Abstract

A device (310) for assisting a golfer with his/her golfing technique by sensing the passage of the golf club and/or the impact of the club with the ball. The device generates a visible and/or audible signal, which may be random or of a predetermined duration. The signal attracts the attention of the golfer and maintains the attention on the device, thereby preventing premature head movement.
