Golf bag

Abstract

A golf bag having a bag body with a receiving space and a top portion and a bottom portion mounted on opposite ends of the bag body. A connecting unit including connecting members is mounted on an external surface of the bag body. A supporting unit having an adjustable length is located in the bag body. When the connecting members are coupled to each other and the length of the supporting unit is reduced, the external surface of the bag body is folded and the size of the golf bag is reduced. Therefore, the volume of the receiving space of the bag body can be adjusted according to articles to be received in the receiving space, and also the size of the golf bag can be adjusted for easy storage or carrying.
