Golf Bags A Very Important Piece of Your Equipment

Do you know what you are looking for?

Golf bags are an important part of your equipment, you may not think so but how else would you carry your clubs and all your other gear? Basically there are only two kinds and it comes down to whether you walk or ride when you play. Whichever you prefer to do there are certain distinct differences between a carry/stand Golf Bag and one that is designed to be hauled on the back of a cart. Your personal preference also plays a big part in choosing the right Golf Bag.

There are a few things to consider when you are purchasing a new bag. They are; comfort, weight, durability and protection.

I like to ride when I play so mine rides on the back of the cart. I'm not carrying it so weight is not a concern for me. Cart bags are larger and therefore they are heavier. They have lots of pockets for storage so you can bring along anything you might need.

A Golf Bag that is designed to be hauled on a cart should have all the pockets and zippers facing forward, for easy access.

Durability is an important factor when you play a lot. I play three times week so my golf bag gets a lot of use. The zippers have to be durable enough to handle constant opening and closing.

Club Protection this is a factor that is sometimes over looked. Most cart bags are designed so that each club has its own individual slot. This is a very good feature because we don't want the expensive graphite shafts on our woods and hybrids to get damaged banging around with our irons. Also some golf bags have an external slot for your putter; this is good because some of today's putters have very large heads.
