Golf grip washing device

Abstract

A golf grip cleaning device mounted on a support which is in turn mounted on a base. The base can be stationed at the tee box of the golf course or can be mounted on a golf car itself. For convenience and economics, the entire assembly can be made out of readily available PVC plumbing parts. The washer section includes a tube having a plug at the bottom end and a cap at the top end. The cap has an open mouth so that the golf club can be inserted into the tube. The tube is aligned vertically and has a series of brush rings stacked in the tube and spaced from each other by spacers inserted between each brush ring. The brush rings include bristles projecting radially inwardly toward the axial center of the tube with the brush tips terminating generally in a circular pattern. The diameter of the circular pattern of the brush tips is generally consistent throughout the length of the tube and at a diameter equal to or slightly larger than the maximum outside diameter of the grip of a standard golf club. The mouth at the top of the washer tube is several inches in diameter so that the club can be cleaned by agitating it in an up and down motion as well as sitting the butt of the club on the plug at the bottom of the tube and moving the club in a wobble motion so as to cause the grip to come into contact with the tips of the bristles in a substantially perpendicular relationship to the perimeter of the grip thereby facilitating the tips of the bristles in their cleaning action against the surface of the grip. The tube can be filled with a cleaning fluid to assist in the cleaning process.
