System For Magnetically Securing A Golf Ball Mark Holder To An Article

Abstract

A golf ball mark holder is secured to an intermediate material by placing a first clamping body and a second clamping body on opposite sides of the material. A first magnet is connected to the first clamping body and a second clamping body is connected to the second clamping body, causing the clamping bodies to become magnetically attracted to each other and clamp down upon the intermediate material. The first clamping body is ferrous, allowing it to be magnetized by the first magnet. The first clamping body is then capable of securing the golf ball marker, as the golf ball marker is magnetically attracted to the first clamping body. Through use of the first clamping body and second clamping body the golf ball mark holder along with the users golf ball marker can be secured to any intermediate material without disrupting or altering the intermediate material.
