New and improved strapping for a new and improved strapping system and method of strapping a golf bag to a cradle of a golf bag carrier so as to have taut strapping which is connected to the golf bag and the bag carrier and prevents rotation of the bag and strapping relative to the cradle. The strap or straps of the strapping are made of back to back woven loop tapes with napped loops of the type used for hook and loop re-closeable fasteners with the straps of the back to back tapes having loop material extending for the full length of the opposite sides of the straps and end segments on the end portions of the strap, the end segments having hooks extending outwardly from the side of the strap to enable the end portions of the straps to be doubled back to make connections to a cradle or to the shoulder strap D-ring of a golf bag or a similar independent ring type member. The connecting loops are adjustable to adjust the effective length of a strap and the tautness of the strap across the bag. Various accessories or the golf bag may be fixed to the loop material of the strap by providing them with hooks for a hook and loop fastener. The strap is made of two back to back loop tapes sewed together for essentially the length of the strap with a single center stitch with the end segments being sewed over the loop material at the ends of the strap with box stitches which join the end segments with the hook tapes.

[ What I claim is:] [1.] In a golf bag carrier for individually transporting golf bags having sizes within a predetermined range of golf bag sizes including golf bags having a shoulder-strap-ring, said carrier having a cradling structure for receiving the golf bag with a front portion of the golf bag extending outwardly of the cradling structure and strapping for releasably holding the golf bag in the cradling structure, the cradling structure comprising spaced strap support structures for receiving the golf bag therebetween with the front portion extending outwardly of the strap supporting structures, said support structures comprising slots for said strapping, said strapping to be drawn tautly across said front portion of the bag and having a respective outer strap portion extending outwardly from each of said strap supporting structures to provide an adjustable effective strap length to be drawn tautly across the front portion of the bag to hold the bag in the cradling structure, said strapping comprising: first securing means on said strapping for making a releasable connection of said outer strap portions to said cradling structure to secure said outer strap portions from moving outwardly from the strap support structures of the cradling structure on tautening of said outer strap portions, and second securing means on the strapping for releasably connecting said strapping directly to the golf bag received for transport in the cradling structure to positively hold the golf bag against rotation within the cradling structure relative to the strapping and the cradling structure.
