I have made a few of my own, and although they aren't pretty they are very functional.I get old golf clubs from the local good
will stores.Then I get 3/8" round stock from Lowe's for about $3 a piece. I get the clubs for about $1-$2 each ( last time the lady gave me like 15 of them for $10) and I can get enough pieces out of stick of round stock to make 3 hooks.I ground the ends of my hooks flat to make it easier to get them under heavy bodies,so I really should paint them to keep them from oxidizing. I use an angle grinder to cut alternating notches in the shaft part of the hook that goes into the shaft of the club after I cut the head off.Then I fill the end of the golf club shaft with a 2 part epoxy resin (AKA JB weld) and let them set over night and there you have it.The old golf clubs can be had a LOT of places for cheap: goodwill,craigslist,garage sales, want ads, etc.
