An iron type golf club head includes a body having a front face arranged for impact with a golf ball, a back face, a heel portion and toe portion. A perimeter weighting element protrudes rearwardly from the front face and defines a primary cavity in the back face of the body. The perimeter weighting element includes a top rail and a sole which extend between the body heel and toe portions along an upper portion and a lower portion, respectively, of the body. An interior wall extends from a first end located adjacent the body heel portion through the primary cavity between the top rail and the sole to a second end located adjacent the body toe portion. The interior wall defines a secondary cavity within the primary cavity, and a weight adjustment member is disposed in the secondary cavity. The weight adjustment member is selected from a plurality of weight adjustment members and is used to overcome manufacturing tolerances and to adjust golf club swingweights.

A dual strap arrangement for golf bags includes a first shoulder strap (20) having an upper end (24) attached to a generally tubular body (11) of a golf bag (10) at a first location (26) proximate a top end (12) of the body (11) and a lower end (28) attached to the tubular body (11) at a second location (30) generally intermediate the body top end (12) and a bottom end (14) of the body (11). The first location (26) is on one side of a spinal axis (15) that extends longitudinally between the body top and bottom ends (12, 14), and the second location (30) is on the other side of the spinal axis (15) so that a straight line (27) extending between the first and second locations (26, 30) traverses the spinal axis (15). A second shoulder strap (22) has upper and lower ends (32, 34) attached to the body (11) at third and fourth locations (36, 38), respectively. The third location (36) is circumferentially spaced from the first location (26) but it is on the same side of the spinal axis (15) as the second location (30), and the fourth location (38) is circumferentially spaced from the second location (30) but it is on the same side of the spinal axis (15) as the first location (26) so that a straight line (37) extending between the third and fourth locations (36, 38) also traverses the spinal axis (15). When the golf bag (10) is carried by a person with the first shoulder strap (20) looped over one shoulder and the second shoulder strap (22) looped over the other shoulder, the shoulder straps (20, 22) are arranged to cross each other at an intersection point (48) and form an X-shaped pattern (50) on the person's back.
