Abstract

Exemplary embodiments of golf bags, golf bag tops, and methods to manufacture golf bags and golf bag tops are generally described herein. In one example, a golf bag may include a body portion having a top portion, a bottom portion, a first housing portion, and a second housing portion located outside of the first housing portion and defined by a club fastener portion and a base portion. A club divider portion may be located at or proximate to the top portion. A handle portion may be coupled to the club divider portion, and may include the club fastener portion. The base portion may be located at or proximate to the bottom portion. The club fastener portion may engage a first portion of a golf club, and the base portion may engage a second portion of the second golf club. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A golf bag comprising:
a body portion having a top portion, a bottom portion, a chamber portion extending between the top portion and the bottom portion, and a display portion located outside of the chamber portion;
a club divider portion located at or proximate to the top portion, the club divider portion having a perimeter portion defining at least one opening to receive a first golf club into the chamber portion of the body portion,
a handle portion coupled to the perimeter portion of the club divider portion, the handle portion having a club fastener portion to engage a first portion of a second golf club; and
a base portion located at or proximate to the bottom portion, the base portion configured to engage a second portion of the second golf club,
wherein the chamber portion is configured to house at least 50% of a maximum club length of the first golf club,
wherein the display portion includes the club fastener portion and the base portion, and is configured to display at least 50% of a maximum club length of the second golf club, and
wherein the base portion comprises a pocket.

2. A golf bag as defined in claim 1 , wherein the display portion is configured to separate a putter-type golf club from the first golf club.

3. A golf bag as defined in claim 1 , wherein the club fastener portion is configured to engage a portion of a shaft of a putter-type golf club.

4. A golf bag as defined in claim 1 , wherein the club fastener portion comprises a magnetic portion.

5. A golf bag as defined in claim 1 , wherein the club fastener portion comprises a U-shaped portion having a width greater than or equal to a maximum outer diameter of a shaft of the second golf club.

6. A golf bag as defined in claim 1 , wherein the base portion comprises a height greater than or equal to a grip portion of the second golf club.

7. A golf bag as defined in claim 1 , wherein the base portion comprises a height less than 50% of a maximum club length of the second golf club.

8. A golf bag comprising:
a body portion having a top portion, a bottom portion, a first housing portion extending between the top portion and the bottom portion, and a second housing portion located outside of the first housing portion;
a club divider portion located at or proximate to the top portion, the club divider portion having a perimeter portion defining at least one opening to receive a first golf club into the first housing portion of the body portion;
a handle portion coupled to the perimeter portion of the club divider portion, the handle portion having a club fastener portion to engage a first portion of a second golf club; and
a base portion located at or proximate to the bottom portion, the base portion configured to engage a second portion of the second golf club,
wherein the first housing portion is configured to expose a first club length of the first golf club,
wherein the club fastener portion and the base portion define the second housing portion, and are separated by open space to expose a second club length of the second golf club,
wherein the first club length is less than the second club length, and
wherein the base portion comprises a height greater than or equal to a maximum length of a grip portion of the second golf club.

9. A golf bag as defined in claim 8 , wherein the club fastener portion comprises a magnetic portion.

10. A golf bag as defined in claim 8 , wherein the club fastener portion comprises a U-shaped portion having a width greater than or equal to a maximum outer diameter of a shaft of the second golf club.

11. A golf bag comprising:
a body portion having a top portion, a bottom portion, a first housing portion extending between the top portion and the bottom portion, and a second housing portion located outside of the first housing portion;
a club divider portion located at or proximate to the top portion, the club divider portion having a perimeter portion defining at least one opening to receive a first golf club into the first housing portion of the body portion;
a handle portion coupled to the perimeter portion of the club divider portion, the handle portion having a club fastener portion to engage a first portion of a second golf club; and
a base portion located at or proximate to the bottom portion, the base portion configured to engage a second portion of the second golf club,
wherein the first housing portion is configured to expose a first club length of the first golf club,
wherein the club fastener portion and the base portion define the second housing portion, and are separated by open space to expose a second club length of the second golf club,
wherein the first club length is less than the second club length, and
wherein the base portion comprises a pocket.

12. A golf bag as defined in claim 11 , wherein the club fastener portion comprises a magnetic portion.

13. A golf bag as defined in claim 11 , wherein the club fastener portion comprises a U-shaped portion having a width greater than or equal to a maximum outer diameter of a shaft of the second golf club.

14. A golf bag as defined in claim 11 , wherein the club fastener portion is configured to engage a portion of a shaft of a putter-type golf club.
