Abstract:
Apparatus for assisting a golfer in aligning a golf swing to a ball target includes an elastic strap removably connected to strap fasteners, one associated with a respective toe portion of each golfer's shoe. Shoe covers providing the strap fasteners need not cover the entire shoe, and instead may be partial shoe covers with toe portions and heel portions connected with elastic and/or adjustable side straps. The elastic strap, taunt when the golfer assumes a stance for swinging a club, is in alignment with a desired golf ball target. A sliding marker may be provided on the elastic strap to indicate ball position prior to a swing. The elastic strap is easily removable via connectors, such that after a shot, the golfer need only remove the strap and put it in a pocket, for example, until used again for a subsequent swing.

Claim (Index 4):
The golf swing alignment apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein:\n the right and left shoe covers include right and left heel covers; and each toe portion is connected to a respective one of the heel covers through side straps.
