Abstract
This club rack (“RACK”) is designed for use primarily by golfers who have limited shoulder motion and have difficulty in lifting golf clubs out of a golf bag. It is designed to minimize the motion required to use a golf club AND to easily be used with a golf bag mounted on a motorized golf cart. The RACK is a single piece non-metallic assembly consisting of a vertical bracket and two horizontal shelves and designed to hold up to 8 clubs. Once the golf bag is placed on the cart, the rack is placed in front of the bag so that the bottom portion of the vertical bracket extends beneath the front lip of the bag well of the cart. The golf bag and RACK are then both secured to the cart using the strap that is part of the cart.
