According to this invention, a golf strap comprised of a flexible soft material with a visual alignment indicator and fastener is provided with a raised flexible bar across the palm portion, which aligns the golf club for proper gripping. The golf strap is worn around a golfer's hand, and the visual alignment indicator directs the golfer in proper golf strap placement before affixing the fastener to secure the golf strap. The flexible bar is so positioned across the palm portion of the golf strap that, when the golf club grip is held, the gripping hand of a golfer wearing the golf strap receives the grip portion of the club shaft across the palm of the golf strap and against the flexible bar. The flexible bar positions the club shaft to lie diagonally across the roots of the fingers. When the hand is closed around the golf club, with the flexible bar cradling the grip portion of the golf club, an automatic proper gripping of the golf club will be ensured.
