Abstract:

A golf club cover is comprised of a flexible cover member having a substantially cylindrical deformable body open at one end for receiving the head portion of a golf club and an essentially tubular member depending from the flexible cover member for receiving the shaft portion of the club. The tubular member is open at both ends and has a slot extending between the open ends. The shaft portion of the club is insertable into the tubular member by penetrating movement of the shaft portion through the slot in a direction generally transverse to a longitudinal axis of the shaft portion. The tubular member has flared first and second edge portions on respective opposite sides of the slot for urging the shaft portion through the slot. The tubular member has a predetermined resiliency such that first and second edge portions are laterally spreadable by the penetrating movement of the shaft portion through the slot.
