DEVICE AND METHOD FOR STORAGE OF A GOLF CLUB

摘要

A device and method for restraining the motion of a stored golf club. The golf club may be inserted shaft-first into a tube with a restraining element at the upper portion of the tube. The restraining element may be, for example, a flexible snap-in housing for the golf club head, or a flexible membrane which fits snugly around the golf club hosel in combination with a magnet for attachment to the golf club head. The magnet may be designed to swivel to conform to many different golf club head surface designs, formed to mitigate damage to the golf club head, and include a magnet release mechanism for ease of disengagement. Embodiments without the tube are also contemplated, as well as methods for engagement and disengagement of a golf club with the device.
