Abstract In the driving of golf clubs, particularly on moist ground, divots and muddy earth are met by the driving head of the club and attached thereto, requiring removal repeatedly. This has meant in the past the carrying by the golfer of a wiping cloth and its use to clean the driving head of the club and which is time-taking and requires the golfer to handle a progressing dirty cloth. By means of the present invention, the golfer's shoe, either right or left, is provided with a plate, held by two or more of standard pointed shoe spikes, the plate carrying a wiping element for the club head, and with a simple sweep-movement of the club its head is quickly cleaned with ease. The wiping element may be of brush form or a relatively soft upstanding element such as fabric.
A wiping attachment adapted to be attached to a golfer's shoe for cleaning golf club heads, comprising a plate formed with an elongated slot of such length and width to receive and to be frictionally held by two spaced spikes projecting from the underside of a golfer's shoe, said plate carrying at one side an upwardly and outwardly extending holding plate that would project at an incline away from the golfer's shoe, a wiping element, and means to secure the wiping element to the outer face of said holding plate with a portion of the wiping element extending thereabove, the wiping element being operative to clean a golf club head by a sweeping movement of the head against the same.
