Abstract: A telescoping handle having a plurality of telescoping hollow tubes characterized by relative sliding stiffness between each of the tubes and having a similar resistance to rotation, the handle comprising a plurality of stiffeners having an outside diameter sized to fit snugly within an inside diameter of an associated tube. Each stiffener is positioned in an end of the associated tube remaining within an adjacent larger diameter tube when in an extended state. Each stiffener has an axial length at least as long as an overlap length of the associated tube and the adjacent larger diameter tube when in the extended state.

Abstract: An apparatus that may be removably attached to a golf cart for covering a bag storage area of the golf cart may include a top panel sized to cover the bag storage area, fasteners for releasably coupling the top panel to the golf cart, a first side panel and a second side panel each having a respective upper edge wherein a first segment of each respective upper edge is connected to a corresponding respective edge of the top panel, fasteners for releasably coupling the first side panel and the second side panel to the golf cart, a back panel having a rear upper edge and a pair of lateral edges, the back panel positioned between the first side panel and the second side panel wherein the back panel is connected along a portion of each lateral edge to a respective portion of the first side panel and the second side panel and wherein a portion of the rear upper edge is connected to the top panel, and fasteners for releasably coupling the top panel to at least one of the first side panel and the second side panel an
