ABSTRACT:
An asymmetrical golf bag is provided. According to one aspect of the present invention, the golf bag includes a top located at an upper portion of the golf bag and a base located at a lower portion of the golf bag. Additionally, the golf bag additionally includes a body coupled between the top and the base. Further, a stand is mounted to the top and the base at an off center position. According to another aspect of the present invention, the top has an asymmetrical shape about two perpendicular axes. The asymmetrical top may additionally include a pair of corresponding halves defined by a longitudinal axis. The right half may have a convex shape designed to comfortably cradle the small of a golfer's back. The left half may have a concave shape to increase the volume of a pocket, such as a clothing pocket or a ball pocket. The asymmetrical top may additionally include one or more integral dividers. The dividers slope downward from the left half of the golf bag top to the right half to encourage the clubs to gather in a position close to the golfer's center of gravity when the golf bag is being carried. According to yet another aspect of the present invention, the base has an asymmetrical shape about two perpendicular axes. In addition, the base may include an off center, bi-planar cut away portion including two intersecting planes coupled by a radius to facilitate engagement of the off center mounted stand mechanism.
