Abstract
A golf bag is provided with a throat structure disposed in an open top end of a generally tubular body with the throat structure having an opening formed therethrough that is divided into an open portion and an offset portion which is closed at its upper end. An elongated stay is located in a longitudinal position inside the tubular body, and the stay is inserted therein by moving it downwardly through the open portion of the throat structure opening. A retainer clip is removably mounted in the throat structure opening to retain an upper end of the stay in the offset portion of the opening. Removal of the stay may be accomplished by removing the retainer clip from the throat structure opening which allows movement of the stay upper end from the offset portion into the open portion so that the stay may be removed through the throat structure opening.
