Claim:
A golf bag and travel system for providing a multi-component, modular golf bag that enables golf clubs to be carried therein, the system comprising: a rigid inner body core, wherein the rigid inner body core includes a rigid top loop region, a rigid central loop region, a rigid bottom end, and a rigid belly region that connects the top loop region, the central loop region, and the bottom end; wherein a cross-sectional area of the central loop region is smaller than a cross-sectional area of the top loop region, wherein the cross-sectional area of the central loop region is smaller than a cross-sectional area of the bottom end; wherein the rigid inner body core further includes a flexible mesh in the non-belly region of the rigid inner body core that connects the top loop region to the central loop region and that connects the central loop region to the bottom end of the system; wherein the top loop region and the central loop region of the inner body core are hollow and each contain a hollow opening, thereby enabling golf clubs to be placed through the hollow openings in the top loop region and central loop region of the rigid inner body core; and a plurality of modular, interchangeable, soft outer body members, wherein each soft outer body member is selectively attachable to the top loop region, bottom end, and belly region of the inner body core, wherein each soft outer body member is shaped and sized to be selectively attachable, one soft outer body member at a time, to the correspondingly shaped and sized rigid inner body core; wherein each soft outer body member includes one or more storage areas.
