Abstract
Abstract A cover made from a flexible material forming a canopy having an apex and a peripheral edge longer than the rim at the open end of a golf bag. A tie string anchors a section of a reinforcing strip, secured to the peripheral edge of the canopy, to the bag adjacent the rim. The remainder of the strip along the edge of the canopy serves as the border of a displaceable flap portion of the canopy so as to provide easy access to the golf bag. Weights embedded in the strip hold the flap down in enclosing relation to the open end of the golf bag.
