Publication number: 20230173353Abstract: An example golf bag including a top cuff including a circular recess in an exterior surface of the top cuff, the circular recess including a through hole, wherein the top cuff has a top cuff hand width (WTC-HAND) greater than 75 mm. The golf bag may also include a knuckle including an interior knuckle boss at least partially housed inside the circular recess, the knuckle boss including a through hole aligned with the through hole of the circular recess; and a leg-receiving portion. The golf bag may further include a leg connected to the leg receiving portion of the knuckle; a fastener extending through the through hole of the knuckle boss and the through hole of the circular recess; and an actuator handle coupled to the top cuff and in contact with the knuckle, wherein downward pressure applied to the actuator handle causes the knuckle to rotate about the fastener, wherein rotation of the knuckle causes the leg to deploy into an expanded state.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2021Publication date: June 8, 2023Applicant: Acushnet CompanyInventor: Brian R.
