Abstract: An inner tube is slidably received within an outer tube. A number of tube stops and a bias or spring means are associated with the tubes. The inner elongated tube has an inner diameter sufficiently large to store the shaft of a golf club, an outer diameter sufficiently small in size to be slidably received within the inner diameter of the outer elongated tube. The arrangement of the inner and outer tubes, as well as the stops and spring means, allows for the inner tube to rise above, or out of, the outer tube once the weight of the golf club is removed. Consequently, the arrangement can be utilized not only to protect and separate golf clubs in a golf bag, but also can be used for convenient insertion of a golf club in a golf bag and as an indicator to show that a golf club is removed from the golf bag. By raising the inner tube up and out of the outer tube, one can easily visualize that the club associated with the tube is missing from the bag.
