Abstract This invention relates to golf accessories and equipment, particularly such equipment and accessories related to the support and protection of a golf bag and clubs and especially to such equipment and accessories designed to protect and support a golf bag and clubs while they are being transported in the trunk or other cargo space in a motor vehicle. A golf bag stand for supporting a golf bag and the clubs in it particularly when the bag and clubs are being transported in a motor vehicle. The open end of the bag is maintained in an elevated position with respect to the closed end or heel of the bag which is allowed to rest on the surface on which the bag and stand are placed. This orientation of the bag with the club heads in an elevated position tends to reduce or eliminate the tendency of the clubs to slide out of the bag under forces generated by maneuvering the motor vehicle due to the concentration of the weight of a club in the club head. This in turn substantially eliminates damage or marring of the club heads caused by contact between clubs or with other objects or surfaces in the trunk or other cargo space in the vehicle in which the clubs are being transported. The stand can be made inexpensively from a single piece of material, in many cases in one manufacturing operation. The stand is durable, effective and aesthetically pleasing, light, easy to carry and requires no assembly. The stand can be nested and stacked for easy and economical display and shipping, further adding to its practicality. The stand has arcuate cradling edges which engage the outer surface or collar of the bag and a plurality of feet which contact the floor of the cargo space and help hold the stand and golf bag in a stable position. Alternative forms of the stand are shown including one made of wire and one which may be hinged to the bag in a removable manner.
