Definitions

  • the invention relates to golf ball markers.
  • the invention relates more particularly to conventional golf ball markers that comprise a thin circular disc head and an integral spike that penetrates into the ground to hold the head in position in use.
  • markers have a head that is about the size of a small coin and the markers are easily lost or misplaced, especially when carried in a golfers pocket amongst tees, divot repairing trowels and the like.
  • One practical result is that golfers therefore often fail to mark their balls properly, or with proper markers, leading to bad discipline and frustration for other golfers when putting their balls across the green, especially near the hole.
  • a common solution is to carry the marker on a remote end of a putter handle with the spike held in an aperture where provided in the putter for other purposes (such as inner ventilation of the putter handle for example).
  • a golf ball marker carrier for a marker having a thin circular head and an integrally formed spike for locating to marker in the ground with the head flush with the ground, in which the carrier is formed with a slot to slidingly receive and hold at least one side of the head of the marker securely to the carrier, and a space open at one side arranged to allow the spike to move unhindered relative to the housing as the side of the head moves into the slot.
  • the space may comprise a second slot formed in at one side of the said slot.
  • the carrier may be mounted to a removable waist-belt attachment or permanently attached to a waist-belt.
  • the carrier may be part of an outer surface of a tee-holder or a golf ball pouch.
  • the carrier is formed at a remote end of a golf club handle or a golf club grip.
  • the carrier may be made wholly of plastic material or textile fabric material or natural leather material.
  • the carrier has rear wall 10 and a patch 11 fixed to the rear wall.
  • a first slot 12 is formed between the patch and the rear wall to receive and hold a head 13 of a golf ball marker.
  • An integrally formed spike 14 of the marker rests against a lower end of a second slot 15.
  • the second slot provides a space to allow the spike to move downwards to the position shown in the Figures when a side of the head 13 is entered into the slot 12 and pushed down and slid between the rear wall and the patch 11.
  • the marker In the position shown in Figures 1 and 2, the marker is held firmly in position in the carrier and yet the marker is readily and easily gripped and removed when required for use. While the remote end of the spike is somewhat proud of the outer surface of the patch, the remote end does not normally hinder or interfere with the golfer during his other normal activities when playing golf.
  • the carrier may be conveniently fixed or otherwise attached to articles commonly worn or carried by golfers, as described below and shown in the Figures.
  • the patch 11 in Figures 1 and 2 may be longer and formed with a longer second slot so that two or more markers may be fitted together in a single carrier, one above the other. Also two or more patches may be provide on a single rear wall, each for carrying one or more markers, and the patches normally arranged side by side, to provide overall carrying space for a number of markers.
  • the carrier is generally the same as shown in Figures 1 and 2, except that the carrier is arranged to grip only one side of the head 13 and the spike 14 rests against an upper edge of the slot 12. In that case the carrier is arranged so that there is, in effect, 'free space' to allow the spike to move towards the slot 12 and no second slot 15 is required in the patch 11.
  • the wall 10 of the carrier is provided with a waist belt attachment 16 that can be slid onto a belt as required.
  • the wall 10 extends either side of a golf marker support and provided with further patches 17 and 18 to retain and hold a divot repairing trowel 19 and a golf tee 20, respectively.
  • a carrier is mounted or formed on an end of a golf club grip 22.
  • a 'patch' 23 is in the form of a spring clip.
  • the spring clip 23 may be made wholy of metal or comprise a resilient metal strip covered with plastics or textile material, for example.
  • Figures 10 to 13 show ball markers having twisted spikes that improve their insertion and location into the ground in normal use and that can fit into the carrier described above.
