Abstract: A device that affords protection for a golf club and functions to prevent damage to the club when the club is stowed in a travel bag. Fabricated from one-piece, rigid, plastic material, the device comprises a cradle or canopy portion configured to house a golf club head. Although especially effective for protecting drivers with long shafts, the cradle or canopy can be configured to receive the heads of putters or irons that also have longer shafts. A tube or sleeve extends downward from the bottom of the canopy or cradle and terminates in an open end.
