I somehow make-shift bolted that to the axle lug. Today I'd use a braze-on and do something more elegant.

Bolted to the rack, I used about a 6" diameter hoop made out of metal strapping of some kind.

The clubs wen in upside-down and rattled around a bit, but got the job done. It was big enough to hold a baseball bat if needed.

All it carried was that clubs. If I needed to carry the bag, I don't know what I would have done. Maybe get a bob trailer? Or, hunt around garage sales for a three-wheel golf cart then rig up a hitch mechanism?
Found something in a search similar to my 20 year old design

My design was ridiculously simple, though. Basically, a cup attached to the skewer with a hoop attached to the rack. I suppose you could use a full length PVC pipe instead. Might be a better idea as I remember some difficulty when going over large bumps that would cause the handle of the club to bounce out and fall to the ground, rattling around.
