Abstract
The aid/simulator provides an improvement in known equipment to enable the user to simulate a range of shots he can expect during a round of golf. According to this invention, the aid/simulator comprises a base (1) providing a standing area (4) on which the user takes his stance in relation to a ball playing area (3) which is characterised by the base including a platform (2) adjustably mounted on said base so that it can be tilted to a position in relation to the ball the user wishes to practise or simulate, i.e.
an uphill, or downhill lie and/or standing above, or below the ball, drive means (11, 12) being provided for tilting the platform to a selected position. Advantageously, two marked areas (14) are provided corresponding to the user's foot positions, and pressure responsive devices are provided for detecting the weight distribution between the respective feet, signals from which are fed during a golfing swing to comparator means, and thence to indicator means (17) for showing the percentage of bodyweight taken by each foot during a swing.
an uphill, or downhill lie and/or standing above, or below the ball, drive means (11, 12) being provided for tilting the platform to a selected position. Advantageously, two marked areas (14) are provided corresponding to the user's foot positions, and pressure responsive devices are provided for detecting the weight distribution between the respective feet, signals from which are fed during a golfing swing to comparator means, and thence to indicator means (17) for showing the percentage of bodyweight taken by each foot during a swing.

Such equipment is known, of which the most basic is a golf practice range where individual booths ar2 provided, each comprising a base normally in the form of a rubber mat alongside of which is provided a strip of artificial grasa on which the ball can be placed to be hit. Also, 5O1L
training aids/simulators are known which include means for detecting the speed and dlrection of the ball a~ter imp~ict to provide an indication of the quality o~ the 5O1- shot.
According to this invention, there i, provided 2 golf t~aining aid/simulator comprisins a base providins a standins area on which the user takes his stance in relation to a ball playing area, characterised by the base includin~
a platform which is adjustably mounted on said base so tha~
it can be tilted to a position in relation to the ball the user wishes to practise or simulate, ie a~ uphill, or - downhill lie and/or standing above, or below the ball, and drive means for tilting the platform to a selected position.
~ Preferab~y, a~folding bellows is provided around the periphery of the platform and is attached to the base to prevent ingress OL-~ dirt and yet permit tilting of the platform to be effected.
! Advantageously, the standing area of the platform provides two mar~ce~ areas corr0sponding to the user's foot positions, which are provided with pressure responsive ~- - devices~for detecting the weight distribution between the respecti.ve feet, signals from which are fed during a golfing swing to comparator means, and thence to indicator means for ;UE~STITUTE SWEET

2 ~ ~ 4 8 ~ ~ PCI /GB90/01243 showing the percentage of bodyweight taken by each foo~ ~-address and the transfer of weight during a swing. It will be appreciated here that such information woul~ be most useful in analysins the swing and assessing wha~ changes should be made to improve the swing.
It will be further appreciated that, in 2ccordance with the inventior., a training aid~simulator is provide~
that ena~les a golfer to practise or simulate the full ranse of shots he is likely to meet on a golf course and, in conjunction with the advantageous feature referred to above, to be able to review his balance through each swins.
Conveniently, a chaxt may be provided showi.ns the perfect balance and weight transfer required for the range of shots that can be achieved using the simulator/training aid, so that the user can compare them with his actual results to assess what corrections to his swing are desirable.
To effect tilting of the platform, the latter may be supported over its area by vertically-extending telescopic ~units, whlch arè 1nterconnected so as to be lensthened or cont`racted relati~ely-to one another, as appropriate, to move the platform to a required angle o tilt, said units heing electrically, hydraulically or pneumatically controlled via appropriate control means.
Alternatively, to effect said tilting, the platform may :be -mounted: centrally on a universal joint providing X
and Y horizontal pivot axes, and, at least one telescopic unit may be provided for each axis, which units are arranged to act in concert with each other to cause the platform to SlJE351-lTUTE SHEE~T

According to an advantageous feature of the invention, the ball playing area on the base is provided with a surface which can be changed as desired by the gol~er to represent differen~ course conditions, such as a fairw~y, semi-roush and rough, where artificial ~rass would be used, and perhaps sand.
According to a further advantageous feature of this inven~ion, the training ald/simulator may be linked viâ a suitable Computer/CPU interface to a Computer loaded wit,. a software prosram providing data of a "golf course", whe.e~y the user can simulate and practise a "round of golf". In this case, as already known in the art, an electronic sensing arrangement would be provided in the base to pick up the speed and direction of the club head on impact with a ball so as to determine the landing position of the ball on the "course".
In order that the invention may be rezdily understood, and further features made apparent, one ~ 20 embodiment of a`golf training aid will now be described, ; with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which, Figure 1 is an overà1 persp~ctive view of the golf training aid, ;
