Abstract
A golf bag with a generally tubular body has a shoulder strap which allows a golfer to pick up the golf bag from the ground without bending over. The body has an open top end and an annular groove spaced from the open top end. A lower end of the shoulder strap is positioned within the annular groove, and a pair of attachment straps extend from the lower end of the shoulder strap. The attachment straps are disposed within the annular groove when they are wrapped around the body in opposite directions. A buckle connects the attachment straps to each other so that the shoulder strap is held in a standing position where it extends laterally from the body. Stiffener means may be provided at the lower end of the shoulder strap to maintain the shoulder strap in the standing position.
