Abstract
A golf club stand device is adapted for use with a conventional golf club employed for striking a golf ball laying on a support surface. The golf club includes a shaft having a shaft end portion attached to a club head. The golf club stand device generally comprises a connector and a leg structure. The connector is adapted to connect to a portion of the shaft of the golf club. The leg structure is secured to the connector and includes a pair of legs. Each leg terminates in a distal end portion and adapts to contact the support surface so that in cooperation with the club head, when it is in contact with the support surface, the golf club is supported in an upright state. The legs are interconnected for common movement and are operative to move relative to the connector between a retracted position and an extended position. In the retracted position, the legs are disposed alongside the shaft of the golf club. In the extended position, each of the legs is disposed at a respective acute angle relative to the shaft of the golf club.
