1. An arm position monitor comprising:
a magnetically attractive object;
a first arm coupler connected to said magnetically attractive object and adapted to connect said magnetically attractive object to an arm of a user;
a magnet having a magnetic attraction force;
a second arm coupler connected to said magnet and adapted to connect said magnet to the same arm of the user as said magnetically attractive object or to the other arm of the user, wherein said magnet is adapted to releasably attach to said magnetically attractive object when said magnet and said magnetically attractive object are positioned adjacent to one another as a consequence of said magnetic attraction force, said magnet is adapted to remain attached to said magnetically attractive object during a golf swing as long as the arms of the user are maintained in an optimal arm position, and said magnet is adapted to detach from said magnetically attractive object when a detachment force greater than said magnetic attraction force is applied to said magnet or said magnetically attractive object in a direction away from said magnetic attraction force as a consequence of the user substantially deviating from the optimal arm position; and
a magnet-coupler connector extending a connector length between said magnet and said second arm coupler, thereby providing a connection between said magnet and said second arm coupler;
wherein said magnet-coupler connector is substantially rigid and said second arm coupler is a clip adapted to attach to a golf glove worn on the hand of the same arm that is connected to said magnetically attractive object, thereby connecting said magnet to the same arm as said magnetically attractive object.
