Claim:
A cart for supporting a golf bag and clubs therein in a vertically upright condition upon an underlying surface, said cart comprising: a carriage for accommodating the golf bag; a pair of axially aligned forward wheels which are axially rotatably connected to said carriage and at least one rearward wheel that is swivelably and rotatably mounted to said carriage, each said wheel being rotatably engagable with the underlying surface; said carriage including a base for engaging the bottom of the golf bag and a support frame extending upwardly from the base and carrying at least one upper holder above the base for engaging a bag placed on said base such that the bag is held in a vertically upright condition; and a handle attached to and extending rearwardly from said frame, whereby applying a generally horizontal pushing or pulling force to said handle causes said cart to move over the underlying surface on said wheels while the bag and clubs are maintained in the vertically upright condition; at least one of said wheels being carried by a strut that is connected to said frame, said strut being alternatable between an open condition wherein said wheel attached to said strut is deployed for moving on the underlying surface and a collapsed condition wherein said wheel attached to said strut is retracted for storage of said cart.
