Abstract
A golf club head cover is made primarily of stretchable fabric, which is in the shape of an elongated cylinder closed at the upper end and open at the lower end. The stretch fabric is made to stretch in a circumferential direction of the cover. The open lower end of the cover has dimensions which are smaller than the dimensions of a golf club head with which the cover is to be used; so that the cover stretches as the head is inserted. To facilitate placement of the cover over a golf club head, the lower open end of the cover has a pair of diametrically opposed lips extending from it. The lips are joined together at notches on diametrically opposite sides of the lips to facilitate use of the lips in placing the cover over a golf club head. The cover stretches to conform to the shape of the head, thereby protecting the head when it is inserted into the cover.
