Combination foldable golf club carrier and score keeping device

A device designed to relieve the golfer of inconveniences caused by unnecessarily heavy and bulky conventional golfing equipment;

• said device, which is easy to carry around golf courses and convenient to handle when transporting to and from the golf course, having structure consisting primarily of two identical A-frame assemblies containing a vertex block at each end with a hole to receive and secure by fasteners an extended dowel end of a handle, each of said vertex blocks having tapered sides, the tapered sides of said vertex blocks slip into aluminum legs and each vertex block held accurately by one fastener on which each of said legs can be pivoted from a 13 degree open angle, to an inward 0 degree closed position where said legs would lie parallel to each other, each of said legs secured theron approximately four thin spring steel gripper clips which are equally spaced vertically and aligned so that a horizontal positioning of golf clubs can be easily achieved and also so that said golf clubs may be securely held within said clips;
• the device further including a narrow tray which is connected to the bottom surfaces of said vertex blocks and serving as a short-legged structural channel stiffener for the device, two pieces of soft plastic tubing, each of proper length to hold two golf balls and being secured to said tray, with each said pieces of tubing being split in a straight line along the top, the sides of each of the splits being overlapped, thus resulting in a slight diameter reduction and causing a contracting action in order to retain golf balls when inserted therin;
• each of said split pieces of tubing normally extending longitudinally along said tray and being secured to said tray by centrally located fasteners which permit the pieces of tubing to be rotated to facilitate golf ball insertion and removal without interference with the said handle or the golf clubs.
