Abstract
A golf club holder is disclosed comprising an elongate tube of a resilient material having a first end open and adapted for receiving a golf club handle and shaft and a second end including a spring clip means formed from the tube for resiliently gripping a golf club handle and detachably retaining same within the tube. Preferably, the spring clip means comprises a portion of the tube adjacent the second end with a gradually reduced cross-sectional area created by one or more longitudinally extending folds in the tube. The spring clip means develops sufficient gripping force such that when a plurality of the elongate tubes are arranged in a parallel array, and secured in a golf bag, the clubs inserted in the tubes will not fall from the bag even when the bag is held upside down. Additionally, a rack is disposed above the tubes to prevent the heads of the clubs from interfering.
