    Abstract: Golf clubs can be suspended within a golf bag by the use of an add-on club holder releasably attached to the upper edge of a conventional golf bag. The club holder can include an elongated bendable strip having a number of supporting clamps spaced along the strip lower edge to grip the upper edge of the bag. The strip is bendable to conform to the shape of the bag perimeter edge. Heads of the golf clubs can be positioned in slots in the upper edge of the bendable strip. Each slot is aligned with a cantilever finger extending from the elongated strip so that the finger prevents the head of the golf club from slipping out of the slot.
