Abstract
A head cover for covering a head and an adjacent shaft portion of a golf club including an outer sleeve and an inner liner each of which has a generally tubular configuration with a closed upper end and open bottom end. The open bottom ends of the outer sleeve and the inner liner are sewn together with an inverted V-shaped slot extending from the open bottom ends toward the closed upper ends thereof. The longitudinal dimension of the inner liner is less than the longitudinal dimension of the outer sleeve to provide a gap between the closed upper ends of the inner liner and the outer sleeve. When installed on a golf club, the head of the golf club pushes the closed upper end of the inner liner into engagement with the closed upper end of the outer sleeve closing the gap and partially closing the open bottom end of the inner liner. This closes the inverted V-shaped slots in the outer sleeve and the inner liner. The golf club head cover may be provided with a detachable identification tag.
