FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a golf club handle capable of reducing its total weight, resisting impacts and providing stable grips. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Nowadays, the living standard is generally improved, and playing golf has become an enjoyable leisure sport to the general public, and the golf sport is supported by the golf training courses established all over the places and every effort put in by related government agencies for the promotion of the game. However, it needs necessary tools to do good work. Obviously, it is some kind of know-how to select the best way to hold a golf club to maximize one's golfing technique and gain applauses from others. [0003] Please refer to FIGS. 1A and 1B for a prior art of golf club which is generally divided into wood golf club and iron golf club, and the material for making golf clubs is very hard and the grip section at an end of the club is made of a plastic material and wrapped by a long strap. Although the grip section provides an effective grip for golf players to strike a golf ball, yet the method requires a long strap for directly wrapping the surface of the grip section and irregular patterns disposed on the surface of the long strap for improving the friction for a player to grip the golf club and avoiding any slippery of the hands due to sweats. [0004] According to the foregoing prior art grip structure of the traditional golf club and its method of use, it seems the prior art has taken the stability of the grip into serious consideration and the stability also complies with the practical use. However, after its actual uses for many times, the following shortcomings are still found: [0005] 1. The grip section as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B comes with a long strap for wrapping around the grip section. Although the grip section is made of a plastic material, yet the thickness of the grip section is generally not enough to facilitate players to grip the grip section. Since the material of the club is harder, therefore a beginner may not be able to strike the golf ball successfully and thus producing an impact and a slide or even hurting the player's hand during the practice of playing the game. Such grip is definitely not the best one. [0006] 2. Since the structure of the grip section of the golf club comes with patterns or lines on the plastic surface to increase the friction of the hand grip and achieve the slippery resisting purpose, the risk of having a slip increases as the patterns or lines gradually fade out after a long-time usage. [0007] 3. In view of the drawbacks created by the structure of a grip section being wrapped by a long strap, some manufacturers have tried to add a foam resilient matter on the inter side of the long strap to wrap the long strap onto the grip section of the golf club as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B. Although such structure looks better than that of the grip section of the golf club previously described, yet when the player holds the grip section of the golf club by hands for striking the golf ball, the grip section will fall off or be loosen easily due to impacts, even though the grip section of the golf club is made of plastic materials and a foam resilient matter is added on the inter side of the long strap to increase the softness of the grip, and the long strap and the foam resilient matter are attached. Therefore, the grip section of the golf club still requires improvements. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0008] In view of the shortcomings of the aforementioned prior art grip section of the traditional golf club, the inventor of the present invention based on years of experience on related field to conduct extensive researches and experiments and finally invented a golf club handle according to the present invention. With a thin plastic layer on the internal side of a tube of the grip section of the golf club and an external layer made of a rubber foam resilient matter, the aforementioned double-layer tube not only makes the grip lighter for the golfer (by reducing weight), but also provides better impact resistance and more stable grips. [0009] The present invention is characterized in that the invention provides a lighter and more secured grip for golf players by making a grip section comprised of a thin rubber layer and an external layer of rubber foam resilient matter and wrapping a long strap around the grip section to facilitate the golfers to hold the grip section more securely. Such arrangement also allows golfers to hold the golf club to strike a golf ball with different levels of force in a golf game.

[0016] FIG. 4 is an illustrative view of the grip section being wrapped by the long strap according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [0017] To make it easier for our examiner to understand the objective of the invention, its structure, innovative features, and performance, we use a preferred embodiment and the attached drawings for the detailed description of the invention.` [0018] Please refer to FIG. 3A for the golf club handle of the present invention, which comprises a grip section 1 and a long strap 2. [0019] In FIGS. 3A and 3B, the grip section 1 has an internal layer made of a thin rubber layer 10 and an external layer made of a rubber foam resilient matter 11 to define a long tube. The grip section 1 is a long resilient tube having a through hole 12 disposed on the bottom surface of the long resilient tube for passing a golf club 3 through.
