ABSTRACT:
The golf shaft guard includes a hollow foamed, spongy elastomeric tube with a generally central space extending the length thereof into which a non-metallic golf club shaft is inserted through a side slit running the length of the tube. The space preferably is dimensioned relative to the shaft so that the tube walls defining the space grip the shaft, holding the tube in place against the hosel of a golf club bearing the shaft. In one embodiment, the space is uniform in diameter, while the club shaft tapers down from its end grip to the hosel. In another embodiment, the tube and space are expanded to provide a head into which the head of the golf club is inserted for protection, the tube thus covering the head, hosel and shaft, the latter preferably throughout most of the length thereof. Thus, the invention includes the assembly of the golf club and guard. The guard protects non-metallic shafts from abrasion against other golf clubs, but particularly against the upper rim and space dividers of a golf bag in which the club-tube assembly is carried.
