Methods and apparatus to facilitate drying golf gloves
A golf cart includes at least one external surface and an apparatus for coupling a glove to the at least one external surface. The apparatus comprises a body comprising an inner surface and an outer surface. The body is coupled to the golf cart such that the inner surface remains in substantial contact against the at least one external surface during operation of the golf cart. The body outer surface includes at least one fastening mechanism for removably coupling a glove to the body such that the glove remains coupled to the apparatus during operation of the golf cart.
1. A method of drying a damp golf glove including a flap portion and a backing portion covered in hook and pile material, said method comprising:
providing a golf cart frame support that includes a longitudinal axis extending therethrough;
providing an apparatus comprising:
a first end including a first strap, the first strap covered in hook and pile material;
an opposing second end including a second strap, the second strap covered in hook and pile material; and
a body extending from the first end to the second end, the body including an inner surface and an opposing outer surface, the body includes a major central axis extending from said first end to said second end;
coupling the apparatus to the support such that the body and the first and second straps substantially circumscribe the support, wherein the body substantially conforms to and is coupled against at least one external surface of the support when the apparatus is coupled to the support, the body wrapped substantially concentrically about the support such that the major central axis is aligned with the longitudinal axis of the support and such that said body remains substantially in contact with the at least one external surface of the support;
securing the apparatus to the support using the first strap and the second strap, wherein each of the first and second straps loop around the support and couple to themselves;
removably coupling the golf glove flap portion and the golf glove backing portion to hook and pile material covering the body outer surface such that the glove is directly coupled against the body outer surface in a mating arrangement when the apparatus is coupled to the support; and
drying the golf glove when the golf glove is coupled to the apparatus by exposing the golf glove to air flowing past the support when the support is in motion.
