Partners Club members are passionate about golf, and that has led a few entrepreneurs to create, patent and market products for the game.While they may not be mentioned in the same breath as the metalwood or solid-core golf ball, the products have found a niche.

Searching for a solution to worn, slick grips, Life Member Westy Foss, of Cary, IL developed Gotta-Grip, a polymer filled tube that slides over the grip, restoring new-grip feel. "After the initial idea, it was a matter of tracking down the elements to fashion the tube delivery system with the right polymer inside," said Foss, who got the idea in 1991 after the grips on a new set of clubs quickly became worn. "After many frustrating experiments, I finally developed the forerunner to our current model and made my first prototypes by hand in my home."

[Gotta-Grip had] received the Partners Club Member Tested Seal of Approval from hundreds of Club members.

Gotta-Grip conforms to USGA standards and retails for $19.95. For more information, go to gottagrip.com
