Abstract
A device for securing a set of golf clubs in a bag is disclosed, in which a flat plate is provided having four generally parallel tongues defining three slots which are closed at one end of the plate and open at the opposite end. Each slot is slightly wider than a narrow region of the golf club shafts, and is substantially longer than its width, so that a group of golf clubs can be laterally inserted in series. A generally U-shaped arm is pivotally attached at one of its ends to one of the two outermost tongues, so as to be pivotable between an open position, in which clubs can be inserted in the slots, and an engaged position in which the arm closes the slot openings, securing the clubs in the device. Holes are provided in the other end of the arm and the other one of the plate's outermost tongues, which overlap when the plate and arm are in the engaged position, allowing a padlock shackle to lock the two pieces together. One end of a long cable is attached to the plate, the other end having a loop which hangs free when the device is not in use. The device may thus be locked to another object, such as a tree or pole, by wrapping the cable around the object and connecting the loop and the two overlapping ends of the device with the padlock shackle.
