Golf club holder

A golf club holder comprising:

• an elongate tube of a resilient material;
• said tube having a roughly circular cross section;
• first and second ends oppositely and longitudinally disposed on said tube;
• said first end of said tube being open and adapted for insertion of a golf club handle and shaft;
• a pair of longitudinally extending folds disposed adjacent said second end and extending along a portion of said tube;
• said pair of longitudinally extending folds having a generally increasing depth, the deepest portion of said folds being disposed on said second end;
• said pair of longitudinally extending folds thereby gradually decreasing the cross-sectional area of said tube for resiliently gripping a golf club handle and detachably retaining the same within said tube;
• said second end being open to increase the resiliency of said tube;
• and
• said pair of longitudinally extending folds being roughly disposed in a longitudinal plane bisecting said tube, on opposite sides of said tube.

A golf club holder assembly comprising in combination:

• a plurality of elongate tubes of a resilient material;
• first and second ends oppositely and longitudinally disposed on each of said tubes;
• said first ends of said tubes being open and adapted for receiving a golf club handle and shaft;
• spring clip means disposed in each of said tubes and formed from each of said tubes for resiliently gripping a golf club handle and detachably retaining the same within each of said tubes;
• said spring clip means comprising at least one longitudinally extending fold disposed in each said tube for gradually reducing the cross-sectional area of said tube;
• first and second tube sheets for retaining said tubes in parallel array;
• and
• a rack disposed above said first ends of said tubes for separating a plurality of golf clubs retained in said tubes, whereby each of the clubs is completely isolated and retained within the assembly even when the assembly is held upside down.
