Abstract
A golf bag for carrying a set of golf clubs including woods, irons and putter with the heads of the woods and putter positioned upward and the heads of the irons positioned downward. The golf bag includes a conventional tubular body capped at its upper end by a throat plate that includes a plurality of somewhat oval shaped first openings having individually shaped peripheries sized to admit the head of only one particular iron and a plurality of second openings to admit the shafts of the woods and putter. The bag has a bottom plate that supports guide members equal in number to the plurality of first throat openings, each guide member serving to individually retain the head of one iron of the club set resting on the bottom plate. The golf bag improves weight distribution of the bag contents, keeps individual irons from coming into contact with one another, stops them from rattling, organizes them so as to make them easy to locate and mitigates damage to shafts of clubs made with graphite shafts.
