Abstract: A golf club stand including a collapsible pair of legs having a lower ground engaging end and an upper end, and a golf club shaft engaging member connected to the upper end of the pair of legs. The shaft engaging member releasably engages the golf club shaft, such that the golf club is held in a generally upright position with the head of the golf club and the lower ends of the pair of legs engaging the ground. The legs are pivotally connected to each other at their upper end so as to permit them to be collapsed into a compact state for carrying. The legs may be collapsed further by forming each leg in a telescoping manner. The shaft engaging member includes a support portion having a generally U-shaped groove into which the lower end of the shaft of the club may be inserted. The shaft engaging member may also include a base or grip portion to which the legs are pivotally mounted or it may be formed integrally with the upper end of one of the legs.
