Abstract
A cart for transporting golf clubs includes a golf bag carried by a frame mounted by shock absorbers to a pair of wheels. An odometer is provided for measuring the distance walked by an individual pulling the cart. This allows the distance of a player's shot to be easily measured. A rubber bumper is provided on the bottom of the golf bag for allowing the bag to stand in two positions without damage. An adjustable handle may be folded for storage purposes. The golf bag includes a removable holder for storing a supply of golf balls. A retractable umbrella is provided for protection of the golf bag and the golfer.
