#908: StickStick

Someone I know was recently playing golf when the rain got so heavy that the course was closed. Apparently, their Club’s insurance policy didn’t cover them for the possibility that a swinging stick might slip from a wet hand and collide with a wet head.

Today’s invention is a simple wrist strap for golfers which they would attach securely before playing a round. This would have a short lead ending in a plastic clip. The clip would be attached to one fitted to all clubs (bonded securely into where the endcap normally fits). This would allow normal grip of the club and the absolute minimum strap length to avoid interfering with one’s swing.

Exclusive golf clubs might also offer GPS tracking, information/alerts and clubhouse access facilities embedded within such a band.
