Abstract
A cover for the grip area of golf clubs to keep them dry and protected from the elements is herein disclosed, preferably comprising a neoprene covering in the shape of a tube with the approximate dimensions of twelve (12) to twenty (20) inches long and a diameter of two (2) inches. A first end of the tube is sealed, while a second end is furnished with a flexible membrane which seals it against the club shaft. The closed end is provided with a hook to allow the cover to be hung along with a club, thereby providing a means for the cover to be placed over the grip end of a golf club in much the same manner as a sock. This not only extends the life of the club and grip, but provides the golfer with enhanced performance due to the decreased risk of slippage during play, particularly during wet conditions.
