ABSTRACT:
A golf club shaft protector is disclosed as including an elongated hollow plastic tube having a polygonal cross-sectional configuration with an unequal number of sides interconnected to each other by corner sections. Each of the unequal number of sides have the same predetermined length and each of the corner sections have the same predetermined angular shape. One of each of the corner sections faces one of each of the sides. Preferably, the unequal number of sides is at least seven to provide the largest possible opening with the greatest amount of rigidity for receiving the golf club shaft, including a golf club handle. The golf club shaft protector also includes a tubular element mounted adjacent the open upper end of the hollow plastic tube and includes an outer wall section, an inner wall section and flexible lip sections. The outer wall section surrounds an outer wall area of the tube adjacent the open upper end, the inner wall section surrounds an inner wall area of the tube adjacent the open upper end and the flexible lip sections extend over the open upper end of the tube for resiliently supporting a golf club shaft in centered position relative to the hollow plastic tube. The aforementioned elements facilitate the entry and removal of a golf club shaft including a golf club handle or grip, while protecting the golf club shaft against marring, scratching or other damage while retained within the hollow plastic tube.
