Golf putter pipe

A combination smoking pipe/golf putter consisting of a smoking pipe being machined into the head of the device, a suitable ball striking area being machined into the side of the club head, and a suitable shaft and grip being installed into the pipe/club head. This will allow golfers to smoke their favorite combustible material while on the golf course without having to bring a separate smoking device.

Description

[0001] A device for smoking combustible materials consisting of a golf putter head which has been constructed to form a smoking pipe. The golf putter head is attached to a conventional golf putter shaft, and the pipe can also be used to putt golf balls. A method of forming the device is to CNC machine a golf putter head by programming the dimensions into the CNC machine, and then the computer controls the machining of the golf putter head with passages inside so that it doubles as a pipe for smoking combustible materials.

STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT

[0002] This development of this invention was not federally sponsored.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] This invention pertains to several fields of endeavor. One of which is the field of smoking pipes, and the other is the field of sports equipment/golf clubs. Our invention solves the problem of being at the golf course and not having a pipe with which to smoke ones combustible materials.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The basic concept behind this invention is that while often one finds oneself on the golf course, one may forget to bring ones pipe for smoking combustible materials. This invention makes it such that if one remembered to bring ones golf clubs with a putter, then they have also brought an excellent pipe for smoking combustible materials. This is the main problem that the invention solves. The secondary problem that this invention solves is the one of needing a novelty item/conversation piece while on the golf course.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

[0005] The drawing FIG. 1 depicts the golf putter pipe in a side view.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0006] The process of making the golf putter pipe can be accomplished in several ways. The variance in manufacturing process depends on the material being used to create the putter pipes head. One such method is to use a CNC computer controlled machining device to carve the head and internal passages from a billet block of aluminum or other suitable metal. Another method involve casting the putter pipes head from steel, then machining out the internal passages. A conventional steel or graphite/carbon composite shaft is then fitted to the putter head. Finally, a conventional putter grip material is installed.

[0007] The order of manufacture based on the drawing FIG. 1 is as follows: First, the club head is machined into shape by a CNC machine, and the hole for the shaft to slip into is machined. Then, the machine drills a hole (A) into the end of the putter pipes head. Next, the hole coming from the bottom of the putter is machined (B). A larger diameter hole is then drilled in the same location as the last drilling, forming the bowl (C). Next, the shaft (D) is affixed to the putter pipe head. Finally, a suitable grip is installed (E).

Claims

1. A device for smoking combustible materials, comprising:

A bowl, drilled into a metal block, connected by drilled passageways to an outlet in the end of the block. This block is a suitable size and shape for being used as a golf putter.

2. The smoking device of claim one further comprising:

A surface machined on the side of the pipe suitable for accurately striking a golf ball.

3. The smoking device of claim 1, further comprising:

A conventional golf putter shaft installed on the top of the putter pipe head.

4. The smoking device of claim one, further comprising:

A conventional golf putter grip installed on the end of the conventional golf putter shaft.
