Abstract
A golf ball marker holder is provided that can be placed upon the top surface of a golfer's shoe and attached to the shoe by sliding the shoe lace of the golfer's shoe up a slot, past a retaining structure, and into a receiving area, after which the shoe lace is tightened and the golf ball marker holder is retained in place. The holder is of a unitary structure having two major portions, in which these two portions are pivotally attached to one another to form an upper and lower portion that forms a slot therebetween. This slot is used to receive the shoe lace of a golfer's shoe, and the holder is maneuvered to slide the shoe lace through the slot and into a receiving area. Once the shoe lace reaches that receiving area, the shoe lace will be retained by a corner structure within the slot, which will not allow the shoe lace to easily slide back out of the slot. The holder includes a receptacle/orifice that is able to receive the protruding post of a golf ball marker of more than one size and shape. Once the golf ball marker has been placed into this receiving receptacle/opening, then the golfer will have a readily available ball marker which can be easily found and used when the golfer attempts to mark a ball on a putting green, for example.
