What is claimed is: 1. A combined golf bag and pull cart that provides for both compact, easy storage and greater stability on a golf course, comprising: a golf bag having a base formed at a base portion of the golf bag; a shaft having two ends extending through the base; a hollow rod within the shaft and extending beyond each end of the shaft; a pair of wheel assemblies, one wheel assembly removably attached to the hollow rod at each end of the shaft, each wheel assembly including a wheel and an axle, wherein the wheels rotate about a common axis parallel to and offset from the shaft; each wheel assembly independently extendable from a first operative position close to the base to a second operative position further from the base; wherein the first operative position provides for compact, easy storage; the second operative position provides greater stability on a golf course; and the first and second operative positions are disposed along the common axis. 2. The combined golf bag and pull cart of claim 1, including a support stand pivotally attached thereto. 3. The combined golf bag and pull cart of claim 1, including wheel recesses formed in the base into which the wheels are movable when in the first operative position. 4. The combined golf bag and pull cart of claim 1, including at least one lock associated with each axle for holding each wheel assembly in either the first operative position or the second operative position. 5. The combined golf bag and pull cart of claim 4, wherein the hollow rod further includes at least one aperture on each side of the base that engages one of the locks. 6. The combined golf bag and pull cart of claim 1, wherein the shaft and rod are rectangular. 7. A combined golf bag and pull cart that provides for both compact, easy storage and greater stability on a golf course, comprising: a golf bag having a base formed at a base portion of the golf bag; a shaft having two ends extending through the base; a hollow rod within the shaft and extending beyond each end of the shaft; a pair of wheel assemblies, one wheel assembly removably attached to the hollow rod at each end of the shaft, each wheel assembly including a wheel and an axle, wherein the wheels rotate about a common axis parallel to and offset from the shaft; each wheel assembly independently extendable from a first operative position close to the base to a second operative position further from the base; at least one lock associated with each axle for holding each wheel assembly in either the first operative position or the second operative position, wherein the hollow rod further includes at least one aperture on each side of the base that engages one of the locks; wherein the first operative position provides for compact, easy storage; and wherein the second operative position provides greater stability on a golf course. 8. The combined golf bag and pull cart of claim 7, including a support stand pivotally attached thereto. 9. The combined golf bag and pull cart of claim 7, including wheel recesses formed in the base into which the wheels are movable when in the first operative position. 10. The combined golf bag and pull cart of claim 7, wherein the shaft and rod are rectangular. 11. A combined golf bag and pull cart that provides for both compact, easy storage and greater stability on a golf course, comprising: a golf bag having a base formed at a base portion of the golf bag; a rectangular shaft having two ends extending through the base; a rectangular hollow rod within the shaft and extending beyond each end of the shaft; a pair of wheel assemblies, one wheel assembly removably attached to the hollow rod at each end of the shaft, each wheel assembly including a wheel and an axle, wherein the wheels rotate about a common axis parallel to and offset from the shaft; each wheel assembly independently extendable from a first operative position close to the base to a second operative position further from the base; wheel recesses formed in the base into which the wheels are movable when in the first operative position; at least one lock associated with each axle for holding each wheel assembly in either the first operative position or the second operative position, wherein the hollow rod further includes at least one aperture on each side of the base that engages one of the locks; wherein the first operative position provides for compact, easy storage; and wherein the second operative position provides greater stability on a golf course. 12.
