CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] NONE STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Research and development of this invention and Application have not been federally sponsored, and no rights are given under any Federal program. REFERENCE TO A MICROFICHE APPENDIX [0003] NOT APPLICABLE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] 1. Field of the Invention [0005] This invention relates to the recreational sport of golf, in general, and to the wearing of the conventional hat, cap or visor typically used by a player thereof, in particular. [0006] 2. Description of the Related Art [0007] As will well be appreciated, just about every person playing a round of golf--whether professional, amateur, or the occasional duffer--wears a hat, cap or visor during the round. Worn in an attempt to keep one's hair in place in the presence of the occasional puffs of wind which blow across a course, or to keep the glare and glint of the sun from distracting the golfer during a swing, these types of head coverings are oftentimes taken off--even if momentarily--when walking towards one's ball, when sizing up a next shot, and when walking from green to tee. Many are the times, however, that in so doing, the hat, cap or visor is forgotten, misplaced, or otherwise lost. Because of this, it is not unusual for one to walk or ride a course and see these "lost" hats, caps and visors strewn about, only to be retrieved and trashed by a grounds crew. What with "signature" hats, caps and visors becoming more expensive in identifying a wearer's identity with a premier course, club or association, many of these "owners" of lost headcoverings later rue their previous flippancies of not taking the bother to seek out and retrieve such items when first discovered that they were left about the golf course. OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION [0008] It is an object of the present invention, therefore, to provide a manner of preventing these hats, caps and visors from being momentarily "lost" to begin with. [0009] It is an object of the invention, also, to provide this manner of "loss prevention" applicable to such headcoverings as are already now owned by the public, as well as to hats, caps and visors to be manufactured and sold in the future. [0010] It is another object of the invention to provide these manners of protection to mostly all such hats, caps and visors worn just as a spectator of, or as a participant in, various athletic activities (whether they be baseball, tennis, rowing, whatever), without being limited to the game of golf. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0011] As will become clear from the following description, the present invention applies to all hats, caps and visors of fabric composition. One or more eyelets is provided--and, in accordance with the invention, at least one of the eyelets is reenforced for strength, along its extremities, so as to be able to receive in non-fraying manner a clip having a first end removably securable with the eyelet, and a second end which can be fastened to any user selected location when the hat, cap or visor is not being worn. In such an arrangement, therefore, when the hat, cap or visor is taken off, it can be clipped to a wearer's belt, or to the belt loops about a man's trousers, or to just about any place on a wearer's article of clothing. Fastenable instead to a player's pull-cart or in the basket of a riding cart, the hat, cap or visor can thereafter be disconnected, the clip removed, and the head covering put back on. [0012] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the reenforcement for the eyelet can be provided in a new manufacture through the use of a grommet added along the periphery of the eyelet. Whether the grommet be one of a rubber, metal or plastic composition, or whether the protection is to be afforded for a newly manufactured or already existing hat or cap, the clip could be secured to any of the several eyelets provided in their skull coverings included for purposes of air ventilation. In a new manufacture of a hat or cap, the eyelet for receiving the clip could be provided in a brim as well as in a skull covering, while in a new manufacture of a visor, the eyelet could be provided in the brim. In such manner, the teachings of the invention would be applicable for the wearing of visors, where no skull covering generally exists. And, as will be appreciated, the clipping to these eyelets could be had whether the hat, cap or visor is provided with a rearwardly extending strap adjustable in length for tightening when worn, or where such adjustable strap is not available. Any appropriate type of clip could be employed, and the utilization of a reenforcement of the eyelet will be seen to reduce any tendency for the long time coupling of the clip to fray the surrounding fabric in detracting from the overall appearance of the head covering worn.
