A golf bag is disclosed that includes base formed of a flexible material, such as a polymer foam material. The base is formed as a one-piece element, and the base may be flexible such that the golf bag is supportable in an upright position or an inclined position. A flexion line may be formed in the base to promote flexing or pivoting in a specific area, and wear elements may be added to an exterior surface of the base to impart wear-resistance.

Golf bag base

A strap for carrying an article is disclosed and includes a foam element having identations in an outer surface of the foam element. A fluid-filled bladder is positioned within the identations such that a combination of the foam element and the bladder provides cushioning when carrying the article. A resilient cover may be positioned over the bladder to prevent movement of the bladder away from the foam element, and the bladder and foam element may be located within a void formed by a sheath. The foam element may include protrusions located opposite the indentations.
