A lightweight carry bag for golf clubs is provided with an automatically extensible bag stand which supports the golf bag in a propped-up position whenever the golf bag is set down during the course of playing a game of golf. The bag stand is configured to operate in the manner of a toggle mechanism with the operating force being derived from a partial longitudinal collapsing of the carry bag which occurs when the bag is set down on the ground in a vertical attitude and leaned over slightly in the direction of a partially collapsible side of the golf bag.
