Claims19
A system related to towing at least one golf bag adapted to hold golf equipment comprising at least one golf club using the torso of at least one user, said system comprising:
- a) at least one three-wheeled golf trolley structured and arranged to assist wheeled transport of the at least one golf bag;
- b) at least one torso support structured and arranged to support at least one force-generated load on the torso of the at least one user;
- c) at least one tether structured and arranged to transfer at least one tensional force between said at least one three-wheeled golf trolley and said at least one torso support;
- d) two proximal removable couplers, one located at each end of said at least one tether, wherein the proximal removable couplers removably couple said at least one tether to two points on said at least one torso support;
- e) three removable tether couplers structured and arranged to removably couple said tether to three points on said at least one three-wheeled golf trolley, wherein at least two of the three points are located at the gripping handle of the at least one three-wheeled golf trolley, wherein each one of said at least three removable tether couplers is structured and arranged to be freely moveable along the entire length of said at least one tether
- f) wherein said at least one torso support comprises at least one load distributor structured and arranged to distribute the at least one force-generated load along at least one waist portion of the torso of the at least one user;
- and
- g) wherein said at least one tether is sufficiently flexible to limit substantially all transfers of compressive loads between said at least one three-wheeled golf trolley and said at least one torso support.
