Abstract: A golf bag and golf cart carrier for automobiles is disclosed. The carrier is composed of two major parts: a frame attached to the rear bumper of the automobile, and a carrier rack that is removably pivoted to the bumper-attached frame and rotatable about a horizontal axis parallel to and above the bumper. The axis is positioned on the carrier rack so as to be below the center of gravity of the rack and its load. The height of the axis above the bumper is such that the carrier rack may be rotated forward to rest its upper end on the vehicle rear deck when loaded. This enables the weight of the carrier rack and its load to be distributed between the rear bumper and the rear deck, e.g., the trunk of the vehicle.
