Benefits of technology

[0003]A golf club head cover is described. The head cover is used to cover and protect a head and a hosel of a golf club, such as a putter head, from damage caused by contact with other metal clubs in the golf bag while being used and / or transported during or playing golf. The head cover provides protection by encasing or substantially covering the golf club head and the hosel in a padded sock-like cover.
[0007]As such, a golf club cover is provided that is easier to use, does not require several fastening movements, securely fastens to the golf club, is durable, and provides cushioning and soft layers to support the golf club.

Problems solved by technology

The hook and loop fasteners tend to collect lint and debris, resulting in poor performance and a sloppy appearance.
The hook and loop fasteners tend to tangle or snag on unintended objects.
Such closing action requires several movements, which may prove burdensome or inconvenient during extended play of golf.
If the golf club cover is not regularly and consistently used, then the golf clubs are more likely to be scratched or damaged.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a golf club head cover to cover a golf club head.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0002]Certain previous golf club covers utilize a strap that removably fastens to the golf club cover to hold the golf club cover to the golf club. Hook and look fasteners are often used to provide the fastening. Such golf club covers suffer from several disadvantages. The hook and loop fasteners tend to collect lint and debris, resulting in poor performance and a sloppy appearance. The hook and loop fasteners tend to tangle or snag on unintended objects. Further, the user has to insert their golf club into the cover and then grasp the strap and physically fasten the strap to the golf club cover. Such closing action requires several movements, which may prove burdensome or inconvenient during extended play of golf. If the golf club cover is not regularly and consistently used, then the golf clubs are more likely to be scratched or damaged.SUMMARY OF INVENT...
