Patent ID: 7104900

Claim:
A golf swing analyzing device, comprising: a tee mat, said mat having an embedded pressure sensing means located in one corner of said mat, said embedded sensing means occupying no more than one-fourth of the topographical area of said mat, said mat further having first and second boundary lines marking the area below where said embedded sensing means is located, said first boundary line indicating the side of said embedded sensing means where a golfer stands, and said second boundary line indicating the front end of said embedded sensing means; traction backing attached to the bottom side of said mat, thereby preventing said mat from slipping on the underlying surface; an artificial turf surface attached to the top side of said tee mat; a golf tee removably mounted to said mat by attaching means, said tee located just to the outside of said second front boundary line, said tee extending above said artificial turf surface; a golf ball placed on said golf tee; and an electronic control box coupled to the output of said pressure sensing means, said electronic control box obtaining power by means of a power cord attached to a 110-volt outlet, said control box further comprising a timer circuit coupled to an audible alarm means for audibly signaling when a golf club head strikes the mat surface behind the ball prior to contacting the ball, thereby indicating a poor golf swing.
