| 1. A golf bag rain cover for use in covering a club opening of a golf bag comprising:
a one-piece shell, said shell being constructed of a water-resistant material and being maintained over said club opening
of said golf bag, said shell defining a rear panel with a closure therein;
a retention strap securing the rear panel to a handle of the golf bag;
a plurality of extensible, resilient rods supporting said shell, each of said rods having a first end and a second end, a
marginal end of each of the first ends being pivotally linked to a first mounting bracket attached to one portion of the golf
bag and a marginal end of each of the second ends being pivotally linked to a second mounting bracket attached to an opposing
portion of the golf bag, each of said rods comprising a first portion slidably inserted into a second portion and wherein
when one of the first and second mounting brackets is released from the golf bag, the resilience causes the rain cover to
contract into a straight stowable shape.
