Description

  The present invention relates to a golf club head fixture.

  When transporting a plurality of golf clubs in a golf club bag or the like, a sound is generated when the club heads of the golf clubs or the club head and the club shaft collide with each other, or the club head or the club shaft is damaged. May be attached. In order to prevent such a phenomenon, a device for fixing a club head of a golf club or a cover for a club head for protecting the club head has been developed. For example, a plate-shaped water-resistant elastic material is cut along a shape covering from the head to the neck of an iron club to form a pair of side pieces that are in close contact with the side surface of the head, and the appropriate positions of the peripheral edges of the side pieces are joined. Thus, there is an iron head cover formed by forming a bag body having an opening on the neck side (Patent Document 1).

  This iron head cover is used by putting a single head cover on a club head of a single iron club, and the club head collides with the club head or club shaft of another golf club to generate noise or damage. Can be prevented.

  In addition, for example, a cover portion that includes a bag-like cover main body formed with an accommodation space that covers a plurality of club heads, and a string that closes an opening of the cover main body, and the cover main body is made of a non-stretchable material. There is a golf club cover provided with a stretchable part formed of a stretchable material (Patent Document 2).

  This golf club cover stores a plurality of golf clubs together in a cover body, and can save time and effort required for mounting and removal as compared with a cover that covers a single golf club.

  However, the iron head cover described in Patent Document 1 has a problem that it is necessary to attach and remove the cover for each single iron club, which takes time and effort. Accordingly, it has been desired to develop a golf club head fixture that reduces the effort required for mounting and dismounting.

  Further, the golf club cover described in Patent Document 2 has a problem in that movement may occur in a plurality of club heads in the cover body, and sound and scratches may occur. Therefore, it has been desired to develop a golf club head fixing device that can be fixed and protected so that the club head does not move.
