Abstract
A golf bag includes a putter storage compartment which is separate from a main golf club storage compartment and is disposed in an elongated pocket which is normally provided on golf bags and is commonly referred to as a clothing pocket. A partition within the clothing pocket separates the putter storage compartment from the remaining storage area of the clothing pocket. A top fitting having an axial bore is provided in the top panel of the clothing pocket above the putter storage compartment to allow the putter shaft to be inserted and removed from the putter storage compartment. The lower end of the putter storage compartment has an opening formed therein and a baffle is provided which partially restricts that opening to keep the grip end of the putter shaft from falling through the opening. The baffle also serves as a drain for water which may enter the putter storage compartment through the open top thereof. In one embodiment, an elongated tube contains the putter shaft and extends from the top fitting to the bottom opening in the putter storage compartment.
