Abstract

A golf club support comprises an upright with a u shaped slot 2 in the upper portion which receives the club and holds it in an upright position. The lower portion is formed into two prongs 3 which secure the support in the ground and may also be used to repair marks in the turf.

Description

24 1 2327 K-Pea This invention relates to a golf accessory, which will peg
a golf club to the ground, holding the club in an upright position.
While playing golf, certain areas of the green have restricted access and golfers are unable to carry bags or take golf buggies onto that area. This means that golfers have to carry the clubs onto the green that they think may be needed for the shot. This can sometimes mean carrying two or three clubs onto the green. Consequently there is nowhere or no means of storing the spare clubs, so they must be placed on the ground. This causes the grip to become wet and slippery and in many cases the golfer will walk off the green after taking the shot and forget to pick up the club on the ground.
The K-Peg has been designed to overcome this problem. The K-Peg hooks onto the shaft of the golf club and pegs the club head to the ground, thus holding the golf club in an upright position, protecting the grip of the club and making the club highly visible.
The K-Peg is universal, so can be used to with all types of golf clubs. The design of the K-Peg is such that it can be used on a range of surfaces and can be used as a tool to repair any marks left on the green after its use.
The advantages of the K-Peg are as follows: The K-Peg will support the golf club, holding it in an upright position, thus protecting the grip and stopping it from becoming wet and slippery.
It will also make the club that is not being used, highly visible, reducing the probability of golfers walking away without the club after they have played the shot.
The design makes the K-Peg a universal tool that can be used with all standard golf clubs.
Preferably the K-Peg will be manufactured in aluminium, allowing the product to be strong yet lightweight.
Preferably, the manufacture in aluminium will allow the K-peg to have several different finishes, such as anodising and plastic coating.
The design of the K-Peg ensures that it will be suitable for use on different surfaces and in various weather conditions.
The compact size and lightweight nature of the K-Peg will allow it to be stored easily within a golf bag or upon the golfer for instant use.
The K-Peg can be used as a tool to repair any marks left on the green after its use.
An example of the invention will now be described by referring to the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 - shows the K-Peg according to the invention.
Figure 2 - shows the K-Peg in use.
The U-shaped head of the K-Peg [2] is slotted into the shaft of the golf club [6]. The K-Peg is then lowered down the shaft of the golf club [6] to engage the club head [4].
The teeth [1] hold the club head [4] securely in place while the dual forks [3] are inserted into the ground / playing surface [53 - staking the club. The club is then supported in an upright position as shown in figure 2, making it highly visible and ensuring that the grip of the club is kept clean and dry.
After use the K-Peg can be removed by either pulling the whole unit from the ground or by lifting the club, which will also release the club and KPeg from the ground.
The K-Peg can also be used to repair any marks left on the ground / playing surface after its use. The dual forks [3] of the K-Peg are inserted into the ground at a diagonal angle and used to lever the ground up, leaving the playing surface flat and undamaged.
The U-Shaped head [2] of the K-Peg has been designed to be universal and will therefore fit and be compatible with the whole compliment of golf clubs available on the market. /
