Golf bag
Abstract
Abstract A golf bag of relatively large size and having a generally tubular shape. The bag includes a pliable bag body member and substantially rigid collar and base members readily detachable from the body member preferably by means of respective slide fasteners encircling the end portions of the bag such that when it is desirable to transport the golf bag including a set of golf clubs for example in the trunk of an automobile, the collar and base members may be quickly removed so that the pliable tubular body member can then be compacted lengthwise to reduce the volume and thereby minimize the space requirements. At the desired destination, the collar and base members are reattached for normal use. The pliable tubular body may also include a soft end member permanently attached to the end of the bag body having the rigid end member connected thereto, being adapted to prevent removal of the clubs from that end even when the rigid end member is removed. Also a pliable hood permanently attached to the other end of the bag body to which is connected the collar member, may be utilized, the hood having means for providing a closable opening therein so that it can be deployed to close that end portion when the collar is removed. In another embodiment a separate pliable travel hood and/or soft base member connectable to the bag in place of the removed rigid collar and base member may be utilized.
