Claim:
1. A golf swing alignment and swing-aiming device that is collapsible through the use of pivoting connections, so as to allow all components of the device to remain attached to one another at all times and carrying of the device in a folded arrangement in a golf bag and lay substantially flat when in use, the device comprising: a main member, the main member being generally linear and having a main member first end and a main member second end; an aim arm that is generally linear and has an aim arm first end and an aim arm second end; an aiming strip that is generally linear; and a ball positioning arm that is generally linear and of a length, the first end of the main member being pivotally connected to the first end of the aim arm, the aim arm second end being pivotally connected to the aiming strip, the ball positioning arm being pivotally supported from the main member at a location that is approximately mid-length of the ball positioning arm, allowing the user to position his feet at equal distances from the ball positioning arm, causing the user's head to be positioned directly in front of the ball; and angle graduations on the aim arm and on the aiming strip, the angle graduations being next to the pivotal connection between the aim arm and the main member and between the aim arm and the aiming strip, so that the aiming strip may be positioned at a desired angle to relative to the aim arm, and so that a parallel relationship between the aiming strip and the main member can be established when changing the angle of the aim arm and the main member; and so that the swing-aiming device may be collapsed to position the aim arm, aiming strip, main member, and ball positioning member next to one another in a parallel manner, so that the collapsed device may be transported in the golf bag when not in use.
