Abstract
A device for cleaning and drying golf club heads and for cleaning, drying, and carrying golf balls can be secured to the user during play. The device includes a generally pliant, hollow sleeve member having a large opening at its upper end and a smaller opening at its lower end. The upper and lower openings of the sleeve member are appropriately sized to allow golf club heads of any size to be cleaned within the sleeve upper interior portion while golf balls may be cleaned within the sleeve lower interior portion. Additionally, the appropriately sized lower opening permits golf balls to be retained within the lower interior portion of the sleeve member and squeezed out as needed. The device accomplishes all of the cleaning of the golf equipment internally and therefore prevents any cleaned off material from contacting the user or the user's clothing.
