Chose the Golf Bag for You

When buying a golf bag a player must be certain what purpose they want the bag to fill. There are three common types; the carry bag, the stand bag and the pencil bag. Each one serves a particular purpose. The most common bag is the stand bag. This bag is usually the same size as the carry bag but it is designed with a small stand so that the bag can be rest on the ground at a standing angle. It has two small legs that sit inside the bag until you need them. Then they pop out and support the bag. This prevents the bag from getting dirty by being thrown on the ground while the player is up for their turn. It is also more convenient for the player to access their clubs when using this bag. When determining if the stand bag is a good one test to see how well it stays in place. If it falls over at the slightest breeze it will be useless to you.

The carry bag is the more common bag seen used by golfers. These bags have come a long way over the years. They now can weigh as little as less than four pounds. They have been redesigned and are frequently not the over the shoulder bags they once were. It is just as common to see them with two straps so that they hang over both shoulders, more like a common backpack, and thus distribute the weight more evenly.

The pencil bag, sometimes referred to as the Sunday bag, is even easier to carry around than the carry bag. They are narrower, though can still hold at least a dozen clubs, and weigh less. Being of a narrower design they are easier to throw from your car into your locker. Depending on the type you choose and the brand name that appeals to you, you can expect to pay from forty to three hundred dollars for your golf bag.
