Abstract
Abstract A golf accessory holder is made rectangular from a metal plate. A magnet is attached to the plate with a rivet. Two pole pieces are bent outward from the plate to protect the magnet and to hold a golf tool. Two fingers in the middle of the plate hold a marker disc. Two tee clips hold tees with a stop bent from the plate to align them. Belt clips on the back of the plate are provided to hold the plate to the belt of the golfer.

A golf accessories holder comprising: a. a flat rectangular iron plate having: i. a front face, ii. a back face, iii. a right side edge, iv. a left side edge, v. a top edge, and vi. a bottom edge, vii. the side edges being shorter than the top and bottom edges, b. two marker fingers, each having a distal end and struck outwardly from the plate, c. said marker fingers extending parallel to the sides and generally parallel to the front face, d. a marker disc firmly held between the fingers and the front face, e. a spike on the marker disc extending coaxially from the disc, f. said spike extending between the two fingers, g. the distal ends of the fingers are bent outward away from the front face, h. a tab on the left side edge of the plate bent toward the front face to form an edge magnetic pole piece, j. an interior magnetic pole piece struck from the plate and bent outward from the front face, k. said interior pole piece is parallel to the edge pole piece, m. a magnet having two poles attached to the front face, n. one pole of the magnet adjacent one pole piece, and the other pole adjacent the other pole piece, o. said pole pieces extending from the front face further than the magnet, p. a golf tool magnetically attached to the plate by direct contact to the two pole pieces, q. an outboard tee clip and an inboard tee clip, r. each tee clip made of a resilient metal of less thickness than the thickness of the plate s. each clip includes a back plate which is flat against the front face of the plate, t. each clip has two wings, u. each wing extends outward from the front face, v. the wings are concave on the interior surface, w. the outboard clip attached to the front face of the plate welded to the front face of the plate with the outboard clip adjacent to the right edge of the plate, x. the inboard clip welded to the front face of the plate spaced from and parallel to the outboard clip, y. a tab on the bottom edge of the plate, z. said tab bent outward so it extends at right angles to the front face and forms a stop, aa. a tee in each clip with one end of the tee resting against the stop, bb. a wide belt clip is formed from a tab of metal having a distal tip which extends from the top edge adjacent to the right side edge, cc. the wide belt clip having a distal tip bent down parallel to the back face with the distal tip thereof turned away from the back face, dd. a slot in the wide belt clip immediately behind the back plate of the outboard tee clip, and ee. a narrow belt clip formed from a tab having a distal tip which extends from top edge adjacent to the left side edge, ff. the narrow belt clip is parallel to the back face, and the distal tip thereof is bent outward and away from the back face.
