Embodiments of a strap assembly system for a golf bag are described herein. The strap assembly system can be converted between a single-strap configuration or a double-strap configuration. The strap assembly system comprises a first strap, a second strap, and a back puck. The back puck comprises first and second attachment openings for securing the first strap. The back puck further comprises first and second side openings that define a linear pathway and are configured to receive the second strap. The second strap can move freely along the linear pathway.

An article of footwear (100), apparel (500, 600), and/or sporting equipment (300, 400), and methods of manufacturing thereof, having a hydrogel present on at least a portion of an externally-facing side of the article. The hydrogel is effective in reducing soil accumulation on the article, and/or for reducing soil adhesion to the article.

A golf bag having an improved base is provided. The golf bag is durable, lightweight, comfortable to carry, and easy to use. The base is made of a composite sheet material, preferably a self-reinforced polymer composite sheet material that has been thermoformed. Materials made of thermoplastic polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyoxymethylene, and polyester can be processed under precise temperature and pressure conditions to form the self-reinforced polymer composite sheet material.

An apparatus for storing equipment is disclosed. The apparatus has a housing including a plurality of members configured to rotate relative to each other, about an attachment portion of the plurality of members, between a closed position forming an interior cavity and an open position, an assembly attached to the housing and configured to rotate relative to the housing, a shaping member attached to one of the plurality of members and configured to rotate relative to the one of the plurality of members, and at least one aperture extending through the one of the plurality of members. The shaping member is configured to removably receive the equipment.

A golf putter head assembly includes a putter head and a two-part hosel detachably mounted to the putter head by a single removable fastener. The two-part hosel includes a lower intermediate connector extending upwardly from the putter head, and an upper shaft connector extending upwardly from the intermediate connector. The fastener extends through a crown-to-sole through-bore formed in the putter head, through a longitudinal through-bore formed in the intermediate connector, and into a blind bore formed in a lower member of the shaft connector. An upper member of the shaft connector is mountable to a putter shaft. The upper member is angled relative to the lower member to define a shaft-head lie angle, and is offset from the lower member to define a shaft-head offset distance. The intermediate connector has a selected length that establishes a shaft-head balance characteristic. A kit and a method are also disclosed.

Described herein is a golf bag with a deployable stand assembly and anti-tangle features that prevent clubs from tangling within the golf bag, and in particular, prevent golf club grips from crossing over and other and making it difficult to pull out a particular club. Because multiple golf clubs are often placed together in a single golf bag, the golf clubs can get in each other's way. Golf clubs can tangle if their shafts or grips crisscross within the bag. Club tangle is typically caused by movement of the club grips, while the clubs are stored in the bag. When clubs are tangled, it becomes hard to remove a single golf club without either facing resistance or pulling a second club out. Golf clubs are typically placed head-up in a golf bag, resulting in the golf club grips sitting in the base of the bag. During a golf round, fabric portions of the bag can crumple, especially near the base, restricting the available area for the golf clubs. The area restriction can shift the grips and aggravate entanglement. The golf bag described herein comprises features that alleviate club tangle by preserving grip and shaft positions during bag use.
