ABSTRACT:
A golf bag umbrella attached to the side of a golf bag for protecting the open end of the bag and golf clubs therein from the elements. The umbrella includes an articulated shaft, pivoted and locked by a button latch located above a lower end handle grip on the shaft. The umbrella ribs may be overbuilt to provide a strengthened umbrella that resists being everted in a moderate to strong wind. The umbrella may be removed and pivoted against the ground by a single hand of the user. The umbrella is readily attached to and removed from the bag by use of a pair of spring clips or clamps. During play in inclement weather, the golfer may use the umbrella conventionally, to protect himself, and then clip the open umbrella onto the bag, to protect the bag while taking a shot or stroke, and then readily detach the umbrella from the bag for protection, as the golfer walks to the ball to take another stroke. Also, with the umbrella clipped to the bag while taking a stroke, the umbrella will not blow away in the wind, as often happens with conventional umbrellas.
