Abstract: A vehicle integrated hitch and bumper support assembly (10) and a method for making the support assembly from tube stock includes an elongated tube (12) having an intermediate portion (14) and end portions (16) that are cut so that the elongated tubes can be cut from tube stock whose length is less than the combined length of the elongated tubes.

Abstract: A prop for spacing a handgrip of a golf club from the ground such that when the golf club is laid thereupon, the handgrip remains dry and clean, is provided. The prop includes a body having a generally round aperture extending therethrough about a longitudinal axis with the aperture being sized and configured to retain the handgrip therewithin. The body also has spaced surfaces which form a slot opening radially outwardly from the aperture. The slot is sufficiently large to allow the shaft to radially enter, and sufficiently small to prevent the handgrip from exiting, the aperture. The prop may be radially inserted into the slot until the shaft is received within the aperture. The prop may then be slid longitudinally along the shaft and over the handgrip with the aperture being retainable about the handgrip.
