Abstract:
1. A method of applying a protective cover to a golf club having a head and a shaft extending from the club head, said method comprising the steps of, in combination: obtaining a protective cover including a thin polymeric film for covering and closely conforming to the shape of at least a portion of the golf club head and a layer of adhesive for adhering the thin polymeric film to the golf club head; securing a tensioning device to the protective cover to tension at least a portion of the protective cover and starting to secure the protective cover to the golf club head while the tensioning device is secured to the protective cover; wherein the tensioning device includes an opening for the shaft of the golf club; securing the protective cover to the golf club head with the adhesive layer while stretching the thin polymeric film to remove wrinkles so that the protective cover closely conforms to the golf club head; removing the tensioning device from the protective cover after the protective cover is at least partly secured to the golf club head; and cutting off excess portions of the protective cover so that the protective cover covers a desired portion of the golf club head.
