The insertion holes 11 are formed in plural on the upper side of the housing 10. Since the golf clubs C used for golf are not one but several are used at the same time, a plurality of insertion holes 11 are formed to insert all the golf clubs C used.

The housing 10 is a space in which the grip wet by rain or the like is dried, and a discharge passage of the moisture discharged from the grip is required. If the moist air is not properly discharged, the drying efficiency may be reduced, and the air heated by the heating unit 30 may maintain an excessively high temperature and damage the grip. The exhaust port 12 is a passage for discharging such heated air, and is preferably formed at an upper side of the housing 10.

The grip is inserted inside the housing 10. The size of the housing 10 is preferably formed such that the vertical length in the cross section is slightly larger than the length of the grip. The golf grip drying apparatus 1 of the present invention is a device for drying the grip, and therefore, the shaft 10, which is a part other than the grip, does not need to be inserted, and the housing 10 is formed to a minimum size to fit the length of the grip. Is suitable for making the grip dry faster.

The supply part 20 is a part for supplying external air to the inside of the housing 10. When the humid air inside the housing 10 is rapidly replaced by the external dry air, the drying is performed as fast as that, and the supply unit 20 performs this.

The supply unit 20 is provided with a blower 21 (fan) to supply air quickly with a simple structure. The blower 21 is installed at one end of the inside of the housing 10 and sucks outside air. Therefore, an air inlet 13 is provided on one side of the housing 10 adjacent to the blower 21 to serve as a passage of the supplied air. The intake port 13 need not be formed in a completely open form, and may be formed to such an extent that it does not disturb the flow of the supplied air. Rather, when fully opened, a large foreign material is sucked into the blower 21, which may cause damage to the blower 21. Even for the prevention of safety accidents, the inlet 13 is connected to the mesh as shown in FIG. It is preferably formed in the form of.

The heating unit 30 is a configuration for supplying hot air to the grip inserted into the housing 10 by heating the air in the housing 10. Air heated by the heating unit 30 is supplied to the grip by the blower 21 constituting the supply unit 20. The heating unit 30 may be provided with a heating coil 31 as shown in FIG. The heating unit 30 is not always operated, only the supply unit 20 may be operated or may be operated together with the supply unit 20.
