     This  Amendment  No. 1 to Schedule 13D amends Items 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 in the
following respects.

ITEM 3.     SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

     On January 6, 1998, Golf Training Systems, Inc. (the "Company") completed a
private placement of senior secured debt with a 10 percent,  six-month,  secured
bridge loan under a  $1,000,000  credit  facility  and  financing  plan with Mr.
Laeri. In connection  with the private  placement of debt, Mr. Laeri received an
immediately  exercisable  Warrant to purchase One Million  (1,000,000) shares of
Common Stock at the purchase price of Twenty-Five  Cents ($0.25) per share.  Mr.
Laeri purchased the senior secured debt with his personal funds.

ITEM 4.     PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

     Through the date hereof,  Mr. Laeri has purchased a total of 205,500 shares
of Common  Stock in market  transactions  through his  self-directed  individual
retirement account.  As previously  disclosed on his Schedule 13D dated June 21,
1997,  Mr.  Laeri  considers  his  beneficial  ownership  of Common  Stock as an
investment which he will continue to evaluate.

     In part as a result of his market  purchases of Common Stock, Mr. Laeri has
determined to purchase the  Company's  senior  secured debt as described  below.
From time to time,  Mr. Laeri may acquire  additional  shares of Common Stock or
other equity  securities of Golf  Training  Systems or dispose of some or all of
the securities which he beneficially owns.

     Upon  approval  by the  shareholders  of the  Company of an increase in the
authorized  Common Stock,  which approval will be sought at a Special Meeting of
the  shareholders  of the Company to be held in early 1998,  it is expected that
the debt  purchased by Mr. Laeri will be exchanged  for a Five Hundred  Thousand
Dollar  ($500,000)  senior  secured five year loan to the Company from Mr. Laeri
that is convertible into shares of the Company's Series D Convertible  Preferred
Stock,  by the issuance by the Company to Mr. Laeri of Fifty  Thousand  (50,000)
shares of the  Company's  Series C Convertible  Preferred  Stock for Ten Dollars
($10.00) per share and by the  Company's  issuance of a Five Year Warrant to Mr.
Laeri giving the Mr. Laeri the right to purchase Four Million (4,000,000) shares
of Common  Stock for One  Million  Dollars  ($1,000,000).  Each of the series of
Preferred Stock would be convertible into Common Stock at $0.30 per share.  This
exchange  of debt would  result in Mr.  Laeri  obtaining  voting  control of the
Company.

     Mr.  Laeri  is not a  director  or  officer  of the  Company  and  does not
participate in the management of the Company.

     Other  than as stated  above,  Mr.  Laeri has no plans or  proposals  which
relate to or would result in:


<PAGE>

     (a)  The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Company,
          or the disposition of securities of the Company;

     (b)  An   extraordinary   corporate   transaction,   such   as  a   merger,
          reorganization  or  liquidation,  involving  the Company or any of its
          subsidiaries;

     (c)  A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or of
          any of its subsidiaries;

     (d)  Any change in the present  board of  directors  or  management  of the
          Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term
          of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;

     (e)  Any material change in the present  capitalization  or dividend policy
          of the Company;

     (f)  Any other  material  change in the  Company's  business  or  corporate
          structure;

     (g)  Changes in the Company's charter, bylaws or instruments  corresponding
          thereto or other actions which may impede the  acquisition  of control
          of the Company by any person;

     (h)  Causing a class of  securities  of the Company to be  delisted  from a
          national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted
          in  an  inter-dealer   quotation  system  of  a  registered   national
          securities association;

     (i)  A class of equity  securities  of the Company  becoming  eligible  for
          termination  of  registration  pursuant  to  Section  12(g)(4)  of the
          Securities Act of 1934; or

     (j)  Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

ITEM 5.     INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUER.

     (a)  Mr. Laeri is the beneficial  owner of 1,265,500 shares of Common Stock
          which constitutes 25.6% of the outstanding Common Stock.

     (b)  Mr. Laeri has the sole power to vote and dispose of the Common Stock.

     (c)  See Item 3. In September  1997, Mr. Laeri  purchased two shares of the
          Company's  Series B Preferred  Stock.  In January  1998,  the Series B
          Preferred  Stock was exchanged for two shares of the Company's  Series
          B-1 Preferred  Stock.  The two shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock is
          convertible into 60,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment.


