  • Patent number: 4069536
    Abstract: The golf club washer has a liquid containing box structure. The box structure has a hinged upper portion. The upper portion has an open top surface. Two spongeous rolls are mounted in the upper portion of the box so that a narrow gap exists therebetween. The rolls are suspended so a club can have its top surface abut the lower portion of the rolls. The spongeous rolls have their outer surface lined with a synthetic grass. The synthetic grass has a web with a plurality of apertures therethrough and resilient grass-like bristles outwardly extending from the web. The bottom portion of the box structure is lined with a synthetic grass and a plastic container is placed therein. A solution can be placed within the plastic container. A golf club is manually washed by being inserted through the gap and rubbed against the synthetic grass bristled surface. The spongeous rolls are depressable by a club and allow passage of the club through the enlarged gap to the interior of the box structure.
