A foldable covering device for a golf bag includes an elongated housing member or tube adapted to fit within the parameters of a golf bag along with several golf clubs. The housing tube has a smooth inner surface adapted to slidably receive an elongated rigid support member or rod. The rigid support rod has an upper end to which is attached a flexible water impervious cover material or sheath having an opened end and loose side walls. The flexible cover is adapted to fit over the open end of a golf bag to prevent water in the form of rain, sleet, etc. from entering therein.

The practice putter comprises a handle, a shaft connected to the handle, a hosel connected to the shaft, and a head connected to the hosel. The head further comprises a body, a cavity formed in the body and extending horizontally therethrough, an axle having a middle portion supported in the cavity and two end portions extending beyond the cavity and the body, and two wheels attached to each respective end portion of the axle. Also utilized in this kit and method is a playing putter whose dimensions and weight are substantially identical to those of the practice putter.

An inner tube is slidably received within an outer tube. A number of tube stops and a bias or spring means are associated with the tubes. The inner elongated tube has an inner diameter sufficiently large to store the shaft of a golf club, an outer diameter sufficiently small in size to be slidably received within the inner diameter of the outer elongated tube. The arrangement of the inner and outer tubes, as well as the stops and spring means, allows for the inner tube to rise above, or out of, the outer tube once the weight of the golf club is removed. Consequently, the arrangement can be utilized not only to protect and separate golf clubs in a golf bag, but also can be used for convenient insertion of a golf club in a golf bag and as an indicator to show that a golf club is removed from the golf bag. By raising the inner tube up and out of the outer tube, one can easily visualize that the club associated with the tube is missing from the bag.
