A beverage cooler for attachment to a golf bag includes an elongated base provided with a pair of straps for securement around a golf bag. A can storage tube extends between spaced parallel top and bottom portions of the base. In a first embodiment, an access opening for dispensing standard beverage cans from the tube is formed through the top base portion. A cylindrical can support disk is received for sliding movement in the tube and is biased upwardly by a coil spring received within the tube. The spring constant is predetermined to maintain the top can in a stack of standard beverage cans at a predetermined elevation. An actuating lever attached to the can support disk extends outwardly through a longitudinal slot in the tube. A pair of pivotal doors form insulated chambers on opposite sides of the base, adjacent the tube, for the reception of refreezable cooling packages. In a second embodiment, the can access opening is formed by a L-shaped pivotal door adjacent the bottom portion of the base. The door is spring biased to a closed position and is provided with an outwardly extending lever for manually dispensing the bottom can from a stack of beverage cans. In a third embodiment, the cans are dispensed through a top door hinged along a horizontal axis and in a fourth embodiment the cans are dispensed through a stop door hinged along a vertical axis. The coolers may be utilized singly or in pairs, and may be secured to or built into a golf bag.
