You probably would know how the golf bag can be used for various circumstances and how the correct equipment can make a vast difference in affecting your experience with the game. But what if you're just a newcommer to the game? Chances are, you may not realize the necessity of the right type of equipment. And although there are various different types available, choosing the right type can influence your level of enjoyment with the game. In this article, we will explore 2 basic kinds of golf bags.
A golf bag is essential when it comes to its practicality. It's a place to keep and manage your clubs whilst you move about on the course. If you're a road warrior and want to mix business with a few rounds of golf during your travels, get a golf travel bag. There are 2 main types of golf travel bags, namely the carry and cart types. The former comes with shoulder straps and since it's made of light weight material, it's great for people who actually walk around the golf course. On the other hand, the cart bag is slightly larger and heavier and since it's meant to be held to the back of the golf cart, is more convenient for people who prefers to move via the golf cart.
That said however, some golf courses doesn't allow walking and the use of golf cart is compulsory. It then makes sense to get one golf bag of each type, isn't it? But if you're just starting out and have a limited budget, get a carry bag first since this type of carry golf bag is pretty much allowed in any type of golf courses. Although it is specifically designed to be used on courses which allow walking, you can strap it to the back of the golf cart as if it's a cart bag, if you're on a course where transport via golf cart is the only means. In the event you get the cart bag as your first purchase, you're very likely limited to golf carts only. Some people have tried lugging a cart bag around while walking but since the carry bag is much heavier, carrying it around can be a strain and that inevitably affects your game.
Nowadays, some models of carry bags comes with stands. They're usually referred to as the carry stand bags and is getting pretty popular with many golfers. This type of carry bag has legs which automatically extends, thereby allowing the golf bag to be held in an slightly upright position, holding the bag off the ground. Different pockets, golf clubs and other information can be easily accessed, making them one of the growing favorites of novice and seasoned golfers alike.
