Golf club cover music apparatus and method of use therefor

Abstract

The invention comprises a combination golf club head cover and/or novelty golf club configured with an integrated music device or a replaceably attachable music device. For example, a golf club cover and/or a novelty golf club system is configured with one or more music projection elements, such as a power source, receiver, power transmittal line, music source receiver, integrated music source, connector for a replaceably attached music source, music transmittal line, user controller, amplifier, and/or speaker. Optionally, the golf club cover is configured with a pocket and the cover and/or novelty golf club is configured with weather protection means and/or an anti-theft device. The system allows a golfer to enjoy music while playing a round of golf and/or to enjoy the same music source while in an indoor area and/or a refreshment area where a bulky golf bag is not readily transported.
