Abstract: A golf bag is provided that includes a bag body and a golf bag having a pocket that includes magnetic assemblies that cooperate with one another to hold the pocket together in a closed configuration. In addition, the pocket is configured to close itself without need of any additional manipulation by the user. The pocket can further include first and second edges aligned with one another defining an opening for a compartment accessible on a bag body of the golf bag. The pocket can further include first and second magnetic assemblies disposed along the first and the second edges. The first and the second magnetic assemblies can each include a plurality of magnets. For example, the magnetic assemblies can each include a sleeve that confines the plurality of magnets in end-to-end, spaced-apart relationship.

Abstract: A sports glove is provided having an elongated protective guard formed of elastomeric material projecting upwardly from an outer surface of the dorsal side over the metacarpal portion of the user's hand.

Abstract: A golf glove is provided having inelastic material that defines a plurality of perforations having a diameter of less than about 2 mm spaced substantially throughout both a palmar side and a dorsal side of the glove. The perforations enhance dissipation of heat and moisture out of the glove.

Abstract: A golf bag is provided that includes a bag body and a deployable stand assembly. The bag body defines an upper opening for receiving golf clubs and a bottom end including a base. The base defines the bottom end of the bag body and includes a first section, a second section and an intermediate section. The intermediate section is disposed between and hinged to both the first section and the second section. The bag includes a support assembly coupled to the bag body proximate to the upper opening and in operative communication with the base such that flexion of the base causes the support assembly to deploy to support the bag in an inclined position.
