A system for a bicycle or other vehicle to carry a golf bag, such as to, from, and on a golf course, in which the system can facilitate its use and transportation of the golf bag, such as by providing adjustability (e.g., to adjust how the golf bag is positioned), stability (e.g., to properly distribute weight and/or adapt to irregularity, softness, and/or other conditions of a ground surface), and/or other benefits.

A storage unit intended for mounting on the rear of a golf cart type vehicle is designed to protrude from the rear of the golf cart to provide more storage space. The storage unit is further designed to be removable, and may be subdivided with movable partitions. Several features are described for its attachment onto the rear of the golf cart in different ways, including specific types of attachments and frameworks for use with and without rear shelf wells on the golf cart. These are designed for greater security in holding the storage unit onto the golf cart, and include adjustable or removable bottom protrusions for use with a rear shelf well, or the attachment frame system without a rear shelf well. In addition, a system is described to allow greater interior volume in the storage unit by stepping the side of the unit which faces the rear of the golf card.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for and a method of controlling the travel and positioning of a golf bag carrier and assisting the golfer during his or her round of golf. The carrier could be a golf bag carrier of the kind typically driven by a golfer, a separate golf bag cart or a combination of both carriers. The inventive apparatus and method described herein controls the movement of the golf bag carrier without the need for the golfer to control all of the movement of the carrier and/or to walk with a corresponding device. Further, carriers that include the physical elements of the present invention have access to various details about the golf course, its surroundings and the golfer and can use information provided from such physical elements to navigate the golf course and provide the golfer with useful information that assist in the golfer's play.
