v.This Iiiiventioiiis aiifartijele for use ofA golf players as, a pocket lc'onvenience land oom-V prises `a receptacle' for tees' andinatches.

An ohjectjof vthe invention is=to Aprovide a receptacle that is of flight Weight, compact? .and capable o'fbeing made eitherof-Vsoft Vmaterial or of inflexible' material, the construction being such that ,in either casethe tees Will l:not accidentally come vloose'and the`r ymatches or other varticlesfwill stayin place untily needed, notwithstanding the `receptacle has noretaiiiingcover for that purpose.

lThis invention is al continuation inpart of thejinveiitiondescribed andclaimedin my CO-pending application, SerialvNoL 144,055,

and includes a. novel dev-ice for 'releasably holding the tee in.l its pocket or hole, preventing` its `becoming accidentally loosened.

or jarred out, yet permitting it to'be readily Withdrawn Without `sticking Vfor creating a .suction effect-that Would'yinterfere'with its removal. r Y I y .-Furtlierinore, the teefretainingdevice is so constructed that it Willfbeeifective Whether.

the receptacle ismade of soft iiexiblerubber or 'of :hard material, such as cast aluminum.

Another Objectis to provide avpoelret for.'
