FIG.
1 shows the use of the putter holder 10 attached to a conventional golf bag 11 above and parallel to its rim 12.
A conventional blade putter head 13 and its putter shaft 14 are depicted just prior to resting upon the rendering of a typical seven inch stuffed doll.
The type and size of doll to be utilized is a design choice, which must be reasonable to meet the stated objectives.
10 is attached to 11 by clip means best shown in FIG.
2a.
Holder 10 consists of a cushioning member doll 15 which may contain a variety of stuffing materials 16, as commonly employed in the plush toy, stuffed doll and beanbag toy industries, as well as semi-soft synthetics of differing density characteristics, preferably polyester fiber in combination with polyethylene pellets.
Material 16 may be covered by a variety of textiles commonly employed in the toy industry, preferably nylon based acrylic plush fur 17, which provides structure, longevity and aesthetics.
Indentation 18a and 18b are created by the weight of the putter head resting upon soft material 16 and 17, to aid in the prevention of putter vibration once placed therein.
An elongated tube 19 is open at both ends and is sufficiently sized to receive a putter shaft and its handle.
19 may be formed from conventional well-known resilient materials, such as common plastics or rubber compounds.
The preference would be a plastic synthetic resin such as a polyolefin copolymer or propylene, etc.
The tube 19 and its clip 20 are best formed as one unit, utilizing the manufacturing process of injection molding.
An opening 21 exists in 16 and 17 to accommodate the 15 attachment mechanism to 19, which is a tubular shaped cloth sleeve portion 22 of 15, and is more clearly shown in FIG
