Abstract
A novel dual purpose golf club head cover that not only serves to protect a club head from rusting, and becoming scratched or chipped, but also provides an ample skirt of absorptive material that the golfer can use for wiping his ball, club or hands. This invention finds particular application in connection with putters, for when on the green and his ball is in need of cleaning, the golfer can clean his ball as well as his putter without soiling his clothing, despite the fact that he is separated from the golf cart and the towel customarily found thereon.
