Abstract:
1. A golf stance guide for placement on a mat or ground, the guide comprising: an elongated first marker for placement on an imaginary target line near a golfer's feet; an elongated second marker for pointing at a golf ball on the mat or ground; an intersection member holding said first and second markers perpendicular to each other in a golf-practice configuration; wherein said first marker is hollow and has an interior space, said second marker is removable from the intersection member and slidable into the interior space to be generally coaxial with and contained substantially inside the first marker for storage; wherein said intersection member comprises a top, a bottom, and a sidewall surrounding and defining an interior bore through said intersection member from said top to said bottom so that said top and bottom of said intersection member are open, the sidewall having a first set of apertures that slidably receive the first marker, and having a second set of apertures, 90 degrees to said first set, that slidably receive the second marker, so that, in said golf-practice configuration, said first marker and said second marker pass through said first set of apertures and said second set of apertures, respectively, and cross at 90 degrees to each other in said interior bore so that both said first marker and said second marker are visible where they cross from above and below the golf stance guide.
