by Moglori Sparia


A golf bag is a very important part of the golf game. This is because it helps hold ones clubs and other necessary items such as tees, balls, markers and even towels in place. People also try to get the most functional and good looking bag. This means that people are on the lookout for the best bag they can afford.

When we talk of the best bag, what does that actually mean? To most people this is a bag that can hold a whole set of clubs. It should also have different pockets to hold other golf gear. Another very important consideration is that even when one is looking for a cheap option, the design should not show it.

Even though the bags do not influence the games outcome, they determine your level of comfort and how fatigued you will be at the end of the game. Apart from the additional needs, the two main factors that determine the best bag are how much you can put in the bag and whether you will carry the bag yourself or use a caddy or golf cart.

Mainly, golf bags are categorized in different groups based upon their uses. You could select from different types of bags like carry bags, staff/tour bags and cart bags. Tour bags allow you to keep largest number of items due to the availability of wide space. You could fit complete sets of 14 clubs in them and even place other items in different pockets. Tour bags are preferred more by professionals who use caddies in order for carrying them.

Even though cart bags are somewhat smaller to tour bags, but they are still a little heavy for players to carry them around. These golf bags are perfectly designed for use in golf carts, and comparatively they have lesser number of pockets. On the other hand, the smallest of the golf bags, carry bags are made mostly in light materials like nylon, and they are designed to keep the basic golf equipment.

Knowing about the different types of golf bags should help you make a better purchase decision. Remember, some might be very appealing but not appropriate depending on the level you are at.
