Golf Bag

Golf bags are huge carrying bags used for storing and transporting the golf kits safely. The bags are designed to protect and organize the golf clubs. Earlier golf bags used to be made from less durable materials but now these are manufactured from canvas, nylon or leather with metal or plastic reinforcements and framings. These bags incorporate several pockets to hold various golf equipment required during a course of play. These golf clubs are designed in such a way that the required golf clubs can be removed from the bag and placed again without any hassle and interference.

Types of Golf Bags

• Carry bags - The carry bags are lightweight and are usually required by players to carry on their back. These are made from plastic or nylon to keep them light in weight rather than heavy materials like leather. They have backpack-like straps which aid in picking them up quickly. These bags are mostly used to carry less than all allotted gold clubs (14) and may or may not come with stands.
• Staff bags - Staff bags are also referred to as tour bags. These bags have a larger space with a diameter of approx. 8 to 12 cm and are massive in weight. The bags are usually made from leather and have a logo of the organization.  Most professional players prefer using staff bags for carrying their golf equipment and are carried by assistants of professional players or caddies.
• Cart bags - The bags are average in weight (more cumbersome than the carry bags but lighter than the staff bags). Lifting the bags is not easy, and they have a diameter from 5 to 9 inches. They have more storage space with the facility of optimal organization. These are manufactured from a variety of materials such as plastic, nylon, leather or from their hybrids.
• Travel bags - These bags are specifically designed with heavy paddings and locks on the bag cover and zippers to protect the golf clubs from theft and abuse while travelling. There are two basic variants of travel bags - hard travel bags and soft travel bags. The soft travel bags have additional padding on the top and external pockets. The hard travel bags have a hard-top cover with an outer shell. The hard bags are heaviest to carry and are challenging to lift too.
