A golf swing training apparatus for practicing a golf swing. In one
embodiment, the training apparatus includes a sensor unit including a
sensor outputting a sensor beam in a substantially horizontal direction,
the sensor unit further including a microcontroller in operable
communication with the sensor, the microcontroller configured to detect a
break in the sensor beam, the sensor unit further including one or more
visual indicators, wherein the one or more visual indicators are in
operable communication with the microcontroller, and wherein the one or
more visual indicators are activated in response to the break in the
sensor beam; and a frame coupled to the sensor unit, the frame including
a reflector configured to reflect the sensor beam. In another embodiment,
a section of the frame may be moved between a first position used to
practice driving and a second position used to practice pitching and
chipping.
