Claim:
A golf bag carrying device comprising: a) a two-piece interlocking platform assembly; b) interlocking means for said platform assembly; and c) means for securing and retaining a golf bag on said platform assembly; wherein said platform assembly comprises: d) a slotted platform having a receiving means; and e) a mating tongue platform; wherein said slotted platform is substantially hollow with said receiving means oriented towards the tongue platform: wherein the tongue of said tongue platform is sized accordingly to fit into said slot; wherein said tongue slides within said slot to extend and retract the length of said platform assembly accordingly; wherein said tongue platform has a multisided vertical carrier wall disposed on the distal end thereof with the medially oriented portion open to accept a golf bag; wherein said slotted platform has a multisided vertical carrier wall disposed on the distal end thereof with the medially oriented portion open to accept a golf bag; wherein each said carrier wall further includes at least one strap support eyelet exteriorly disposed thereon; further including a strap that serves to clamp the two opposing carrier walls against the base of the golf bag to secure and retain it therein; wherein said strap passes through said strap support eyelets to maintain it in a pre-determined horizontal plane when secured; wherein said strap further includes an adjustable strap buckle thereby enabling the user to adjust and secure said platform assembly to accommodate various sized golf bags; wherein said wheeled platform assembly includes a pair of wheels disposed on one platform section and a leg member on the opposing platform section; wherein said wheels are disposed on said slotted platform and said leg member is disposed on said tongue platform; wherein said golf bag is installed with its handle disposed oriented towards said wheels; wherein the user moves said wheeled platform assembly and the associated golf bag by pulling on the golf bag handle/strap to raise said leg to transfer the weight to said wheels and pulling it to the desired location; whereupon reaching the desired location the user tilts said golf bag back to a substantially vertical position until resting on said leg until ready to move again; wherein said wheels rotate on an axle extending from said carrier wall of said slotted platform; wherein said axle further includes interiorly disposed wheel spacers to provide a wider wheel base for additional stability; and wherein said tongue platform includes at least one rail member and said slot includes an interiorly disposed mating track for each said rail member.
