Abstract
The present invention relates generally to golf bag covers and, more particularly, to a lightweight golf bag cover that protects a stand-up bag golf bag with attached collapsible legs from water and contaminants such as dirt, dust and grime. The present invention cover is unique since after use, the bag can be collapsed and inserted into a self-contained pocket within the cover itself. When expanded, the cover encompasses and protects the entire golf bag and golf clubs stowed therein, while also having the ability to still use the collapsible legs of the bag so that the protected golf bag can stand up as designed.
