US 9,750,333 B1 · Belt clip for a golf club

Abstract

A wearable belt clip includes a keeper which receives a golf club and is removably attachable to the golfer's belt. The keeper positions the shaft of the golf club so it does not impede the golfer's movements, such as swinging a club or walking. The belt clip allows the golfer to conveniently carry a second golf club without the concern of misplacing it during play. In an embodiment, a keeper channel positions the club head above the keeper with the shaft extending below the keeper. In front view, the keeper channel is substantially parallel to the belt clip longitudinal axis, so that the golf club is held in a substantially vertical orientation. In side view, the keeper channel is angled with respect to the belt channel, so that the head of the golf club is angled away from the wearer, for improved comfort and maneuverability.
