Abstract

A combined golf bag and cart includes a bag for housing golf clubs, and a collapsible wheel support structure attached to the bag. When the wheel support structure is extended, and a pair of wheels are attached thereto, the combined golf bag and cart is configured as a cart for being rolled around a golf course. The cart can be compacted and converted into a bag by detaching the wheels from the support structure, stacking them coaxially on a top opening of the bag, and collapsing the wheel support structure. When stacked, the lower wheel includes open opposite ends and spokes through which the clubs extend. The top wheel includes one open end through which the clubs extend, and a closed end that serves as a top closure, so that the clubs are completely enclosed by the bag and the wheels.
