Abstract: An improved golf club stand that enables a golf club to be inverted and supported above the ground in a substantially vertical position is provided. In a first embodiment, the stand includes a sleeve secured in the handle of the club and a spike. The spike is tapered at a first end and is configured at a second end to be detachably coupled to the sleeve. In a second embodiment, the spike is retained in the handle of the club. The sleeve has a slotted open end that prevents the spike from being dislodged from the sleeve and enables a portion of the spike to pass therethrough. The disk end of the spike also prevents the spike from completely passing through the slotted end. The sleeve is configured to prevent the spike from retracting fully into the sleeve and drop into the club's shaft. When inserted in the ground, the invented stand aids with keeping the grip of the club dry and unsoiled.

Abstract: A golfclub-case preferably employed in nature of a lighter carrybag embodiment, features a telescopically variable advantage; whereby the golfer is provided a more comfortably balanced effect during carry-modality, yet more convenient access during freestanding-modality. The special golfclub-case structure comprises two tubular sections freely sliding one inside the other, plus a shoulder-sling secured at one end to the upper opened-end of the golfclub-case, the oposite end down near the case's basecup. Thus when rested upon the base, the case telescopically-retracts about 4-inches, facilitating better upper-end access to shorter putter and wedge type clubs; yet-when lifted away for resumption of carrying, weight of golfclubs automatically re-extends case length, thus effectively shifting center-of-gravity more aft of one's shoulder than with a conventional case, thereby negating former aggravating tendancy of golfclubs to spill out forward as one moves about.

Abstract: A golf club for impelling a golf ball without swinging. The club uses expanding gas generated by an exploding charge to move a piston having an attached strike plate against a golf ball, impelling the ball down the fairway toward the green. The club is prepared for use by inserting an explosive charge and cocking the firing mechanism. The club is fired by placing the head of the club a short distance behind the ball, aiming the ball by aligning the striking plate with the ball, releasing a safety, and triggering the firing mechanism.
