use of different clubs by individual golfers. In accordance with the method of the present invention, the golfer first repeatedly practices the golf swing with both arms in their respective arm cuffs. After sufficient practice, the golfer's leading arm is removed from its arm cuff and practice is continued with only the golfer's trailing swing arm being placed in an arm cuff. A fastener is provided to hold the empty arm cuff next to the other arm cuff when only one arm cuff is being used.
