I made the kit for a friend I golf with, He was 70 and had to carry his golf bag to his car, and he had to stop three times. I told him I will make some wheels for his bag after a few models I refined it to this. The kit fastens with fasteners for permanent mounting. It's light weight small and mounts in ten minutes. The handle kit is for the bags that don't have one on the side of the bag the wheels mount to. The wheels are designed with a pitch and tow in for better trailing. The top part of the platform has flexible wings so it fits different size bags. For golf bags the bottom of the golf bag is made of plastic wherein you drill the mounting hoes to fasten the platform. The handle kit mounts the same why most golf bag has plastic at the top of the bag wherein you can drill the hoes for the fasteners. As for a duffel bag you need to poke the hoes in the bag and use a washer on the inside of the bag to fasten the kit.

Wheel kit attachment Apparatus for Golf Bags and Sport/Duffel Bags are made to make life easier to move your bags around. The wheel kit comes with a handle that fastens to the bag with shield retainer. The wheel body is a one piece hard body with two wheels that mounts to the bottom of the bag using shield retainers. On a golf bag the wheels and handle are mounted on the same side of the bag and needs to mount on the front side of the bag and on sport and duffel bags the handle and wheels are on opposite sides.
By mounting the wheel kit to your bag will make it easier to move them like golf bag and sport bags where at some places you have to carry your bags from the car to the clubhouse. And for duffel bags this would be a grate help at airports or other places you would have to hall them around. I think this would be a big help in the Military.
A primary object of the present invention is to provide a carrier for a golf bag. This is a great help for older golfers. One of my golf partners was turning 70 and was having a hard time carrying his golf bag across the parking lot, as you know the longer you have your golf bag the more you fill it with stuff and the heaver it gets. I told him I would make wheels for His bag and after many try I came up with this wheel kit.
