Golf Shag Bags

Although most golf shag bags are built typically the same way, these practice bags have many different uses. Your short game practice is made easier because all you need to do is grab the top part of the bag by the metal handle that you hold on to as you pick up your balls. Simply position the bottom of the tube on top of the ball and depress the metal or sometimes plastic tube that extends from the bag shaft over the golf ball that you would like to pick up. Once depressed, the ball will load up into the shaft and is secured without ever bending over to pick up a golf ball. The ball will keep moving up the cylinder until it falls into the bag. To recover the golf balls from the bag, simply use the zipper on the side of the bag and empty.

Players fill their golf shag bag with different types of golf balls. Some players fill their practice bags with golf balls that they have found on the golf course. Others who play at a high level go ahead and purchase new balls to use in their practice bags. This may seem a little extreme but these players want to simulate real conditions as much as possible. The other in-between option is to purchase some refurbished golf balls to fill your bag.

Another use of golf shag bags are at country clubs and resorts. Most golf courses have six to ten of these on hand at any one time. This allows their employees to pick areas that the big picker can not reach such as around the flag or near the net that runs down the edge of the driving range. In addition, a golf shag bag allows them to pick balls that are in wet areas that the picker can not run through with out getting stuck or tearing up the turf on the practice facility.
