Device for securing a golf ball marker to a golf club

Abstract

A golf marker holder has a body. An anchor extends from the body and is adapted to be received by an opening within the grip of a golf club handle. An open-ended slit is formed within the body and dimensioned to receive a marker. The slit defines the travel path within the body for the marker. A biasing member is disposed within the body to operatively communicate with the slit to maintain a tension fit against a marker as a marker moves through the slit along the travel path.

1 . A device for securing a golf ball marker to a golf club comprising:
 a body;   an anchor extending from the body, the anchor conformed to be affixed to a golf club;   an open ended slit formed within the body, the slit dimensioned to receive a golf ball marker, the slit defining a travel path within the body; and   a biasing member disposed within the body and extending into the travel path.   
   
   
       2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said anchor includes a shaft extending from said body and a chamfered tip extending from said shaft spaced from said body. 
   
   
       3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said biasing member includes a spring disposed within said body. 
   
   
       4 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein said biasing member further comprises a ball bearing disposed on said spring, said ball bearing displaceably extending into said slide path. 
   
   
       5 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a retaining member, the retaining member forming an upper surface for the slot disposed within said body, the retaining member being dimensioned to retain a marker within the slot, the biasing member biasing a marker against the retaining member to maintain a marker within the slot. 
   
   
       6 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein the retaining member is formed as a horseshoe. 
   
   
       7 . A device for securing a marker to a golf club comprising:
 a body;   an anchor extending from the body, the anchor conformed to be affixed to a golf club, the anchor including a shaft extending from said body and a chamfered tip extending from said shaft spaced from said body.;   an open ended slit formed within the body, the slit dimensioned to receive a golf marker, the slit defining a travel path within the body; and   a biasing member disposed within the body and extending into the travel path, said biasing member includes a spring disposed within said body, and a ball bearing disposed on said spring, said ball bearing displaceably extending into said slide path.
