Golf Bag Types

One of the different types of golf bags is the staff bag. A staff bag is the golf bag that the PGA Tour caddies carry. The staff golf bag is the largest of the group and is probably the most impractical for most golfers. There is a reason they have someone else carry the bag! These tour bags are made of different materials such as leather and some of the new ones are made of nylon. This is done in attempt to make them lighter. Although they look great, much too heavy for me and I would not want to carry this type of bag during a round of golf.

One of the different types of golf bags is the golf cart bag. Golf cart bags are designed just as it sounds. They are made to ride on the back of a golf cart. They have a heavy durable body construction. Golf cart bags are great for the golfer who prefers to use a golf cart during their round. Golf cart bags are larger golf bags with more compartments for various golf related equipment. Cart bags are made of different materials such as leather and nylon. Obviously the leather golf bag will need more care than the nylon bag to keep it in great looking shape. Some golf cart bags even have separated cylinders for each club. This protects each golf club as well as makes pulling a golf club out of the bag very easy.

Another one of the types of golf bags is the carry bag or golf stand bag. These light weight carry bags are definitely the most flexible out of the group of bags. Stand bags have evolved to become highly lightweight, practical, and comfortable to carry during your round or you can put them on a golf cart and still have easy access to each golf club while you play. Golf stand bags come in many designs and styles, with some golf stand bags offering more pockets, functionality and durability than previous carry golf bags. I would suggest that before you decide which bag to purchase, try on the bag with equipment in it to make sure it is comfortable for you. Go ahead and adjust the straps as you need them to get a good feel for what the action of the bag will be when walking on the golf course.

Many of stand bags have pockets that are placed high on the bag that will hold a water bottle or a cell phone conveniently. Other pockets can be used to keep your rain gear, snacks, medicine, towels, umbrellas or extra clothing. Pockets with lockable zips are essential to hold your wallet and other valuables such as watches and jewelry.

After looking at all of the different types of golf bags, I make my final purchase. I like the flexibility that the golf stand bag gives me as I like to walk and sometimes ride to enjoy my round of golf.
