Abstract
Abstract This invention is a combination golf club head cover and hand warmer. The head cover stays on the head of the golf club to protect the same except when the club is being used. In the present case, the cover fits on the longest club which is the one the golfers traditionally rest their hand on when carrying their clubs in a golf bag. During cold weather the hand of the golfer can be slipped into the handwarming pocket or pouch to eliminate the need for taking gloves or mittens on and off during play while at the same time keeping the hand warm and ready to play.
