A stand for a golf bag has a center shaft with brackets to which the bag may be attached. Legs are pivotally mounted to the center shaft and are connected to a U-shaped spring which extends below the shaft, when the legs are pivoted against the shaft, so as to enable the stand and bag to be carried as a unit. When the shaft is placed on the ground, the spring is moveable upwardly and snaps the legs, automatically into extended position to form a tripod. The legs are mounted on a collar which is moveable along the shaft so as to bring the lower end of the spring away from the position where it engages the ground and prevents the legs from snapping automatically to extended position. The moveable legs and spring provide assurance that the legs will not be snapped out when the spring inadvertently hits the ground or some support service such as when the bag and stand are placed on a golf cart.

In a stand for a golf bag or the like having a shaft to which the bag is secured, legs pivotally mounted to the shaft to form a tripod with the shaft, and a U-shaped spring having spring arms forming the bottom of the U-shape of the spring at one end and each arm connected to a different one of said legs at the opposite end thereof, said spring being moveably mounted on said shaft near said opposite end, the improvement comprising a collar moveably mounted on said shaft, means for selectively fixing said collar to said shaft at at least a first and a second position where the bottom of said spring projects substantially beyond the end of said shaft and where the bottom of said spring does not project substantially beyond the said shaft, respectively, whereby to prevent said spring from automatically extending said legs to form said tripod when said shaft and the bottom of said spring is placed in contact with the ground or other support surface.
