Golf club holder

A holder for detachably receiving and supporting a handle of a golf club regardless of the cross sectional shape of the handle, said holder comprising:

• an elongated vertical hollow first member having in horizontal cross section the shape of a U, the first member having an open upper end large enough to receive with small clearance the golf handle, the first member having a lower open end of somewhat larger concentric shape and being provided with a horizontal groove disposed somewhat above the lower end of the first member;
• a second vertically elongated flexible member having a vertically elongated main body with an upper end that curves outward and a lower end which terminates in a flat horizontal extension which engages the groove and is thus secured to and closes off the lower end of the first member, said main body having a spring function for detachably locking said handle in inverted position in said first member, the extension having a flat cylinder secured to its upper surface, the cylinder having an opening of selected cross sectional shape;
• and
• a vertical spike having in horizontal cross section of the same shape of said opening but of slightly smaller size, said spike extending downwardly through said opening, a lower end of the spike being pointed, an upper end of the spike terminating in a flat horizontal disc having a diameter larger than that of said cylinder.
