Abstract

A golf club shaft holder assembly includes an adjustable base clamp member suitable for mounting to a vertical support rod of the canopy of a golf car, the spine of a golf bag cart or a suitable vertical portion of a golf bag. A sling shot shape shaft holder is mounted on the adjustable base clamp member and provides a pair of spaced apart C-shape clip members positioned thereon, capable of retaining the shaft of a desired, frequently used golf club thereon. A pair of Y-shape shield members are mounted adjacent the distal ends of the cross member to protect the C-shape clamps. The entire assembly includes a new means for selectably releaseably mounting a frequently used or desired golf club in a position which is easily accessible to a golfer for ease of use thereof.

a spatially related pair of resilient generally C-shape retainers mounted in aligned relation adjacent the respective pedestal portions on the opposed ends of said cross portion,

an opening on each said C-shape retainer, and

a generally Y-shape guard member mounted on each of said opposed ends of said cross portion, with a bight portion of each said guard member being aligned with a central void inwardly adjacent said opening on each of said C-shape retainers.