<PAGE>


     (d)  None.

     (e)  Not applicable.

ITEM 6.     CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
            RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     If shareholder  approval is received and the debt purchased by Mr. Laeri is
exchanged as discussed  in Item 4, Mr. Laeri will obtain  voting  control of the
Company.

ITEM 7.     MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

     1.   Power of Attorney  (previously  filed with Schedule 13D dated June 21,
          1997).

               (a)  Subject  to   subsection   (b)  of  this   Section  2,  upon

for another  Warrant  Certificate or Warrant  Certificates  of like tenor in the
name of such  Holder or its  assignee  or  transferee  exercisable  for the same
aggregate  number of Shares as the Warrant  Certificate or Warrant  Certificates
surrendered.

        4.     RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF WARRANT HOLDER.

               (a) The Holder of this Warrant  Certificate  shall not, by virtue
          hereof, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Corporation,
          either at law or in equity;  provided,  however, in the event that any
          certificate  representing  the Shares is issued to the  Holder  hereof
          upon exercise of this Warrant, such Holder shall, for all purposes, be
          deemed to have  become the holder of record of such Shares on the date
          on which  this  Warrant  Certificate,  together  with a duly  executed
          purchase form, was  surrendered  and payment of the Exercise Price was
          made,  irrespective of the date of delivery of such Share certificate.
          The  rights  of the  Holder  of this  Warrant  are  limited  to  those
          expressed  herein and the Holder of this  Warrant,  by its  acceptance
          hereof,  consents  to and agrees to be bound by and to comply with all
          the provisions of this Warrant Certificate. In addition, the Holder of
          this  Warrant  Certificate,  by  accepting  the same,  agrees that the
          Corporation  may deem and treat the person in whose name this  Warrant
          Certificate is registered on the books of the  Corporation  maintained
          for such  purpose  as the  absolute,  true and  lawful  owner  for all
          purposes whatsoever.

               (b) The Holder of this Warrant Certificate, as such, shall not be
          entitled  to vote or receive  dividends  or to be deemed the holder of
          Shares for any purpose,  nor shall anything  contained in this Warrant
          Certificate  be  construed  to confer upon the Holder of this  Warrant
          Certificate,  as  such,  any of the  rights  of a  shareholder  of the
          Corporation  including  but not limited to any right to vote,  give or
          withhold  consent to any action by the  Corporation,  whether upon any
          recapitalization,   issue  of   stock,   reclassification   of  stock,
          consolidation,   merger,  share  exchange,  conveyance  or  otherwise,
          receive  notice of meetings  or other  action  affecting  shareholders
          (except for the notices provided for herein), or receive  subscription
          rights,  until this Warrant  shall have been  exercised and the Shares
          purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become  deliverable as
          provided herein.

        5. SHARES UNDERLYING WARRANT. The Corporation  covenants and agrees that
all Shares  delivered  upon  exercise of this Warrant  shall,  upon delivery and
payment  therefor,  be duly and validly  authorized  and issued,  fully paid and
nonassessable, and free from all liens, encumbrances and charges with respect to
the purchase thereof.

        6.  DISPOSITION  OF  WARRANTS  OR  SHARES.  The  Holder of this  Warrant
Certificate  and any  transferee  hereof  or of the  Shares  issuable  upon  the
exercise  of this  Warrant,  by  their  acceptance  hereof  or  thereof,  hereby


                                             2

<PAGE>




understand  and agree  that  this  Warrant,  and the  Shares  issuable  upon the
exercise  hereof,  have not been  registered  under either the Securities Act of
1933 (the "1933 ACT") or applicable state securities laws (the "STATE ACTS") and
shall not be sold,  pledged,  hypothecated,  donated  or  otherwise  transferred
(whether or not for  consideration)  except upon the issuance to the Corporation
of a  favorable  opinion of counsel or  submission  to the  Corporation  of such
evidence as may be reasonably  satisfactory  to counsel to the  Corporation,  in
each such case, to the effect that any such  transfer  shall not be in violation
of the Act and the State Acts.  It shall be a condition  to the transfer of this
Warrant  that any  transferee  hereof  deliver to the  Corporation  its  written
agreement  to accept  and be bound by all of the terms  and  conditions  of this
Warrant Certificate.

