CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] Not Applicable STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not Applicable REFERENCE TO A MICROFICHE APPENDIX [0003] Not Applicable BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] This harness is designed for use on a golf course, where a golfer needs to carry or pull his/her golf bag containing clubs and necessary accoutrements to play the game. [0005] Carrying golf bags applies stress to the human body, especially the upper torso and spine. This stress may affect the ability to accurately swing a golf club and inhibit effectiveness of the golfer and consequently, enjoyment of the game. [0006] Pulling or pushing a golf cart designed to hold the golf bag occupies one or both hands and interrupts the natural stride or gait of the human body. When the hips and legs swing while walking, the shoulders and arms naturally swing in counterbalance to the hips and legs. Anchoring one or both arms to a cart reduces the free motion of the upper body and disrupts the gait. [0007] Riding in a golf cart, onto which a golfer has placed his golf bag, reduces the exercise offered by the sport. Using a motorized pull cart is more expensive than a manual pull cart. [0008] This invention allows a golfer to benefit from the exercise and enjoyment of walking the golf course and the economy of using a pull cart while playing, without unnecessarily stressing his/her body. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0009] This harness is a devise for towing a golfer's pull cart. One end of the harness attaches to the handle of various types of pull carts and the other end around the golfer's waist or hips and is adjustable for waist/hip size. It attaches and detaches with ease, quickly accommodating the demands of stopping to hit a golf shot, followed by walking to the ball to hit again. Between the two ends is an adjustable strap, which can accommodate different pull cart dimensions, handles and balance characteristics and golfers' height and stride length. This apparatus leaves the golfer's torso, shoulders and arms able to move freely while walking between shots on the golf course. BRIEF DESRCIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING [0010] FIG. 1 is a view of both sides of Part One of the Harness, (which attaches the Harness to the handle of the golfer's pull cart) including the labeled components of Part One. [0011] FIG. 2 is a compressed view of Part Two of the Harness, (which attaches the Harness to the golfer's waist) including the labeled components of Part Two. [0012] FIG. 3 is a view of Part Three of the Harness, (which attaches Part One to Part Two and adjusts for various pull cart and golfers' characteristics) including the labeled components of Part Three. [0013] FIG. 4 is a view of the fully assembled Harness, labeling the three parts comprising the Harness. [0014] FIG. 5 is a view of the Harness in use with a golfer and pull cart, including a golf bag mounted on the pull cart. [0015] FIG. 6 is a close-up of the Harness in use featuring the Harness attachment to the golfer and the handle of the pull cart. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0016] The device is easily manufactured by sewing nylon webbed strapping onto plastic and metal fasteners and rings, including hook and loop fastening apparatus. The harness is constructed of three parts, which are affixed to one another. [0017] Part One provides a means by which the harness attaches to the pull cart (FIG. 1). It includes a 12-inch length of one-inch wide nylon strap (`A`). One end of the nylon strap is passed through a metal D-ring (`B`) and folded back, overlapping 1.5 inches and sewn fast to itself. The entire side of the strap with the overlapped section is covered (by sewing), with 5/8ths-inch wide hook material (the `male` portion of hook and loop fastener, `C`). On the other surface of this strap is sewn a three-inch strip of the loop material (the `female` portion of hook and loop fastener, `D`) at the D-ring end of the strap. Continue reading...
