Securing Systems for Gloves or Other Objects

Golf equipment, comprising:

• a golf equipment base component;
• a base member including an outer perimeter, wherein the base member is engaged with the golf equipment base component;
• a mount area defining a first base surface located at or within the outer perimeter of the base member, wherein the mount area includes at least one feature selected from the group consisting of:
• (a) the mount area defines a first receptacle for receiving a magnet or a ferromagnetic material, (b) the mount area is at least partially made from a magnet, and (c) the mount area is at least partially made from a ferromagnetic material;
• at least two retaining walls extending from the mount area above the first base surface and located at or within the outer perimeter of the base member, wherein interior surfaces of the retaining walls and the first base surface define a golf ball marker receptacle;
• a golf ball marker removably receivable in the golf ball marker receptacle, wherein the golf ball marker has an outer perimeter, wherein a combined total perimeter length of the interior surfaces of the retaining walls extends less than 50% of the outer perimeter of the golf ball marker, wherein the first base surface includes a planar portion that extends less than an entire interior area of the golf ball marker receptacle such that the planar portion does not extend to at least some portion of an outer edge of the golf ball marker receptacle, and wherein the golf ball marker is removably securable to the mount area by magnetic forces.

A housing for holding a golf ball marker, comprising:

• a base member including an outer perimeter;
• a mount area defining a first base surface located at or within the outer perimeter of the base member, wherein the mount area includes at least one feature selected from the group consisting of:
• (a) the mount area defines a first receptacle for receiving a magnet or a ferromagnetic material, (b) the mount area is at least partially made from a magnet, and (c) the mount area is at least partially made from a ferromagnetic material;
• and
• at least two retaining walls extending from the mount area above the first base surface and located at or within the outer perimeter of the base member, wherein interior surfaces of the retaining walls and the first base surface define a golf ball marker receptacle having an inner perimeter for receiving a golf ball marker to be held in a releasable manner by magnetic force, wherein a combined total perimeter length of the interior surfaces of the retaining walls around the inner perimeter is less than 50% of a total length of the inner perimeter, and wherein the first base surface includes a planar portion that extends less than an entire interior area of the inner perimeter such that the planar portion does not extend to at least some portion of the inner perimeter.

A golf ball marker assembly, comprising:

• a base member including an outer perimeter;
• a mount area defining a first base surface located at or within the outer perimeter of the base member, wherein the mount area includes at least one feature selected from the group consisting of:
• (a) the mount area defines a first receptacle for receiving a magnet or a ferromagnetic material, (b) the mount area is at least partially made from a magnet, and (c) the mount area is at least partially made from a ferromagnetic material;
• at least two retaining walls extending from the mount area above the first base surface and located at or within the outer perimeter of the base member, wherein interior surfaces of the retaining walls and the first base surface define a golf ball marker receptacle;
• a golf ball marker removably receivable in the golf ball marker receptacle, wherein the golf ball marker has an outer perimeter, wherein a combined total perimeter length of the interior surfaces of the retaining walls extends less than 50% of the outer perimeter of the golf ball marker, wherein the first base surface includes a planar portion that extends less than an entire interior area of the golf ball marker receptacle such that the planar portion does not extend to at least some portion of an outer edge of the golf ball marker receptacle, and wherein the golf ball marker is removably securable to the mount area by magnetic forces.
