Claims22
A method of extending the useful life of golf course equipment comprising:
- (a) contacting at least a portion of golf course equipment with a heat shrinkable material;
- (b) applying an effective amount of heat to said heat shrinkable material to shrink the heat shrinkable material onto the equipment while maintaining the integrity of the equipment.
Golf course equipment comprising a heat shrinkable material surrounding at least a portion of the equipment, wherein said heat shrinkable material has been exposed to an effective amount of heat to shrink the heat shrinkable material onto the equipment.
A method of extending the useful life of golf course equipment comprising:
- (a) inserting at least a portion of golf course equipment into a tubing comprising a PVC-based heat shrinkable material which provides protection against UV light;
- (b) exposing the heat shrinkable material to a heat source which causes the temperature of the heat shrinkable material to reach about 90° C. to about 110° C. to shrink the heat shrinkable material onto the equipment while maintaining the integrity of the equipment.
