FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention showing a golfer with both an open and closed compact golf set in use. The closed case is styled like a briefcase and can have a hard or soft exterior surface. When opened the primary contents remain secured within the receptacles and contents provided. Golf club heads are in individually matched receptacles, while short and long club handle and club shaft assemblies are secured in matched channels. A short club assembly is held by the golfer with the putter head being used in such assembly.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the present invention, which more closely shows the open carrying case and the manner which the primary contents are fully displayed and readily accessed. The matched receptacles and club heads are represented, along with the club handle and club shaft channels, and the golf ball and tee compartment. The divided golf shoe compartment is illustrated, as well as, an additional compartment for other golf accessories, such as a golf towel.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the open carrying case and contents, with the club heads, club shafts and club handles, shown in position for coupling, whereby the long club assembly and the short club assembly will be formed. Couplings are accomplished by threaded portions on the club heads, club shafts, and club handles, along with a threaded sleeve on each club shaft which forms a second coupling of the club shaft and club handle, the sleeve threads being reverse from the other threaded couplings.

FIG. 5 is a closer perspective view of the club shaft and club handle coupling, both before and after, which is representative of that couple on both the long club assembly and the short club assembly. The position change of the threaded sleeve is depicted, as it moves beyond the end of the club shaft to couple with the appropriate threads on the club handle.

FIGURE 6

FIG. 6 is a closer perspective view of the club shaft and club head coupling, both before and after, which is representative of that couple on both the long club assembly and the short club assembly. The relationship of the club head vertical portion length and horizontal portion length is evident, the vertical portion length being reduced such that the space requirement for the club head in the carrying case is maximized. For the right-hand club head this threaded coupling has left-hand threads. For the left-hand club head this threaded coupling has right-hand threads.

FIGURE 7

FIG. 7 is an additional perspective view of the open carrying case and the primary contents, showing a reduced width compartment for the golf balls and golf tees, the width chosen such that the sides of the compartment secure both the golf balls and golf tees within such compartment.
