There are several factors to consider when shopping for a golf bag, but we’re here to make the process a little easier. From different sizes and styles to must-have features and more, we’ve got all the tips you need to find the golf bag that’s right for you.
Why do I need a golf bag?
The main function of a golf bag is to hold all the essential equipment you need to play golf. However, a welldesigned bag offers more than just storage space. It can protect your equipment, enhance your experience on the course and add a splash of style to your game.
How do I choose a golf bag?
The key to choosing your perfect golf bag is to think about how you play and what you need on the course. Will you be walking, riding in a cart or both? Do you want extra space to store accessories like an umbrella or rain gear? Answering these types of questions will help you find the best option to suit your needs. Golf bags come in various shapes and sizes, but two of the most popular styles are:
1. Stand bags
Stand bags feature retractable legs that keep them upright and accessible. They also typically come with an over-the-shoulder or backpack strap system for easy carrying. Their lightweight design is ideal for players who prefer to walk their rounds.
2. Cart bags
Cart bags are designed to be used on a push, pull or motorized cart. They typically have ample space for golf clubs and several useful pockets for all your gear and valuables. Look for a design with at least two padded handles (which makes it easier to carry from the parking lot to the course).
What features should I look for in a good golf bag?
Even the most basic golf bags have standard features to keep you organized and comfortable, but here are a few factors to consider when browsing our selection of golf bags for sale:
• Number of dividers: Dividers keep your clubs organized and prevent them from banging against each other. If you have a larger set of clubs, you might need a bigger bag with more dividers.
• Pockets and features: A good golf bag will have plenty of room for all your essential gear and accessories. Some extra features to look for include an umbrella holder, towel ring, glove attachment and rain hood.
• Straps: If you’ll be carrying your golf bag, make sure it feels comfortable. The straps should be wide, well-padded and adjustable.
• Weight: The lighter the bag, the easier it will be to carry. Stand bags and carry bags tend to be the lightest and easiest to move around the course.
What else should I get along with my golf bag?
Golf clubs, golf balls and golf tees are a few essentials you should always have in your bag. If you want to walk the course without straining your back, a golf push cart is another piece of equipment to consider.
