What To Look For When Choosing a Golf Bag

Knowing what goes into a good golf bag will help you make a more informed decision once it's time to buy a new one. While it may be tempting to go with an option that looks cool or is cheap, there are other factors you should consider before making a decision. 

Here are some elements to look out for:

Pockets

In the past, club carriers typically only came with a few pockets for balls, tees, and maybe a small notebook. 

Today, bags have numerous specialized pockets for a wide variety of accessories. You should look for a bag that has a, umbrella holder, a ball/tee pocket, and a soft pocket for your valuables.

Having this selection of pockets will enhance your game and make you more comfortable on the course. Think about what items you usually bring with you on the course and find a bag with a sufficient number of pockets. 

All the items above come with adequate pockets. You can store practically everything you need while you play.

Type of Straps

Comfortable shoulder straps are extremely vital when choosing a golf bag, especially if you're a walking golfer. The type of straps the bag comes with can vary. Some have a single shoulder strap, where others offer a double strap for additional support. 

That said, some golfers prefer a single strap as it's sometimes easier to carry. Adjustable straps are always desired since they're easier to adapt to your playing style. Depending on how much walking you plan on doing on the course, always check to see what kind of straps the golf bag has to offer. Single straps are designed more for caddies and walking rounds hence the name “the perfect caddie bag”.

Material

Let's face it, buying a new bag is an investment. You want one that will last you as long as you need it. As a result, you should always go with a bag made from durable fabrics. 

After all, what good is a bag if it's going to wear down after a few rounds?

Try and find an option that's also water-resistant, since golfers are no strangers to rain. You can also check the finishing to see how it’ll fare against general wear and tear.
