You could find a $5 ancient BAG BOY pull cart from your local Goodwill or from a garage sale.
Many of the BAG BOY models from the 1960's and 1970's have a pull handle which is almost infinitely adjustable as to the angle of the handle.
You'll see it when you see it.
Most others have a fixed angle of the handle stem which can't be adjusted (the golfer pulling, or pushing the bag has to use his/her arms to lift/lower their hands to the most comfortable and effective position for use.
Many of the various pull carts from the 1950's, 1960's and early 1970's were very well built, with quality axles and frames and very strong and sturdy with quality steel ball bearings and almost indestructible wheels. Most before the early sixties have narrow one inch hard steel wheels, like from a fifties era child's red radio line wagon, or from a fifties era garbage can cart, or from those triangular shape garden cart-wheelbarrows from the fifties.
If one was to find two front wheels from junk childrens' bikes ( example:spoked steel with innertube with schrader valve and not too agressive tread...no severly knobby-motocross like tires.... ideally,.you want normal, unagressive rubber tread pattern on the tires.) You could maybe find similar innertube & tire, pneumatic tire, garden cart-dolly type replacement wheels at Harbor Freight but junk bikes laying on a curbside trashpile might be the best low-cost solution.
Essentially, you adapt the ancient pull-cart in the same way that a purpose built bike trailer attaches. (e.g. like that Burley trailer that someone posted a picture of earlier)
My guess is you'll need scavenged used bicycle wheels to replace the original golf pull-cart wheels BECAUSE the pneumatic tire and shrader valve innertube bicycle front wheels scavenged for this DIY conversion will allow for a much smoother, more cushioned ride for the clubs, and a more stable ride for this DIY trailer golf cart following behind your bicycle. These ancient, strong, well built metal pull-carts already securely cradle most any size or shaped golf bag. The DIY part that you'll be faced with would be adapting the handle-arm to safely and securely attach like a bike trailer to your specific bicycle.
One important thing that you should remember to do each and every time AFTER YOU BUILD THE DIY trailer type attachment.....
**You'll need to use a golf bag that has the Snap On or Zip On "rain cover" or "airline travel cover"......whatever you want to call it......you know it is that which stores in the large long side pocket of the golf bag and seldom ever gets used by hacks and duffers, or folks in Southern California where it never rains, but good golfers who play all the time in the rain know the importance of trying to keep the grips dry.....thus the snap on rain hood is wonderful in rainy conditions. THE REASON THAT YOU WOULD WANT IT ATTACHED, SNAPPED ON OVER YOUR CLUBHEADS, FULLY ZIPPED, is Because it Will Keep The Clubs Contained Within The Golf Bag, Should You Go Over Any Bumps, or Irregularities in the Road while you are pedalling to the course with your clubs following your bike at 18 mph. You don't want the clubs to bounce straight up........the secured , fully closed up snap on rain hood will keep your clubs from doing that while in the DIY ancient golf cart trailer.

pictures of some really ancient type of golf pull carts that might give you a good DIY idea..............you'll likely find something like those for about $5 at Goodwill.
Lots of country folk in the South, find and look for those old golf pull carts to make low cost but effective DEER CARTS.