        7.  ADJUSTMENTS.  The Exercise  Price as  hereinabove  provided shall be
subject to adjustments as follows:

               (a) In case  the  Corporation  shall  (a) pay a  dividend  on its
          Common  Stock  in  shares  of its  Common  Stock,  (b)  subdivide  its
          outstanding  shares of Common  Stock into a greater  number of shares,
          (c)  combine  its  outstanding  shares of Common  Stock  into a lesser
          number of shares,  or (d) issue by  reclassification  of its shares of
          Common  Stock any shares of its  capital  stock,  the number of Shares
          purchasable  upon the exercise of this  Warrant in effect  immediately
          prior thereto,  shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled
          to receive,  upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of Shares which
          such Holder  would have owned or have been  entitled to receive  after
          the  happening  of such event had such Holder  exercised  this Warrant
          immediately  prior to the record date in the case of such  dividend or
          the effective date in the case of any such subdivision, combination or
          reclassification.  An adjustment  made pursuant to this subsection (a)
          shall be made whenever any such events shall happen,  but shall become
          effective retroactively after such record date or such effective date,
          as the case may be, as to portion of this  Warrant  exercised  between
          such record date or  effective  date and the date of  happening of any
          such event.

               (b) In case the Corporation shall (a) issue rights or warrants to
          all holders of the Common Stock  entitling  them to  subscribe  for or
          purchase  shares  of Common  Stock at a price per Share  less than the
          Exercise  Price as in effect  from time to time,  or (b) issue or sell
          any shares of Common  Stock (or be deemed to have issued any shares of
          Common Stock as provided  herein  including,  without  limitation,  by
          issuance of securities  convertible  into or  exchangeable  for Common
          Stock), without consideration or for consideration per Share less than
          the Exercise  Price,  then in each case the  Exercise  Price in effect
          immediately  prior to such issuance  automatically and forthwith shall
          be adjusted or readjusted (to the nearest cent) as follows:

                    (i) The Exercise Price shall be automatically lowered to the
               price  per  Share  which is less  than the  Exercise  Price  (the
               "Adjusted  Exercise Price") for that number of Shares purchasable
               upon  exercise  of this  Warrant  which  shall be  calculated  by
               multiplying (i) the number of Shares of Common Stock  purchasable
               upon exercise of this Warrant  prior to the foregoing  adjustment
               to the Exercise Price by (ii) a fraction  whose  numerator is the
               lesser of (aa) the below described  denominator or (bb) the total
               number  of  Shares  sold or  deemed  to be  sold in a  subsequent
               transaction  and  whose  denominator  is  the  number  of  Shares
               originally purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant. The balance
               of the Shares  purchasable  upon  exercise of this Warrant  shall
               continue  subject to the  Exercise  Price in effect  prior to the
               foregoing adjustment to the Exercise Price.

                    (ii) In the event there is any  subsequent  event under this
               subsection (b) which triggers an adjustment to the Exercise Price
               as provided  herein,  the  adjustment to the Exercise Price shall
               first  affect  those  Shares  purchasable  upon  exercise of this
               Warrant which have not been subject to  adjustment  hereunder and
               any adjustment(s) thereafter shall first affect those Shares with
               the highest Adjusted Exercise Price.

               (c) For the purpose of any  adjustment of the number of shares of
          Common Stock  purchasable  upon  exercise of this Warrant  pursuant to
          this Section 7, the following provisions shall be applicable:

                    (i) In the case of the  issuance  of Common  Stock for cash,
               the consideration  received upon such issuance shall be deemed to
               be the gross amount of cash paid therefor.

                    (ii) In the  case of the  issuance  of  Common  Stock  for a
               consideration   in  whole  or  in  part  other  than  cash,   the
               consideration  received upon such issuance  other than cash shall
               be deemed to be the fair market value thereof.

                    (iii) In the case of the  issuance of Common  Stock  without
               consideration,  the  consideration  received  upon such  issuance
               shall be deemed to be $0.01 per share.

