Abstract:

A golf bag security device for locking golf clubs in a golf bag. The security device is positioned at the top of the golf bag and has a guide member with a hole through it, one for each club. A pair of bars having a fork positionable under each hole is held below the openings and may be moved from a locked position to an unlocked position. In an unlocked position it is possible to insert and retrieve a golf club freely. When the device is locked with a golf club in the bag, the golf club can be pulled up only until the grip is contacted by the forks. This prevents the club from being removed from the bag.
