     Other objects of this invention will in part be obvious and in part will be hereinafter pointed out. 
     The invention accordingly comprises features of construction, combinations of elements and arrangements of parts which will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter described, and of which the scope of application will be indicated in the following claims. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     This invention resides in a portable golf set for a disassemblable golf club comprising a case adapted for removable attachment to the golfer having means for holding interchangeable heads, tees and golf balls and the parts of the shaft.

     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
     With reference to the drawing, there is shown and illustrated a demountable golf club and case therefor constructed in accordance with the principles of the invention and designated generally by reference character 10. The illustrated tangible embodiment of the invention includes a metal shaft 12, no longer than 331/4 inches, formed of two sections 14, 16 with section 14 having a threaded opening in its lower end 18 in which is received the threaded upper end 20 of section 16. The lower end of section 16 has a hollow part in which is received the shaft 22 of interchangeable head 24. As shown in FIG. 2, head 24 is a 9 iron. However, head 24 can assume any shape or configuration since it is intended to represent wood, iron and putter heads. In FIG. 1, head 24 thus is a 5 iron. Springs 25 in shaft 22 engage slots 27 in section 16. The parts 14 and 16 of shaft 12 and the three heads 24 are carried in a plastic or canvas case 26 shown in FIG. 4. Case 26 has a plurality of elastic vertical loops 28 in which are held shafts 22 of the interchangeable heads 24. Horizontal loops 30 are also fixed in case 26 which hold sections 14 and 17 of shaft 12. On each end of case 26 are secured containers 32 which hold balls and tees. A pair of resilient 13/4 to 2 inch long plastic clips 34 or other suitable fastenings are secured to case 26 for attaching it to the clothes or belt of a golfer. 
     The assembly of the invention is particularly designed for a par-3 course. It eliminates the need of a caddy or cart. 
     The operation and use of the invention hereinabove described will be evident to those skilled in the art to which it relates from a consideration of the foregoing. 
     The present invention is believed to accomplish among others all of the objects and advantages herein set forth. 
     Without further analysis, the foregoing will so fully reveal the gist of this invention that those skilled in the art can by applying current knowledge thereto readily adapt it for various applications without omitting certain features which can constitute essential characteristics of the generic or specific aspects of this invention. Therefore, a more lengthy description is deemed unnecessary. 
     It is intended that various changes may be made in this invention in the practical development thereof, if desired. Such changes are comprehended within the meaning and range of equivalency of the following claims. The invention, therefore, is not to be restricted except as is necessitated by the prior art.
