Abstract

A golf glove (70) and watch (72) combination (74) uses a conventional golf glove (70) without modification. Strap (76) of the watch (72) feeds through retaining slots (78) on watch cases (80) and has Velcro hooks (82) on its surface facing away from the watch case (80). The strap (76) extends partly around flap (84) of the glove (70), so that ends (86) of the strap (76) engage Velcro loops (87) on the underside of the flap (84). The golf glove (70) has a pad (88) of Velcro hooks (90) beneath the flap (84) for mating engagement of the Velcro loops (87) on the underside of the flap (84). When the flap (84) is pressed against the pad (88) so that the Velcro loops (87) and hooks (90) engage with ends (86) of the strap (76) in place, the watch ( 72) is held securely in place.
