[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a golf ball storage case, and more particularly, to a golf ball case that does not become an obstacle when being carried around during play and that allows easy insertion and removal of a golf ball.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Golf balls are often lost during golf play, and searching for the lost golf ball in each case interrupts play there and hinders later players from playing. Become.

[0003] For this reason, several spare golf balls are usually carried around. However, since several golf balls are bulky and heavy, they are put in a drawstring-shaped storage case and attached to a caddy bag, for example. Or hooked on a player's belt with a hook.

[0004] Further, a conventionally proposed storage case is a can-shaped case long enough to store several golf balls with an inner diameter capable of storing golf balls, and an upper end opening is provided at an upper portion of the case. In addition to providing a cover that acts as a lid that closes and removes the golf ball when it is inserted, a golf ball case with a hole at the bottom that is large enough to take out the golf ball and a lid that can open and close this hole is provided. This is known as Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 7-7272. This storage case has a problem that it takes time and effort to put the golf ball in and out, and the manufacturing cost is also high. In particular, since the upper cover is once removed when the golf ball is inserted, the cover is likely to be lost. Also, if the storage case made of such a hard can is hung on a belt, the case may hit the waist or the like, causing a sense of incongruity.

[0005] Thus, it is desirable to have an inexpensive golf ball case that does not hinder the player during play and allows the golf ball to be easily taken in and out, but such a golf ball case has not been found at present.
