Abstract: A protective canopy attachment for a motorized golf cart of the type having an uncovered rear compartment within which golf bags and clubs are positioned during use of the cart utilizes frame members attachable to the cart and a canopy assembly movably secured to the frame members. The canopy assembly includes a pair of brackets pivotally connected to the frame members and a flexible cover section which is draped across portions of the brackets. The brackets are movable relative to the frame members between an operative condition at which the cover section is arranged in a taut condition across the rear compartment for protecting bags and clubs positioned therein and a non-operative condition at which the cover section is arranged in a limp, out-of-the-way condition so as not to obstruct the withdrawal of clubs from the bags.
