Abstract:

This invention is a set of moisture-resistant golf club grip covers, where the golf club grip cover is removed in order to perform a golf stroke. A golfer can take several golf clubs to his or her golf ball, and lay the clubs on the ground without risk of getting the grips wet or dirty. Each golf club grip cover is a tapered fabric tube, closed at its smaller end. The closed end is sized to have a loose fit over the top (large end) of a golf club grip, and the open end is substantially larger than the closed end. The open end of each grip cover preferably has a stiffening member in order to urge it into an open condition, and has a snap or hook-and-loop fastener located about mid-width. After being placed over the grip, a grip cover is secured to the golf club simply by squeezing the open end flat until the snap or hook-and-loop fastener engages. The set of grip covers are also preferably made of a bright and distinctive color so the golfer will easily notice any grip-covered club that has been left on the ground.
