Abstract
Abstract An insertable liner for golf bags consisting of a rectangular sheet of material which is flexible but self-supporting, and which is rolled to form a tube of predetermined diameter. The liner is adjustable in size to permit it to define an annular space within the golf bag into which golf clubs can be placed. The liner has specific application with golf bags in which each golf club has its own placement tube, the liner serving to peripherally space the individual tubes and maintain them in a desired relative position.
