An improved golf club retaining device holds the clubs in place within a generally circular frame, while avoiding any bending stress transverse to the length of the club handle. The central disc of the club frame carries a band or ring of resilient material, e.g. a large O-ring, in a groove around the periphery of the disc. In locations where the club shafts pass this disc, the disc periphery has scallop-like recesses leaving the band without rearward support in those locations. Transverse force against the club shafts is derived only from the tension in the band or O-ring, to hold clubs securely in the frame. The transverse force on the club shafts is insufficient to induce any deformation in those shafts. An integral multiple cup member is provided as the bottom member of the frame, and has outer walls about its periphery which are higher that their inner counterparts. Forces against the butt of a club shaft handle are distributed over a greater part of the handle end.