                    (iv) In the case of the  issuance of (I) options to purchase
               or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, (II) securities by their
               terms  convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or (III)
               options to purchase or rights to subscribe  for such  convertible
               or exchangeable securities:

                         (1) the  aggregate  maximum  number of shares of Common
                    Stock  deliverable  upon the  exercise  of such  options  to
                    purchase or rights to  subscribe  for Common  Stock shall be
                    deemed to have  been  issued  at the time  such  options  or
                    rights  were  issued  and for a  consideration  equal to the
                    consideration,  if any, received by the Corporation upon the
                    issuance of such options or rights plus the minimum purchase
                    price  provided  in such  options  or rights  for the Common
                    Stock covered thereby; and

                         (2) the  aggregate  maximum  number of shares of Common
                    Stock  deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for any
                    such  convertible  or  exchangeable  securities  or upon the
                    exercise of options to purchase or rights to  subscribe  for
                    such  convertible or exchangeable  securities and subsequent
                    conversion or exchange  thereof shall be deemed to have been
                    issued  at the time  such  securities  were  issued  or such
                    options or rights were issued and for a consideration  equal
                    to the  consideration,  if any,  received by the Corporation
                    


<PAGE>




                    for any  such  securities  and  related  options  or  rights
                    (excluding any cash received on account of accrued  interest
                    or accrued dividends), plus the additional consideration, if
                    any, to be received by the  Corporation  upon the conversion
                    or  exchange  of  such  securities  or the  exercise  of any
                    related options or rights.

                         (d) All adjustments  under this Section 7 shall be made
                    to the nearest cent.

                         (e) No adjustment  of the Exercise  Price shall be made
                    in any of the following cases:

                            (i)  upon the grant or  exercise  of  stock  options
                          hereafter  granted,  or upon the  issuance  of  shares
                          upon exercise of rights to purchase  shares  under any
                          employee, officer,  or director stock option plans now
                          or  hereafter  authorized,  to  the  extent  that  the
                          aggregate  of  the  number  of  shares  which  may  be
                          purchased  under  such  option  plans  is less than or
                          equal to 15  percent of the number of shares of Common
                          Stock  outstanding  on  January 1  of  the year of the
                          grant;

                            (ii)    shares  of  Common  Stock  issued  upon  the
                          conversion of any  presently  outstanding  convertible
                          security  of  the  Corporation  or  the  Corporation's
                          Series  D  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  or  Series C
                          Convertible Preferred Stock;

                            (iii)  shares  issued  by  way  of dividend or other
                          distribution  on  Common  Stock  excluded  from  the  
                          calculation of the adjustment under this  subparagraph
                          (D) or on Common Stock resulting from any  subdivision
                          or combination of Common Stock so excluded; or

                             (iv)   shares issued pursuant to the Warrant or any
                          stock  option  or  warrant  outstanding on the date of
                          filing  of  this  instrument  in  the  office  of  the
                          Secretary of  State  in accordance with the provisions
                          of  the  General Corporation Law of Delaware or a five
                          year warrant issued to the designee of John H. Laeri, 
                          Jr. to acquire 4,000,000  shares  of the Corporation's
                          Common Stock.

                         (f) Whenever  the Exercise  Price is adjusted as herein
                    provided, the Corporation shall prepare a certificate signed
                    by the chief financial  officer of the  Corporation  setting
                    forth the Adjusted  Exercise Price and showing in reasonable
                    detail the facts upon which  such  adjustment  is based.  As
                    promptly as practicable,  the Corporation shall cause a copy
                    of the certificate  referred to in this subsection (f) to be
                    mailed to the Holder.

        8.  TAXES.  The  Corporation  shall pay all taxes that may be payable in
respect of the issue or  delivery of Common  Stock on exercise of this  Warrant,
but shall  not pay any tax  which may be  payable  in  respect  of any  transfer
involved in the issue and delivery of the Common Stock in a name other than that
in which this  Warrant was  registered,  and no such issue or delivery  shall be
made  unless  and  until  the  person  requesting  such  issue  has  paid to the
Corporation the amount of any such tax, or has established,  to the satisfaction
of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.


<PAGE>




        9.  FRACTIONAL  SHARES.  No  fractional  shares  or  scrip  representing
fractional  shares  shall be issued upon the  exercise of this  Warrant.  If the
exercise of this Warrant results in a fraction, an amount equal to such fraction
multiplied by the Exercise  Price of the Shares on the day of exercise  shall be
paid to the Holder in cash by the Corporation.

