Morphology

golf + bag

The meaning 'a bag used for carrying golf clubs and equipment' is directly derivable from combining 'golf' (the sport/activities and related equipment) with 'bag' (a portable container). This noun–noun compounding follows a transparent, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand the MWE.

Etymology

The noun golf bag comes from the simple image of a player carrying a bag full of golf clubs and balls, so it means 'a bag for carrying golf equipment'.
