                      1.  A golf bag comprising a bag body for receiving golf clubs and a sliding means fixed at                 
               the lower end of the bag body, a cylinder container formed on the top of the sliding means and                    
               connected with the lower end of said bag body; characterized in that:                                             
                          one side of the bottom of the sliding means is provided with two wheel seats                           
                              parallel to each other for mounting two freely rolling rear wheels                                 
                              connected by an axel;                                                                              
                          another side opposite to said one side of the sliding means is provided with at                        
                              least one eccentric wheel as a front wheel having a diameter smaller then                          
                              [sic, than] the rear wheels;                                                                       
                          the lower edges of the eccentric front wheel and the rear wheels are set to be                         
                              co-planar;

                              upstanding condition, with its longitudinal axis in a substantially vertical                       
                              direction;                                                                                         
                          when the golf bag is in the upstanding condition, users can grasp the upper                            
                              end of the bag body and push the bag body so as to drive the front wheel                           
                              and rear wheels in a pushing condition; and                                                        
                          alternatively, users can slant the golf bag by taking the rear wheels as a pivot                       
                              and lifting the front wheel away from ground, then grasp the upper end                             
                              of the bag body and pull the bag body so as to drive the rear wheels in a                          
                              pulling condition.
