Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This invention design is for a golf club stand that will hold multiple clubs, towels and the flag stick. It also was designed to hold the club covers so at anytime during a round of golf you do not have to bend over to pick up clubs. Note that it fits in the bag with your putter without noticing it.

The design has multiple uses, to keep your grips from getting wet during a moist morning, on the driving range when you take just a few clubs to warm up, when you can not take the cart into the fairway and need more than one club, and mostly used today around the green for a sand shot and or for a quick up and down you can bring multiple clubs and a wet towel to the green and never bend over except to pick that birdie up out of the hole!

This invention is a bit different from most as it is easy to carry and no devices to open up a second or third leg to stabilize the stand, this device pokes into the ground and has a lip on the end of it to hold club covers and or wet towels to clean the balls and clubs. It is designed so when you grab your putter you grab The Club Stand at the same time you grab your putter.
