A device for securing a set of golf clubs in a bag is disclosed, in which a flat plate is provided having four generally parallel tongues defining three slots which are closed at one end of the plate and open at the opposite end. Each slot is slightly wider than a narrow region of the golf club shafts, and is substantially longer than its width, so that a group of golf clubs can be laterally inserted in series. A generally U-shaped arm is pivotally attached at one of its ends to one of the two outermost tongues, so as to be pivotable between an open position, in which clubs can be inserted in the slots, and an engaged position in which the arm closes the slot openings, securing the clubs in the device. Holes are provided in the other end of the arm and the other one of the plate\s outermost tongues, which overlap when the plate and arm are in the engaged position, allowing a padlock shackle to lock the two pieces together. One end of a long cable is attached to the plate, the other end having a loop which hangs free when the device is not in use. The device may thus be locked to another object, such as a tree or pole, by wrapping the cable around the object and connecting the loop and the two overlapping ends of the device with the padlock shackle.

A security device for releasably securing a plurality of golf clubs therein, each golf club having a head disposed at the end of a shaft, the shaft having a narrow region near the head and a wider region farther from the head, the device comprising: a plate and arm shaped for cooperative engagement so that, when arranged in an engaged position, portions of their respective perimeters mutually define a through-cut slot closed at each end for securing the club shafts, the length of the slot being substantially greater than its width and the width of the slot being greater than a single club\s narrow region and less than a single club\s wider region; said plate and arm each having a first connecting portion and a second connection portion, said first connecting portions each having a hole defined therein for receiving a padlock shackle and aligned in opposed relationship with the hole of the other when said plate and arm are arranged in said engaged position; said plate comprising a plurality of tongues connected at one end of the plate and extending therefrom so as to define a number of said slots equal to one less than the number of tongues, said arm connecting the ends of at least two of said tongues when arranged in said engaged position; and means for joining said second connecting portions when said plate and arm are arranged in said engaged position.
