Distance marking system for golf clubs

Abstract

A yardage identifying attachment for a golf club grip end, having a disk shaped body adapted to being attached to an end face of the club grip end. An insert secures within each of the disk shaped bodes for exhibiting a yardage indicia associated with a typical driving distance of a selected golf club. A multi-sided and multi-layered wheel construction provides an aligning representation of a given club type to an expected driving distance, with a predicted driving performance of the remaining clubs being aligned with other calculated yardages associated with the circumferential disk representation. A plurality of flexural and attachable sleeves, such exhibiting and open split edge, are also provided and which can be attached to the foot end of the club shaft. The present invention also discloses packaging for combining all of the variants described herein along with instructions for use.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A yardage identifying attachment for a golf club grip end, comprising:
 a disk shaped body adapted to being attached to an end face of the club grip end; and   an insert for securing within each of the disk shaped bodes for exhibiting a yardage indicia associated with a typical driving distance of a selected golf club.   
     
     
         2 . The attachment as described in  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of individual disks, each exhibiting at least one yardage indicia. 
     
     
         3 . The attachment as described in  claim 2 , each of said disks further comprising a plurality of yardage indicia arranged in a circumferential fashion. 
     
     
         4 . The attachment as described in  claim 3 , said body further exhibiting an arcuate window in an upper surface for revealing a selected yardage indicia. 
     
     
         5 . The attachment as described in  claim 4 , further comprising a tactile rotating identification structure established between said body and said disks not limited to 60 degree. 
     
     
         6 . The attachment as described in  claim 1 , said body further comprising an anchor extending from an underside surface adapted to engage a vent hole of the club grip end. 
     
     
         7 . The attachment as described in  claim 6 , said anchor further comprising one or more exteriorly spiraling taper patterns. 
     
     
         8 . The attachment as described in  claim 2 , further comprising said disks each exhibiting a generally circular shape with opposite end projecting alignment tabs configured to align with and seat within notched upper side locations of said body. 
     
     
         9 . The attachment as described in  claim 8 , said notched locations being defined between arcuate separated outer walls configured upon said upper side of said body in order to seat the selected yardage disk. 
     
     
         10 . The attachment as described in  claim 9 , further comprising said yardage disks being reversible. 
     
     
         11 . The attachment as described in  claim 6 , said body further comprising a concave inner surface. 
     
     
         12 . A golf yardage dial for determining a second club selection based upon a predicted driving distance of any other club, comprising;
 an inner disk having a first diameter exhibiting a first circumferential array of golf club designations and an outer inter-rotatable disk having a second larger diameter and sandwiched against said inner dsk, said outer dsk indicating a second circumferential array of driving distances indicated in yardage; and   upon rotationally aligning a known club designation with a known driving distance, additional club designations and driving distances being indicated by alignment between said disks.   
     
     
         13 . The dial as described in  claim 12 , said inner disk further comprising front and back dials sandwiching opposite faces of said outer disk. 
     
     
         14 . The dial as described in  claim 12 , further comprising said inner disk indicating each of fairway wood (FW), irons 3-9, pitching wedge (PW), GW, SW, and LOB desigantions. 
     
     
         15 . A combination kit for providing an expected driving distance of a ball by a golf club, comprising:
 a plurality of yardage identifying attachments for a golf club grip end, including a disk shaped body adapted to being attached to an end face of the club grip end and an insert for securing within each of said disk shaped bodes for exhibiting a yardage indicia associated with a typical driving distance of a selected golf club; and   an equal plurality of elongated sleeves adapted to being attached to a foot end of each club, said sleeves each including a flexural elongated and generally cylindrical shaped body exhibiting a resilient material construction, said body having an open and linearly extending split edge which can be flexed in an outward/open direction so as to be adapted to attach to the club shaft, with the natural biasing force of the resilient material acting to hold the collar closed against the club shaft, a yardage indicia applied to a surface of said body, typically matching that of said grip end mounted inserts, and which is visible to a user when the club is retained within a golf bag.   
     
     
         16 . The kit as described in  claim 15 , said split edges each further comprising first narrowed and parallel extending segments with a further interconnected slip start taper segement defining leading edges for installation around the circumference of the base of the golf club shaft near the bottom club end and in a manner which does not result in damage or over flexing of the collar.
