Magnetic golf glove accessory

Abstract

Golf accessories that are attachable to pieces of clothing (e.g., golf gloves) and that may be attached to magnetic elements affixed on objects are disclosed. A golf accessory can include two button halves, each providing a magnetic force, wherein the button halves can be attached on either ends of a piece of clothing. A golf accessory can include a clip with two magnetic holders attached on the extended portion of each arm and the clip can then be attached to a piece of clothing. A golf accessory can also be a button that is affixed to a piece of clothing. A golf accessory can further be a therapeutic bracelet embedded into an athletic glove. Additionally, a magnetic hanger can be provided to attach to the clip, button, removable button, or therapeutic bracelet.
