Abstract:

The golf bag lock is intended for use in combination with a golf club bag having a mouth portion for receiving golf clubs, and comprises a pair of elongated rigid arm members for gripping one or more golf club shafts therebetween, and a rear mount having a base secured to the golf bag and an extension member hingedly mounted to the base. The arm members are hingedly mounted to the extension member to allow the arm members to swing over and away from the mouth of the golf bag, and a front mount is provided for locking the arm members in place over the golf bag. Two spaced apart posts are also provided on the front mount to form a slotted area into which the ends of the arm members may easily be placed. The front mount also includes a lockring, and the free ends of the arm members have corresponding apertures through which a conventional lock may be placed to lock the arm members to the front mount. A resilient liner is also provided in centrally located recesses in the arm members to allow for firm protective gripping of the golf club shafts.
