Abstract:
1. A golf glove, comprising: a glove member including an opening for receiving a wearer's hand; a closure system engaged with the glove member, wherein the closure system includes a flap component including a first portion of a fastener engaged at a first side of the opening and a second portion of the fastener engaged at a second side of the opening; a base member including an outer perimeter and a flange, wherein the base member is engaged with the flap component; a mount area defining a first base surface located at or within the outer perimeter of the base member, wherein the mount area includes at least one feature selected from the group consisting of: (a) the mount area defines a first receptacle for receiving a magnet or a ferromagnetic material, (b) the mount area is at least partially made from a magnet, and (c) the mount area is at least partially made from a ferromagnetic material; at least two retaining walls extending from the mount area above the first base surface and located at or within the outer perimeter of the base member, wherein interior surfaces of the retaining walls and the first base surface define a golf ball marker receptacle having an inner perimeter, and wherein the flange of the base member extends outside of the at least two retaining walls and is located adjacent a lower portion of the flap component, flap component, wherein the flange includes at least one opening defined through it, wherein the at least one opening extends in an elongated manner adjacent an outer perimeter of the flange; and a golf ball marker removably receivable in the golf ball marker receptacle, wherein the golf ball marker has an outer perimeter, wherein the at least two retaining walls are dispersed around the outer perimeter of the golf ball marker and located so as to closely fit around the outer perimeter of the golf ball marker, wherein a combined total perimeter length of the interior surfaces of the retaining walls extends less than 50% of the outer perimeter of the golf ball marker, wherein the first base surface includes a planar portion that extends less than an entire interior area of the inner perimeter such that the planar portion does not extend to at least some portion of the inner perimeter, and wherein the golf ball marker is removably securable to the mount area by magnetic forces.
