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 generally tubular body having a substantially uniform cross section along its entire length and a plurality of elongated longitudinally extending compartments formed of flat panels which define an open upper end of each compartment. Each compartment and its associated upper opening has an individually shaped periphery sized to admit the head of only one particular iron. The bag has a bottom plate that supports the heads of the irons and the grip ends of each wood and putter. 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 while mitigating possible damage to the shafts of clubs made with graphite shafts.
