I’ve competed at every level—from high school tournaments to professional events. And through all those rounds, one thing became clear: your golf bag matters more than you think.
It’s not just a vessel for carrying your clubs—it’s about having exactly what you need, when you need it, without fail. The right bag lets you focus on your game. The wrong one? It slows you down. Here’s what I’ve learned over the years about choosing the perfect bag.
1. Match Your Bag to Your Playing Style
Think about your ideal round. Are you walking every hole, carrying your own bag? Or are you riding, with storage space in the glove box? Over 40 years of golf, I’ve played every type of round imaginable, and here’s what works:
-
Stand Bags – Best for walking. Light, balanced, and easy to carry.
-
Cart Bags – Perfect if you ride and want maximum storage. (definitely get one with a stand)
-
Pencil Bags – Minimalist, ultra-lightweight, and all about the essentials. (still should incorporate a stand)
-
Hybrid Bags – A mix of both—versatile enough to carry or throw on a cart.
2. Storage & Organization: The Difference Between Being "On" & Scrambling
Nothing’s worse than digging for a tee, ball marker, or fresh ball when you should be focused on your shot. The best bags keep everything in a logical place so you never have to think twice. Over the years, I’ve learned to look for:
-
Dividers that actually make sense—no tangled clubs.
-
Pockets that are placed for convenience, not just for show.
-
Insulated compartments—because there’s nothing better than a cold drink on the back nine.
3. Weight & Comfort: Every Ounce Counts
I’ve walked tournament rounds in brutal heat, where carrying a heavy bag felt like an extra three strokes per side. A good bag is lightweight without feeling flimsy, with ergonomic straps that don’t dig into your shoulders.
