Abstract
A golf bag cart (10) characterized by a hinged canister (66) having an inner wall (84) defining an inner cavity (82) and a flange (78) extending radially inward from the inner wall (84). A golf bag (88) is received into the inner cavity (82) of the canister (66) and placed on the flange (78). The canister (66) is supported by a disassemblable or collapsible frame (12) on which is removably journaled on wheels (18) that allows the frame (12) to be moved when the wheels (19) roll. When a user wishes to have the golf bag cart (10) take up less room, the user can place the wheel (18) within the remaining space in the inner cavity (82) of the canister (66), and place the disassembled frame (12) into the golf bag (88).
