Abstract: An improvement for a golf bag is disclosed wherein the improvement comprises an adjustable internal supporting apparatus having a retractable spike for standing a golf bag upright on the ground which apparatus also provides general longitudinal support of the golf bag. The apparatus has a central shaft between a club separator attached to the top collar of a golf bag having flexible sides and the bottom collar at the base of the bag. A hollow tube sliding within the shaft bears a solid spike threaded to its lower end for sticking in the ground and a handle threaded to its upper end. The upper end of the shaft is guided by a hole in the club separator; the lower end is guided by a hole in a cup attached to the bottom collar of the golf bag. A spring, one end of which is clipped to the upper end of the inside of the shaft, the other end inserted into a hole in the side of the hollow tube, is stretched by downward pressure from the hand on the tube handle.
