## Abstract

According to the invention, a golf bag is disclosed. The golf bag may include a frame and a removable cover. The frame may include a top member at a top most portion of the frame, and a bottom member at a bottom most portion of the frame. The removable cover may include a central portion, a first coupling member, and a second coupling member. The first coupling member may be coupled with at least a portion of a top of the central portion. The second coupling member may be coupled with at least a portion of a bottom of the central portion. The first coupling member may be reversibly coupled with a top most portion of the top member. The second coupling member may be reversibly coupled with a bottom most portion of the bottom member.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A container, wherein the container comprises:
a frame, wherein:
the frame comprises:
a first member;
a second member; and
a plurality of diagonal members;
each of the plurality of diagonal members diagonally couple the first member with the second member; and
a removable cover, wherein:
the removable cover comprises:
a central portion;
a first coupling mechanism; and
a second coupling mechanism;
the first coupling mechanism is coupled with at least a portion of a top of the central portion;
the second coupling mechanism is coupled with at least a portion of a bottom of the central portion;
the first coupling mechanism is reversibly coupled with the second member; and
the second coupling mechanism is reversibly coupled with the first member;
wherein:
the second coupling mechanism comprises a first fastener and a second fastener;
the first member defines a ledge, the first member having a smaller diameter below the ledge than above the ledge; and
the second coupling mechanism being reversibly coupled with the first member comprises the first fastener coupled with the second fastener below the ledge.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The container of claim 1, wherein the frame further comprises a carrying handle coupled between the second member and the first member.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The container of claim 1, wherein:
the first coupling mechanism comprises a first plurality of fasteners;
the second member comprises a second plurality of fasteners; and
the first coupling mechanism being reversibly coupled with the second member comprises the first plurality of fasteners being coupled with the second plurality of fasteners.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The container of claim 1, wherein the first fastener coupled with the second fastener causes the removable cover to tighten circumferentially below the ledge.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The container of claim 1, wherein:
the central portion comprises a material which is more flexible in a first direction between the second member and the first member than a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

### Claim 6

A container, wherein the container comprises:
a frame, wherein the frame comprises:
a top member at a top most portion of the frame; and
a bottom member at a bottom most portion of the frame;
a removable cover, wherein:
the removable cover comprises:
a central portion;
a first coupling member; and
a second coupling member;
the first coupling member is coupled with at least a portion of a top of the central portion;
the second coupling member is coupled with at least a portion of a bottom of the central portion;
the first coupling member is reversibly coupled with a portion of the top member; and
the second coupling member is reversibly coupled with the bottom member;
wherein:
the second coupling member comprises a first fastener and a second fastener;
the bottom member defines a ledge, the bottom member having a smaller diameter below the ledge than above the ledge; and
the second coupling member being reversibly coupled with the bottom member comprises:
the first fastener coupled with the bottom member below the ledge; and
the second fastener coupled with the bottom member below the ledge.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The container of claim 6, wherein the first fastener coupled with the bottom member below the ledge and the second fastener coupled with the bottom member below the ledge causes the removable cover to tighten circumferentially below the ledge.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)
