Abstract
A golf bag with a removable snap-in strap system wherein the strap system comprises a set of heterogeneous connectors that fasten a set straps to the golf bag. The connectors are able to accommodate the dominant hand of the user through a variety of heterogeneous configurations of the connectors, including geometry, ability to angle the straps, and surface area. These configurations allow the straps to create more arm space for the user, an easier assembly to a corresponding divider top, and equal distribution of weight across the straps, thereby, promoting comfort and balance for the user.
