Abstract

Abstract The connector comprises a central carrier from which a plurality of links extend having a clip on the end which snaps over a ring or loop on the end of a cover for a golf club head. The link may be made of a short length of Nylon braided cord which is looped at the ends and joined in unit relation at one end to a ring with the loops at the other end provided with a releasable clip. The link may have the ends of the cord provided with a sleeve containing an aperture on the end for supporting a clip. The clip at one end of the link is secured within an aperture of a disc having additional apertures in which clips of additional links are secured. By supplying discs with three, four, five or any number of apertures, the same number of links can be secured thereto to have a cover connector which the purchaser can have assembled with links of the same or a series of colors.
