Abstract: A storage apparatus for storing a golf club comprising a spring-loaded inner tube positioned within an outer tube for holding golf clubs. In one variation, the inner tube comprises grippers or arm extensions for securing the golf club when the inner tube is pushed downward within the outer tube. A locking mechanism may be provided for maintaining the inner tube in the retracted position. In on variation, the apparatus is configured such that when a user presses the golf club downward the locking mechanism releases the inner tube and pushes the inner tube upward to a predefined position. In this variation, the golf club is maintained in the raised position until the user pushes the club downward and engages the locking mechanism to keep the inner tube in the retracted position.
