Golf Bags For More Fun
A better golf bag won't improve your game, and...
...it doesn't make the ball travel farther or straighter. It doesn't give your clubs better grips. But a good bag can certainly make your game more fun and convenient.
A good bag is like a good piece of clothing. It has an attractive appearance, but also makes using it more comfortable and convenient. You can slip clubs in and out of a good bag easily, while they get the maximum protection.
A good bag, like a good pair of shoes, is not only comfortable and attractive, it's durable. Made from quality materials and formed by quality construction, it will last for decades. Many a fine bag has been passed down from father to son, and mother to daughter as a treasured family heirloom that continues to give good service.
Sturdy and attractive leather continues to be used in good bags. But modern composite fabrics have expanded the range of options. With the newer synthetics it's possible to approach the feel and look of fine leather, while actually providing superior durability, as well as excellent weather and scuff resistance.
Many models will offer 5 zippered storage bags to give plenty of places to put your gear. Balls, tees, cloths, brushes and more are standard equipment in anyone's game. 8-way to 14-way full length dividers provide convenience and protection for your clubs. Superior handle material and attachments give ease of use and security when lifting in and out of your car.
Water-resistance and rain proofing is important, too. Many a bag has broken down or just started on the road to ruin prematurely by water damage. Sudden rainfall is common in many golfing areas. Most duffers won't want to stop a game when it's only expected to last a few minutes. Good water handling characteristics means you can continue with confidence.
Extras like clothing pockets, snag-proof zippers and more can raise the bar from 'functional' to 'superior'.
You may want to change a shirt during a long day of golf, one in the morning another in the afternoon. You may want a change of socks, or shoes, or just slip on or off a sweater or jacket. Having large, durable pockets will make that a breeze.
Quality pocket and zipper construction is a must to avoid accidents. Many a wedding ring has been lost on the course because of pencil-sized holes manufactured into the lining to avoid a zipper snag. Superior materials and construction designs make that compromise unnecessary.
Choose a carry bag or a cart bag as your needs and golfing style dictate. Most regular golfers will want one of each. Travel bags are useful for those who fly and take their clubs with them on a regular basis. For those who need the sturdiest type, a staff bag is the way to go. But insist on quality in every type.
Fortunately, no sacrifice of style is required to get a good bag. Every imaginable color, design and feature set is offered today. Whatever your personal taste, there is a bag to meet your wishes.
