A golf bag having a body and support legs pivotally attached to the body and actuated by an actuator rod which is partially hidden inside the body. The actuator rod is actuated by an actuator assembly comprising a base member and an actuator plate. When the bag is tilted, the actuator plate cooperates with the actuator rod to cause the legs to pivot away from the bag body to form a support for the bag. The actuator mechanism and the lower portion of the actuator shaft are located inside the golf bag body. The actuator assembly also includes a cover or a shutter for covering the base member and the actuator plate so the coupling of the actuator rod and the actuator plate is hidden from view.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A golf bag comprising:a body having a side surface and a bottom end, the body defining a longitudinal axis;at least one leg pivotally connected to the body and being able to pivot between a retracted position where the leg is disposed substantially longitudinally along the side surface of the body and an extended position where lower end of the leg is spaced apart from the body;an actuator member disposed substantially longitudinally along the side surface of the body and longitudinally moveable relative to the body, the actuator member being connected at an upper portion to the leg so that the longitudinal motion of the actuator shaft effects the pivoting motion of the leg;a base member disposed at the bottom end of the body, the base member having a bottom face substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body and a slanted face extending from the bottom face at an angle therewith to define a cutout region;an actuator plate pivotally connected to the base member, the actuator plate being able to pivot between a first position and a second position, wherein the lower end of actuator member is connected to the actuator plate so that the actuator shaft moves longitudinally when the actuator plate pivots between the first and the second position; anda shutter assembly slidably attached to the base member and to the actuator plate to at least partially enclose the cutout region defined by the base member, wherein the shutter assembly comprises upper and lower shutter portions which are slidably coupled to each other and pivotally connected to the base member, the lower shutter portion being integrally attached to the actuator plate, so that when the actuator plate is at the second position the upper and the lower shutter portions are collapsed.
