A first frame member and a second frame member are pivotally joined at respective ends thereof for movement towards each other into a collapsed disposition and for movement away from each other into an erected condition wherein the members are at right angles to each other. One of the members supports to each of its sides an articulating wheel support and wheel and carries within its hollow a slide which is connected by pivots to each of said wheel supports and by pivoting straps to the other frame member so that when the frame members pivot apart the wheels move out and so that when the frame members pivot towards each other the wheels are drawn in so that the entire device assumes a collapsed condition. The frame members carry supports for a golf bag and may carry a battery tank (for a battery when the wheels are driven by motors that are battery powered) storage containers, seats, an umbrella stand and similar articles useful to a golfer. A number of wheel support configurations are provided.
