Types of golf bags
There are lots of different types of golf bag, but for convenience, we can split them into four categories: cart bags, stand or carry bags, staff or tour bags and travel bags. Click on the links for a more precise description of each. In a nutshell, cart bags are designed to be used with carts (surprise, surprise), i.e. you're not expected to carry them around, so they don't need to sacrifice design features in the cause of carrying comfort. Stand or carry bags are designed to be carried manually around the course, so are lighter than the cart equivalents. The stand versions come with a retractable v-shaped tripod-like stand so they can be held upright when you put them on the ground. Tour or staff bags are the kind of carry bags you see on the professional golf tours, and feature the manufacturer or brand name very prominently. Travel bags are simply designed to protect your clubs during transport. Think of them as a suitcase or covering for your bag or clubs. |
