ABSTRACT:
A portable golf ball cleaning device carried in a golfer's pocket for ball washing on the green. A cleaning element comprising a soft, flexible, absorbent material absorbs and retains a cleaning liquid and wipes a golf ball. An open container comprising a soft, flexible, resilient, waterproof material holds the cleaning element in a waterproof cavity formed by a bottom and a wall with an upper edge forming an opening. A mechanical fit or waterproof adhesive retains the cleaning element in the waterproof cavity. A vertical gap between the cleaning element and the upper edge of the wall keeps the cleaning element from prolonged contact with the pocket. A lateral cushion formed by the wall in the vertical gap keeps a ball engaged on the cleaning element during wiping. During play, cleaning liquid is added and the device is squeezed to adjust wetness and to clean the device. For ball cleaning, a ball is inserted through the opening and wiped on the cleaning element.
