Abstract: A travel enclosure for a golf bag has a support for the golf bag and a set of nested members arranged for telescopic movement with respect to each other and the support between remotely spaced positions disassociated from the support and at least partially enclosing positions in association with the support about the golf bag. One of the nested members being engaged with the support upon the telescopic movement of the nested members into their at least partially closing position.

Abstract: A telescoping hard case for carrying a golf bag is provided. The hard case includes at least three container sections telescopically moveable between a retracted position and an expanded position, including a bottom section, a middle section, and a top section, wherein the top section slidably nests within the middle section and the middle section slidably nests within the bottom section in the retracted position; and wherein the container sections abut along adjacent edges in the extended position so that a top edge of the bottom section abuts a bottom edge of the middle section, and a top edge of the middle section abuts the bottom edge of the top section. The hard case further includes stopping mechanism to prevent the container sections from becoming detached when in the expanded position and a releasable locking device for locking the container sections in the expanded position.
