You can spend $50 on a store bought golf training aid, but Zedomax shows you how to make your own for about $5. There is also a video of the thing in action on his site.
“It’s getting near Christmas time and I needed to prepare some Christmas gifts for my parents. Since my Dad does not get much time on the golf course these days, I figured I could make a training aid he could use at home to keep his swing on path. Since I didn’t want to spend 50 bucks on the golf training aid, so I decided to make one real quick.”

Make the LEDs flash at a known rate and you’ll be able to calculate the speed and acceleration of the swing

Oh yeah, a 3V DL2032 batteries can work too, it’s just that the 9V lasts much longer.
The battery seems to be okay as long as you use a clamp with it.
