ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a new and useful apparatus for use in carrying, organizing, and protecting golf clubs. The golf club carrying apparatus of the present invention combines secure retention and segregation of the clubs, with a unique, streamlined design. These features facilitate protection of the shafts and heads of the clubs, identification of the presence or absence of a particular club, and prevention of unwanted shifting of the clubs. The present invention incorporates a substantially elliptically-shaped perimeter which has been found to maximize the functionality and sleekness of the apparatus. The golf club carrying apparatus includes both a golf bag body and a tiered retaining apparatus. The golf bag body forms a receptacle for carrying golf clubs, and the tiered retaining assembly secures and protects the clubs. The tiered retaining assembly includes an upper tier, an intermediate tier, and a lower tier. The upper tier serves to retain and protect the woods, especially the head portion, by slanting outwardly and downwardly. The intermediate tier facilitates easy access to the putter. The lower tier houses the irons in a distinct arrangement, organized according to the angle of each particular iron.
