Abstract
A flexible, elongated restrainer means is shown for the temporary installation in the top opening of a golf bag for the firm, padded protection through and around a set of golf clubs while they are being stored and transported in the bag. This restrainer means would be the most useful when the golf bag and clubs are being transported in the trunk of a car or by plane when they are being subjected to travel vibrations and shocks. Before the use of the present invention, the heads of golf clubs were subject to self-damage during transportation by striking against each other in repetitive fashion for long periods of time. Golf clubs are expensive precision instruments and they should be protected from damage.
