Wow, Now That Is A Great Idea! Not To Mention It Would Actually Speed Up The Pace of Play
Yesterday I was reviewing the latest patent applications that published related to golfing inventions and I actually found myself thinking “great idea!” That does not happen very often.
The patent application published as US Pub. No. 20080190795 with the title “Golf Club Holder for Golf Carts.” Check out this rather handy invention.
The application describes the invention as:
A horizontally arrayed collection of receptors, each suited to hold an individual golf club in inverted position, is horizontally mountable to the unpredictably angled canopy frame bar of a golf cart. A mounting clamp receives an angled frame bar between two studs that are spaced wider apart that the thickness of the bar, so that the array can be twisted to horizontal position with the frame bar still between the studs. Then the clamp compresses the frame bar to permanently secure the array at the desired orientation. The receptors provide a vertical bore with compound profile for holding the individual golf clubs in vertical position. A top end profile defines a tapered cavity matching the taper of a club ferrule, while a bottom end profile is flared similarly to an inverted club shaft. Bosses extending into a gate area of each receptor assist in preventing loss of a club during cart travel by creating a snap-in function that retains the clubs in the receptors.
Pretty cool! I could see these really selling.
