What golfer doesn’t appreciate a new bag for the new year? While choosing golf clubs for others can be an impossible task, buying golf bags is a much easier chore. These are some of our best bags for helping your favorite golfer tote their clubs across the golf course and protect those expensive sticks.
Accessory Bags
Accessory bags don’t do much to protect golf clubs, but they’re a great place to store those other necessities of life on and off the course. Everybody knows it’s important to stay hydrated while playing golf on hot summer days. The Callaway Chev Mini Cooler Bag ($24.95) is perfect for that task. Its small size easily fits in a golf cart.
Golfers on the go may need more than just a bag for their clubs, sometimes they need to carry laptops, a change of clothing or other things with them. Laptops and files will easily slip into the two pockets of a Titleist Messenger Bag ($99.95) or they can drop their tablet and other valuables into a Ping 2014 Backpack ($99.95).
Stand Bags
Stand bags give a golfer who carries their clubs across the course an easy way to keep them off the ground. These nifty bags feature retractable legs that fold out to hold the bag up at an angle and quickly collapse when it’s time to move onto the next shot. They have top dividers and can hold a full set of clubs, but many will be rattling against one another during transit. Still, they’re an affordable option and optimized for club-carrying golfers.
3balls.com has a variety of stand bags like the TaylorMade PureLife Stand Bag ($89.95), with a five-way divider and seven pockets for storing valuables and necessities like tees and balls. The Titleist Ultra Lightweight Stand Bag ($159.95) is another great choice, featuring a three-way divider and lots of padding for a comfortable carry.
Cart Bags
For the golfer who tends to ride in a cart and doesn’t have an urge to lug their own clubs around, the cart bag is a great option. These tougher bags are loaded with features, including more pockets, more club dividers and external pockets to protect putters from damage. A stronger bag means a heavier bag, though, so keep that in mind if your golfer is physically limited, since they’ll still have to get the bag in and out of their cart.
If a cart bag is what you’re looking for, take a look at the Callaway 2014 Lightweight Cart Bag (just $69.95), sporting a 5-way divider, 7 strategically placed pockets, including a velour lined valuables pocket and 2 full length apparel pockets. The Nike Sport II Cart Bag ($119.95), sporting a 14-way divider to keep all your clubs separated and 10 total pockets, seven with zippers. The Ping Traverse Cart Bag ($169.95) is a much lighter choice at just 5.5 pounds. It also has a 14-way divider, and an injection molded putter well. The Callaway Chev ORG. Cart Bag ($189.95) is ideal for players who need a lightweight, but sturdy bag. Weighing in under five pounds, this bag features a 14-way divider and nine pockets.
