    Abstract: A collapsible support includes extendable and retractable arms and legs for generating a respective uncollapsed and collapsed state. In the uncollapsed state, the support can be placed on most types of surfaces in an upright position to support a golf club or other items by leaning the item against arms or hanging the item from the arm. In the collapsed state, the arms and legs are substantially parallel and adjacent the support's body and thus easily transported or stored. The support also includes an arm attachment assembly attached to the body and a leg attachment assembly attached to the body, both operable to extend and retract respective arms and legs. Also included is a biasing member to bias the arms and legs in a retracted position, an actuating member to extend the arms and legs, and a locking mechanism to lock the arms and legs in the extended position.
