Abstract
A golf club head cover for use with golf clubs having graphite shafts has a generally cylindrically shaped head cover for the head of a golf club. This head cover has an upper end and a lower end. The upper end is closed, and the lower end is open. An elongated shaft protector is secured to the inside of the head cover at a point intermediate the upper and lower ends, to extend outwardly through the open lower end and downwardly along the shaft of a golf club inserted into the cover. This shaft protector portion is an elongated tapered element, which has mating closures along the opposite edges. When the shaft protector is open, the golf club head easily is inserted into the head cover portion and the shaft is placed between the open edges in the shaft protector. After the shaft is in place, the shaft protector is closed over the shaft to hold the head cover and shaft protector on the golf club as a unit. By extending the shaft protector from a point intermediate the upper and lower ends of the head cover, the head cover has the appearance of 'floating' with respect to the shaft protector part of the cover assembly.
