The present invention relates to a golf bag equipped with an openable top frame disposed at the top of the bag. The top frame includes an annular frame body having at least one hole in its central region, which provides communication between the internal area of the golf bag and the external space. Additionally, the frame body is formed with an opening that allows a golf club to be inserted into the hole. The golf bag further includes a bag body divided into a narrow-diameter section and a wide-diameter section according to its inner diameter. An openable device is installed on one side of the bag body, extending from the top to the bottom, to control access to the interior. The top frame is positioned above this device, and its opening is aligned with it on the same side.

A carrier assembly for holding golf clubs has a substantially trapezoidal elongate case with housings for holding golf clubs on the outside of each side wall. The case has a pair of doors 312 giving access to the interior shelves 342 and side pockets 312 for storage of golfing accessories and spare clothing etc. Each door is L-shaped and can include one or more housings on the exterior of each door, and side pockets 312 on the inside. Additional storage is provided by pivoted lid 50, adjacent handle 6.

The present disclosure provides a bag assembly comprising a first bag with a first connector configuration, a second bag with a second connector configuration that is different than the first connector configuration, and an adapter strap configured to couple the first bag and the second bag to form a self-stabilizing bag assembly. The adapter strap may comprise an asymmetric strap comprising a first connector or a first set of connectors disposed on a first side of the adapter strap and a second connector or a second set of connectors disposed on a second side of the adapter strap.

The present disclosure provides a bag comprising an elongated body configured to receive golf equipment; a protective cover configured to extend along a back side of the elongated body and around a bottom edge of the elongated body towards a front side of the elongated body, the protective cover comprising a recessed portion formed along a back side of the protective cover; one or more wheels integrated with the protective cover; and a leg assembly pivotably coupled to the protective cover. The leg assembly may comprise (i) a leg member, (ii) an additional wheel disposed on a distal end of the leg member, and (iii) a foot pedal provided along the leg member. The foot pedal may be configured to release the leg member so that the leg member can pivot towards a recessed portion of the protective cover.

An example golf bag including a top cuff including a circular recess in an exterior surface of the top cuff, the circular recess including a through hole, wherein the top cuff has a top cuff hand width (W.sub.TC-HAND) greater than 75 mm. The golf bag may also include a knuckle including an interior knuckle boss at least partially housed inside the circular recess, the knuckle boss including a through hole aligned with the through hole of the circular recess; and a leg-receiving portion. The golf bag may further include a leg connected to the leg receiving portion of the knuckle; a fastener extending through the through hole of the knuckle boss and the through hole of the circular recess; and an actuator handle coupled to the top cuff and in contact with the knuckle, wherein downward pressure applied to the actuator handle causes the knuckle to rotate about the fastener, wherein rotation of the knuckle causes the leg to deploy into an expanded state.
