My mat with it's essential lines and images can be used to set up and swing according to the fundamental alignment principles of golf.

Claims (2)

1) I claim that this invention relates to the body stance alignment and the clubhead path of a golf swing.

2) I claim that previously alignment and swings in golf were developed purely through the mind with help from teachers to develop the discipline. Human error im memory have made the transition from practice tee to the golf course the cause for many misaligned shots. Previously a beginner has only books and teachers to show the way to golf. With my invention a beginner or novice golfer can learn and imprint on memory through repeated use the fundamental alignment and swing principles for good and sound golfing.
