Choosing A Golf Club Bag That Best Suits Your Needs
A high quality golf club bag is an invaluable investment for the average golfer, especially if you prefer walking the course as opposed to using a cart. Since it is highly recommended that you walk as often as possible when playing golf, you’ll certainly want a golf bag that will be comfortable, yet durable.
Tour Bags There are several sizes of golf club bags for you to choose from. If you have ever watched a professional golf game, you will notice that the pros typically use giant leather tour bags. They are waterproof and equipped with large pockets that can carry most anything a caddie may need during the game.
These bags, however, can be extremely heavy – some weighing over 50 pounds. Luckily, these players can pay Caddies to carry their golf bags for them, many of which get paid very well – some even earning a percentage of their player’s tournament wins.
Cart Bags The average golfer will probably never need a 50 pound tour bag just to carry their clubs around the golf course, so the next size down, the cart bag, is more ideal for normal, everyday players.
Cart bags are typically made of leather and nylon, and are made to fit on a golf cart. However, cart bags can also be a bit bulky and are best suited if you plan on driving the golf cart around all day.
Carry Bags Though Cart Bags may be ideal, an even better solution for recreational golfers are the Carry Bags. These golf bags are much smaller and weigh far less than a full-size bag such as the tour or cart bag. Cart bags tend to be adequate for carrying all of your clubs, a few accessories, and of course your golf balls – but leave little room for anything else.
Carry bags come in a wide range of sizes, designs, and price. For children, you can find these bags in smaller ¾ sizes. For adults who would like a little “extra”, you can pick up a deluxe model carry bag that has more pockets and a backpack strap which enables you to hold onto your bag using both shoulders, which is quite comfortable.
As far as the prices of carry bags are concerned – just like with any other product – you get what you pay for. However, cart bags in this price range do not have the most aesthetic appeal and are not very comfortable. Cheap carry bags are fine if you only plan on playing golf once or twice per year, but a better choice would be to invest into a high-quality carry bag.
