  • Publication number: 20060006300
    Abstract: A golf accessory attachment device for use primarily on golf bags. The device is light-weight and simplistic in form to afford rapid removal and reattachment using the male “stud” portion of the snap fastening device commonly found on golf bags where a cover is employed to cover golf club heads for protection when not in use. The device employs a small, folded piece of webbing. Securing the fold is accomplished by insertion of a common “cap and socket” snap fastener. The resulting fixed loop in the webbing then has a common “golf towel hook” passed through it. The device may then be attached to a number of small golf accruements by means of the hook and quickly attached to one of the “stud” snap fasteners on the bag.
