DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIGS. 1A and 1B are schematic diagrams illustrating a basic structure corresponding to the above-mentioned means in accordance with the transition of time.

That is, based on the above configuration, as shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b), each player has a start notice time of 2.0 to 3. A time interval of 0 seconds is set, and the time interval is divided into two equal parts (in the case of FIG. 1A) or three equal parts (FIG. 1A).
(B) In the case of selecting a predetermined time, and setting a time interval of 0.2 to 1.2 seconds for the top swing time, and selecting a predetermined time within the time interval. These predetermined times are selected according to the suitability and preference of each player.

Generally, beginners set these times longer, but in the case of advanced or professional players, these times are often set shorter.

The reason why the interval of the start notice time is set to 2.0 seconds or more is that if the interval is less than 2.0 seconds, the time until the next top swing is too short, and the player can sufficiently enjoy the game. It is because it is inappropriate as posture and psychological preparation for performing a proper top swing, and the time interval is set to 3.0 seconds or less, when the time interval exceeds 3.0 seconds, This is because the time until the next top swing is too long, which is inappropriate for performing the rhythm top swing.

The start notice time interval is 2.0 to 3.
Only at the start and end of the notice time of 0 second, the player cannot rhythmically prepare for reaching the address simply by generating an operation sound.
For this reason, in the present invention, the start notice time based on the time interval is divided into two equal parts or three equal parts.

According to the inventor's experience, it is often appropriate to set the interval of the normal start notice time to about 2.4 seconds and to divide it into three equal parts every 0.8 seconds.

The time interval of the top swing is 0.2-1.
The reason for setting 2 seconds is that such a time interval is appropriate for most players in order to perform the next downswing rhythmically.

The large time difference such as 0.2 to 1.2 seconds exists because the time interval of the top swing that is appropriate for each player varies and varies widely. It is derived from.

Therefore, it is important for each player to select and set an appropriate time for the time interval of the top swing according to his / her experience and proficiency.

FIG. 2 shows a typical configuration of the present invention,
That is, according to a time interval scheduled by a battery 11 serving as a power supply, a time switch circuit 12 for generating an ON signal at a predetermined time interval, and a voice generating circuit 13 for generating a voice based on an output from the time switch circuit 12. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the operation of the apparatus 1 according to the present invention. However, the configuration of the device 1 of the present invention is not limited to the configuration of each circuit as shown in FIG. As a specific example of the time switch circuit 12, at each time interval (for example, every 0.1 second), a pulse is sequentially generated at a different place, and a place corresponding to a time at which an operation sound is generated among the different places. Can be supposed to be a configuration in which the switch is turned ON to pass a signal and transmit the signal to the sound generation circuit 13.
However, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration.
When a microcomputer is used instead of the time switch circuit 12, it is possible to generate an electric signal with a predetermined time interval.

In order to enable the selection of a predetermined time interval for each player, the operation sound generating device 1 may be provided with a selection switch for selecting each time interval.

According to the present invention, the operation sound at the stage of terminating the top swing after the end of the address and the generation of the operation sound divided into two or three at the start notice stage are provided. , Letting each player experience each movement from gripping the golf club to the top swing rhythmically, and by doing so, the basic movements related to the swing are customarily performed along the time interval according to their suitability and preference It becomes possible to recognize.

When the device 1 of the present invention can be worn on the ear 3, it is not only convenient to carry, but also has the advantage that the output of the time switch circuit 12 and the output of the sound generation circuit 13 can be weak. Have.

FIG. 3 shows a specific configuration when the earpiece 3 is worn. In this case, the housing 21 containing the battery 11, the time switch circuit 12, and the sound generation circuit 13 and the housing 21 are connected to the ear holes. , And the presence of a support portion 22 that elastically supports the ear shell is indispensable.

Although the timbre and pitch of the operation sound of the present invention are not particularly limited, in order to specify the preparation and timing of each operation, it is essential that the operation sound be an intermittent sound of a predetermined length. .

Hereinafter, description will be made in accordance with embodiments.

[0024]

[Embodiment 1] When the top swing is completed,
The appropriate time interval as a downswing with an impact on the golf ball is the place where the downswing is performed,
It depends on the conditions.

For this reason, in the present invention, setting the time interval of the downswing is not an essential requirement.

However, there are cases where the player prefers to set a time interval of the downswing and perform an operation corresponding to the time interval. The first embodiment shows a configuration adapted to such a case. .

The downswing may be completed in about 0.2 seconds when the speed is fastest.
Even at the slowest, the limit is at most 1.5 seconds.

Therefore, when setting the time interval of the downswing according to the player's request, the time interval between 0.2 and
It is preferable to select an appropriate time interval within a range of 1.5 seconds and generate an operation sound at the time of finishing the downswing.

[0029]

Embodiment 2 As described above, the operation sound of the present invention needs to be an intermittent sound. If the intermittent sound is extremely short, it becomes difficult to listen.
Since the rhythmic movement is hindered, it is necessary to have an appropriate length.

According to the inventor's experience, the interval between the operation sound from the golf club gripping to the address and the operation sound divided into two equal parts or three equal parts is 0.3 second, and the intermittent sound reaching each address is 0.3 seconds. A length of 0.5 seconds is appropriate for rhythmic movements and preparation for the next top swing.

With the end of the top swing, the next step, the down swing, is started. The time interval from the end of the top swing to the start of the down swing is:
It differs depending on the conditions for playing golf and the taste and suitability of the player.

Therefore, there is no necessity to select an appropriate time interval for the length of the intermittent sound at the end stage of the top swing, reflecting such a situation.

[0033]

Third Embodiment In a case where a conventional timer device is attached to an ear 3, in most cases, as shown in FIG. A configuration of sandwiching is adopted.
