Abstract: Disclosed is a golf ball holder comprising a generally cylindrical wall element forming a tubular member. There is an elongated aperture running along the entire length of the tubular member between opposed open ends in the tubular member. The tubular member is of a uniform diameter with the opposed open ends having a diameter slightly less than the diameter of the golf balls. The tubular member is made of a resilient material to enable the wall element to expand outwardly when a golf ball is inserted into either of the open ends. The aperture is sufficiently wide to allow the finger of the user to be inserted into it to force a golf ball out of either end but not so wide as to allow a golf ball to be inserted into the tubular member through the aperture. There is a stop member at one of the open ends which prevents a ball from passing through this end unless the user applies pressure to the golf ball and forces it past the stop member.

Abstract: A detachable mounting clip arrangement according to the present invention includes a mounting clip supported by a support structure. The mounting clip is coupled to the support structure in a manner which allows rotation of the mounting clip between a first or normal position and a second position. A latching mechanism is coupled to the support structure so that when the mounting clip is in the first or normal position the latch is closed and the mounting clip is rotated to the second position, the latch opens. This is accomplished by a CAM pin coupled to the mounting clip which engages a CAM follower slot in a sliding latch member. When the mounting clip is rotated the sliding latch member slides with respect to a fixed latch member thereby opening the latch.
