A new ultra light weight, spring action, stand system for supporting a golf bag is provided. According to one aspect of the present invention, the stand system includes a top bracket, a pair of legs, a guide, a wire form, and a footplate. The top bracket is configured for coupling to a top portion of a golf bag. The pair of legs may be pivotably coupled to the top bracket. The guide is for coupling to a bottom portion of the golf bag to restrain lateral movement of the wire form, for example. The wire form is slidably coupled through the guide and engages the legs. The actuation of the wire form moves the legs from a retracted position to an extended position. Finally, the footplate is pivotably mounted to the wire form and is positioned to have a contact point with the ground for actuating the wire form that is behind the plane of the legs. According to other aspects of the present invention, the stand system includes one or more of the following: a bi-planar cut away base to facilitate engagement of the spring mechanism, a double clip and crimped wire form to hold the clip in place at a very high tension, oversized feet to provide increased stability and usability in soft soil conditions, a compact retracted leg arrangement that will not poke or prod the golfer as he/she carries the bag, and a novel femur design that prevents the unsightly occurrence of crossed legs.
