  • Patent number: 4719798
    Abstract: A wind direction finder for use on a golf course includes a fastener portion and a ribbon portion which is attached to the fastener portion. The fastener portion includes an adhesive material having a peel away sheet, which when removed, allows the wind direction finder to be attached to the canopy frame post of a golf cart, preferably on the portion at an angle away from a line perpendicular to the ground. As the wind freely blows between the main body of the golf cart and the canopy, the wind lifts the free end of the ribbon, and the angle and direction of the ribbon can be observed by the golfer to indicate both the direction and speed of the wind. With this knowledge, the golfer can make appropriate compensations in the golf shot to be made. The fastener portion includes an interior member having the adhesive on one side thereof and a backing member and the ribbon is affixed between the interior member and the backing member.
