Golf club carrier

Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a golf club carrier showing my new design;

FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a rear elevational view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a left side elevational view, the right side being a mirror image thereof;

FIG. 5 is a top plan view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a bottom plan view thereof.

The appearance of the side opposite that of FIG. 4 is a mirror image of that shown in FIG. 4.

The dotted lines in FIG. 1 show one manner of use of the carrier, and two clubs in place, but are not a part of the design. The dotted lines in FIG. 6 show the approximate position of the golf club shafts in the carrier when carried by a golfer. The parts appearing as two circles in FIG. 2 and as ovals in FIGS. 5 and 6 and which also appear in FIG. 4, are parts of snap fasteners. These can be unsnapped, and if one part of the fastner at the end of the overlapping part of the strap is then snapped onto a mating part of the fastener at the end of the overlapped part of the strap, the golfer can almost double the effective length of the strap so that the carrier can be carried over the shoulder of the golfer.

The broken line showing of a golfer and golf clubs in FIG. 1 and golf club shafts in FIG. 6 is for illustrative purposes only and forms no part of the claimed design.
