• the golf club bag in the collapsed configuration comprising;
• the second pocket zipper is unzipped, and the opening panel overlaps at least a portion of the first pocket lid, when the first pocket is in a closed position;
• the third pocket zipper is unzipped so that when the first and second pocket are compressed into the bag cavity by force, a collapsing motion places a force on the hinge and the lid is folded down and substantially planar with a back side of the flat, wherein a region of the third pocket that extends onto a side of the second pocket collapses, thereby folding the first and second pockets into the bag cavity;
• the second pocket and the third pocket comprise an inner lining of one material;
• the second pocket and the third pocket comprise an exterior panel of a second material;
• wherein the exterior panel material is different from the inner lining material;
