Abstract

A system for protecting a golf club is provided. The system includes a carrier having a first surface and a second surface disposed on an opposite side of the carrier than the first surface. The carrier is selectively movable between a constricted state wrapped around the at least one golf club and a relaxed state. The system also includes at least one sleeve depending from one of the first surface and the second surface and including a first opening disposed at a first end of the at least one sleeve that receives a head of the at least one golf club. The at least one sleeve may be surrounded by the carrier when the carrier is in the constricted state. A fastener may be supported by the carrier to selectively maintain the carrier in the constricted state.
