ABSTRACT:
A golf club shaft protector is disclosed as including a hollow plastic tube of predetermined diameter and length with open upper and lower ends. The length of the hollow plastic tube substantially corresponds to the length of a golf club shaft and can be pre-selected and cut to the appropriate length. A flexible restricted throat element extends across the open upper end of the hollow plastic tube for resilient deformation upon the insertion of a golf club handle to allow passage of the golf club handle and associated golf club shaft into the hollow plastic tube. The flexible restricted throat element subsequently returns to its initial shape for close fitting circumferential support of the golf club hosel at an upper end of the golf club shaft adjacent the golf club head. The predetermined diameter of the hollow plastic tube is dimensioned to at least substantially peripherally engage the golf club handle at least adjacent the open lower end. The entire length of the golf club shaft is thus protected by the hollow plastic tube through the circumferential support of the golf club hosel by the flexible restricted throat opening at the open upper end and by the at least substantial peripheral engagement of the golf club handle at the lower open end so as to provide suspended non-engagement of the golf club shaft therebetween.
