| 1. Prosthetic device for golfing, comprising;
an elongate resilient body having an axis, a first end, a second end and a single exterior golf club support surface concave
in cross-section extending along the axis between the first end and the second end;
at least two opposed gripping members integrally formed with and extending outwardly from the body with at least one on each
of opposed sides of the golf club support surface adjacent the first end, the at least two gripping members forming a channel
co-axial with the golf club support surface which is generally C-shaped in cross-section to engage a golf club grip and prevent
movement of the golf club grip in an axial direction;
a majority of the golf club support surface being open to facilitate insertion of a golf club positioned parallel to the body
and extending past the at least two gripping members toward the second end to provide support along the golf club grip and
prevent lateral movement of the golf club grip when the golf club support surface and the golf club grip are gripped by a
user's hand; and
a coupling at the first end for securing the body to a terminal device.