        10.    PRESERVATION OF HOLDER'S RIGHTS.

          (a) The  Corporation  covenants  and agrees that it shall at all times
     reserve  and  keep  available,  free  from  preemptive  rights,  out of its
     authorized  Common Stock,  solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise
     of this Warrant, the full number of shares of Common Stock then deliverable
     in the event and upon the  exercise of this  Warrant.  All shares of Common
     Stock which may be issued  upon  exercise  of this  Warrant  shall be fully
     paid.

          (b)  Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary  elsewhere  in  this
     Warrant,  the  Corporation  shall not, by amendment of its  Certificate  of
     Incorporation   or  through   any   reorganization,   transfer  of  assets,
     consolidation,  merger,  dissolution,  issue or sale of  securities  or any
     other voluntary action avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance
     of any of the terms of this  Warrant,  but will at all times in good  faith
     assist in the  carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such
     action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of
     the  holder  of  this  Warrant  against  dilution.   Without  limiting  the
     generality of the foregoing,  the Corporation (i) will not increase the par
     value of any shares of stock  receivable  on the  exercise of this  Warrant
     above the amount payable therefor on such exercise, (ii) will take all such
     action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Corporation may
     validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable  shares of stock on
     the exercise of this Warrant from time to time outstanding,  (iii) will not
     issue any capital  stock of any class which is preferred as to dividends or
     as to the distribution of assets upon voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
     liquidation  or winding up, unless the rights of the holders  thereof shall
     be  limited  to a fixed  sum or  percentage  of par  value  in  respect  of
     participation in dividends and in any such distribution of assets, and (iv)
     will not transfer all or substantially  all of its properties and assets to
     any other entity to consolidate  with or merge into the Corporation (if the
     Corporation  is not the surviving  entity),  unless such other entity shall
     expressly  assume  in  writing  and will be bound by all the  terms of this
     Warrant.

          (c) In case of any  consolidation of the Corporation with or merger of
     the Corporation into another  corporation or in case of any sale,  transfer
     or lease to another corporation of all or substantially all the property of
     the   Corporation,   the   Corporation  or  such  successor  or  purchasing
     corporation, as the case may be, shall execute an instrument providing that
     each holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter upon payment of
     the Exercise Price in effect  immediately  prior to such action to purchase
     upon  exercise  of each  Warrant  the kind and  amount of shares  and other
     securities  and property which he would have owned or have been entitled to
     receive after the happening of such consolidation,  merger,  sale, transfer
     or lease had such warrant been exercised  immediately prior to such action;
     provided, however, that no adjustment in respect of dividends,  interest or
     other income on or from such shares or other  securities and property shall
     be made during the term of a Warrant or upon the exercise of a Warrant. The
     Corporation shall mail by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each holder


<PAGE>




     of this  Warrant,  notice  of the  execution  of any such  agreement.  Such
     agreement  shall  provide  for  adjustments,   which  shall  be  as  nearly
     equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in Section
     7. The  provisions of this Section 10 shall  similarly  apply to successive
     consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or leases.

        11. LOSS OR  DESTRUCTION.  Upon receipt of evidence  satisfactory to the
Corporation  of the loss,  theft,  destruction  or  mutilation  of this  Warrant
Certificate  and,  in the case of any such  loss,  theft  or  destruction,  upon
delivery of an indemnity  agreement or bond satisfactory in form,  substance and
amount to the Corporation or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender
and  cancellation  of this Warrant  Certificate,  the Corporation at its expense
will execute and deliver,  in lieu thereof,  a new Warrant  Certificate  of like
tenor.

        12.  SURVIVAL/PERMITTED  ASSIGNS.  The various rights and obligations of
the Holder hereof as set forth herein shall survive the exercise of this Warrant
at any time or from time to time and the surrender of this Warrant  Certificate.
The  permitted  assigns of John H.  Laeri,  Jr.  shall  consist  of any  entity,
corporation, partnership or limited liability company controlled by John H.
Laeri, Jr.

        13. NOTICES. Whenever any notice, payment of any purchase price or other
communication  is  required  to be given or  delivered  under  the terms of this
Warrant,  it shall be in writing and delivered by hand delivery or registered or
certified United States mail,  postage prepaid,  and will be deemed to have been
given  or  delivered  on  the  date  such  notice,   purchase   price  or  other
communication is so delivered, and, if to the Corporation,  it will be addressed
to the address  specified in Section 2(a) hereof,  and if to the Holder, it will
be addressed to the registered  Holder at his address as it appears on the books
of the Corporation.
