The tilting rods swivel away from the bag body to support the golf bag slantingly on the ground.

Abstract: A golf club carrier includes a central support that forms one of three legs that support the carrier when in use. The two other legs are provided by bending a flexible and resilient rod at its mid-point and pivotally interconnecting the rod at that mid-point to an upper end of the central support. Three point stability is provided when the legs are pivoted relative to the central support. A detent member mounted to the central support captures the legs to position them in a storage position. The inherent bias of the rod urges the legs to resume a divergent relation to one another when they are released from the detent member. A top ring and a cup are secured to a first side of the central support and support at least seven clubs. Auxiliary devices are mounted to a second side of the central support to avoid interference.
