Abstract
A training method for the game of golf is disclosed. More specifically, the method comprises engaging a golfer's leg above the golfer's knee, engaging a golfer's leg below the golfer's knee, selecting an optimum knee flexion angle, locking the knee at the selected angle, approaching the ball in preparation for a golf swing, and swinging the club through all phases of the golf swing (e.g., take-away, impact, and follow-through). The method further comprises unlocking the knee to permit unrestricted ambulation for walking to the next swing position then selecting an additional knee flexion angle (that may be the same or different as the first depending on the attributes of the golfer and environmental conditions), locking the knee at the selected angle, and swinging the club through all phases of a golf swing. Improvements in the swing mechanics of a golfer can be realized with the training method of the invention.
