Golf Accessories – How to Pick The Perfect Golf Bag

Playing 18 rounds is not only fun but also physically demanding. Having the right golf accessories, golf clothes and particularly a golf bag, makes the rounds easier.

While golf carts are still present on many golf courses, the modern golfer prefers to carry his or her own golf clubs and golf accessories. Key to enjoying a great round of golf is having the best golf accessories in the ultimate golf bag that is light and functional. The current trend is to fully carry bags and golf accessories but the best golf bags can also have golf carts attached if desired.

Modern Golf Bags – Comfort and Functionality

The average golf bag should look to comfortably fit all 14 legally permissible golf clubs, tees, spare glove, golf head towel, golf balls, an umbrella and more golf accessories. The key here is in the word comfortably. Taking out the right golf club should be easy, and the design of the bag should allow the golfer to almost seamlessly withdraw the right club, never breaking concentration from the shot to be played.

Modern golf bags tend to come with stands so that when playing a shot, the golf bag can be left in an upright position. Carrying the golf bag has very much improved with double shoulder straps that are well padded. As golfers we love our golf accessories and modern golf bags are made from durable materials that offer a layer of waterproofing as well as the facility to attach an umbrella to protect the golf accessories while playing a shot.

Golf Accessories – What’s In Your Golf Bag?

Given that the current golfing preference is to carry one’s bag around the golf greens, the materials used should be lightweight. Ideally the golf bags should have several deep and double zipped pockets to allow for the safe storage of golf accessories. 

The design of golf bags has evolved so much that while they are highly portable, they often have TARDIS like qualities and are seemingly endless in storing capacity. The temptation to fill every space with golf accessories should be avoided and the most important golf accessories that are used most, such as tees, scorecard holder and a drinks pocket should be within easy reach.
