Likewise, during transport the clubs may bump against other objects, potentially causing damage or at least generating an annoying clanging sound.
The cloth-type cover works reasonably well to dampen noise and protect against minor impacts, but works less well for a more significant shock.
The cloth head cover is also typically created with an extension that covers the hozzle and a portion of the shaft, creating a snug fit that can pose a challenge to attach to or remove from the club.
Some have tried to create a more rigid or clamshell

Example

[0026]A preferred golf club head cover 100 is shown in a front view in FIG. 1. In a preferred version, the head cover 100 is formed with a clamshell configuration having a first half and a second half separated by a seam 40. The first half includes a first head covering portion 12 and a first shaft covering portion 22, and in the illustrated example the first head covering portion and the first shaft covering portion are integrally formed from a single material. In one version, each of the first half and the second half are formed from a castable flexible urethane foam. In other versions, it may be made from other more rigid plastic materials, or other resilient materials such as silicone. Most preferably, the particular version of foam is rated as a semi-rigid material such that it will not collapse under its own weight. The second half likewise includes a second head covering portion 14 and a second shaft covering portion 24, preferably integrally formed from a common material.

Abstract

A golf club head cover is formed from rigid or semi-rigid materials and is divided in two halves as a clamshell. The head cover includes a head covering portion and a shaft covering portion. A clip is attached to a sole region of the head cover, between the toe and the heel, to allow a user to open or close the head cover as desired.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates generally to protective covers for golf clubs.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Golf clubs are traditionally carried in a golf bag that typically holds the permitted fourteen golf clubs to be used in a round of golf. The clubs are in fairly close proximity to one another, and can swivel or jostle in the bag so that the club heads of clubs can contact the club head, shafts, or hozzle of other nearby clubs. Likewise, during transport the clubs may bump against other objects, potentially causing damage or at least generating an annoying clanging sound. For these or other reasons, golfers commonly use a head cover for some or perhaps all of their clubs. Most commonly, golfers use covers for larger clubs such as drivers, fairway woods, and hybrids.[0003]The most common golf club head cover is formed from a cloth material, often woven, and frequently incorporating some foam or other padding. The cloth-type cover works reasonably well to da...
