Abstract
A golf bag is equipped with a stand for supporting the bag in a generally upright position. The stand includes a pair of support legs which are pivotally attached to the top of the bag. The golf bag is carried by a bag strap, and a leg strap is attached to one of the support legs and is attached to the bag strap for pivoting the support legs to a closed position when the bag strap is lifted and for allowing the support legs to pivot to an open position when the bag strap is relaxed.
