A golf club fitting apparatus and a method for fitting using the apparatus are provided. The golf club fitting apparatus may be attached to a golf club and provide fitting information including effective lie angle and effective loft angle. The golf club fitting apparatus includes a lower surface that contacts a butt end of a grip, an upper surface opposite the lower surface, and a side surface connecting the upper and lower surfaces. An angle indicator is disposed at a predetermined angle relative to a shaft axis of the golf club so as to rest in a neutral position when the golf club is in a normal address position.

The presently disclosed subject matter is generally directed to one or more golf alignment rods that can be used as a multipurpose golf training aid, such as to teach proper golf club alignment and/or swing technique. Particularly, the alignment rod comprises a base defined by a first end and a second end. The alignment rod further includes a cap positioned at one end of the base. The cap comprises a magnet positioned on an interior surface. The magnet allows two or more alignment rods to be removably coupled together, such as when stored upright in a golf bag. In this way, movement of the alignment rods in the golfer's bag (e.g., when the cart is in motion) is minimized. In addition, the alignment rods are more easily accessible when needed by the golfer.

Examples of golf equipment covers and methods to manufacture golf equipment covers are generally described herein. In one example, a golf club head cover may include a body portion having an outer shell portion, an inner liner portion, and an opening for receiving a golf club head. The golf club head cover may include a magnetic portion that allows the golf club head cover to be magnetically attached to a metallic structure, such as a steel golf cart basket. A magnet identifier may be visibly located proximate to the magnetic portion. The magnet identifier may notify an individual as to a location of the magnetic portion. Other examples may be described and claimed.

A golf ball dispenser includes: a receptacle configured to hold multiple golf balls; a passageway connecting an outlet of the golf dispenser with the receptacle; a gateway coupled between the passageway and the receptacle to restrict a passage of the multiple golf balls into the passageway, the gateway being selectively moveable to allow a golf ball to pass into the passageway for delivery to a tee area; and a display device embedded in the golf ball dispenser to present at least information regarding the golf ball in flight after the golf ball is hit from the tee area. Further, methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for use with such golf ball dispensers, can control holding and dispensing of golf balls at a golf facility, e.g., a driving range.

An article of manufacture for providing an adjustable tee marker according to the present invention is an adjustable tee marker having a tee marker body having a front side, top side, and a rear side, a yardage display positioned on the front side of the tee marker body, the yardage display shows a plurality of numerical digits corresponding to a yardage distance from the adjustable tee marker to a specified location on golf course hole, a location name display positioned on the front side of the tee marker body, the location name display shows one of a plurality of changeable location names corresponding to the specified location on golf course hole, and an installation spike coupled to the tee marker body. A mechanism/winder accessible using a key may be inserted into the tee marker body. The mechanism/winder rotates when the key inserted into the tee marker body is rotated causing the location name display to change the changeable location name seen in the location name display.

A golf club wrench with a bit portion having a plurality of tip features at one end of the bit portion is disclosed herein. The tip features may include threading, a Philips head shape, a flat head shape, a Torx® head shape, and a hex wrench shape. The different tip features on the wrench can be used to engage with both a mechanical fastener and a weight. The wrench may also include a handle contoured to fit within the hand of a golfer. The golf club wrench can be provided in a kit containing weights and mechanical fasteners having engagement features that mate with one or more of the tip features on the wrench.
