And all you wanted to do was find someplace to put your clubs.
But, before looking at the many golf bag manufacturers, take a moment to decide what golf bag best fits the way you play golf.
If you are a walker and enjoy strolling your favorite golf course, consider a Carry Bag. They are lightweight and most often made of plastic, nylon or even canvas. They can handle your basic golf clubs and your balls, tees and a towel. They often come with a stand that keeps your clubs upright when you are making a shot. Golf Carry bags were introduced in the early 1980s when Sun Mountain introduced the first bag with legs that automatically extended when it was set down on the ground.
These days, the cart bag is probably the most popular golf bag. A bit too bulky to carry, it fits nicely on a hand pushed cart frame or the back of a golf cart. The cart golf bag is large enough to hold all your clubs, shoes, towels and all the other accessories that are so helpful out on the golf course. They can be carried in a pinch, but a strong back is a definite requisite.
The third option is called a staff bag. These are carried by the professionals and people who want to have every imaginable club (up to the allowable 14 club limit) and anything else the golfer might want to carry on his or her round. We are usually in caddy territory here.
These days many golfers take their clubs on golf vacations and sometimes even on business trips. The golf travel bag has fast become another popular golf bag option. The soft bag is good when traveling by car. It is usually lighter and more compact. The carry bag is a good option here.
However when an airplane is part of the itinerary, a hard golf travel bag is a must. The hard shell case bag protects your clubs from being damaged. But they fit nicely on your golf cart when you arrive. These golf bags are considered luggage and not recommended when walking the golf course. However, they are an absolute must when packing your clubs for the airport. Nothing can ruin a golfing vacation more than a broken or bent set of golf clubs.
Golf bags also come in different shapes and sizes with these categories. Ladies and junior golfers certainty have different weight and size requirements than the men.
One can also easily find discount and used golf bags online or at your local pro shop.
