Golf Bags

Golf BagsGolf bags are what we use to transport our most prized possessions – our golf clubs. This category contains both bags that we take out with us on the links and travel bags.

Among the bags that take on the golf course there are two major groups: cart bags and carry bags. If you are a golfer that never plans on throwing the sticks over your shoulder and humping them around for eighteen holes then you can skip down to the cart bag section. However the nice thing about carry bags is you have the option to walk or ride every time you tee it up.

Carry Bags – The main thing I focus on when picking out a carry bag is the weight, usually the lighter the better, and of course one that is self standing. My favorite is the Superlight Sun Mountain Stand Bag 3.5. It’s very light but will still hold all the necessities. And as I get older I find that I am dependant on a lot more stuff when I’m out there – sun screen, water bottle, extra balls, rain suit, sweater, a fishing pole.

I like Sun Mountain because of the price point too. The name Sun Mountain is not one of your huge name recognized brands like Titleist or Callaway and thus the bags are less expensive. What’s more is Sun Mountain makes a lot of the bags for Titleist. And you can get your favorite sports team on your bag, for example: WSU Sun Mountain Golf Stand Bag.

Cart Bags – Cart bags can get pretty fancy and provide all the conveniences of home. Remember Rodney Dangerfield’s golf bag in Caddyshack? My favorite of this category is also by Sun Mountain. It’s the Sun Mountain Micro Cart Bag. I love this bag because of the insulated cooler pouch. The bag will pay for itself just in money saved not buying overpriced drinks from the cart girl! It also has two full clothing pockets.

Travel Bags – Travel bags are important to keep the sticks safe when you are flying and driving. In this category, the basic credo applies: “You get what you pay for.” You can get a pretty cheap hard sided bag like the Golf Guard Economy Travel Case. This will work if you only take a few trips a year.

If you travel more than a few times a year, then invest in something more hardy and user friendly. My favorite is the Sun Mountain Golf Travel Cover. I like this bag because it is soft sided and because it is self standing.

Finally, for an interesting hybrid travel bag and cart bag, check out the Plano Cargo Golf Cart Bag. With this cool bag you can head straight from the airport to the first tee box without having to do more than pull off the hard top.
