Golf Bags 101: Which Golf Bag is Right For You?

Before you buy, check out our quick and informative guide on Golf Bags from Rock Bottom Golf.  

Golf Bags are essential to your game of golf because you carry all your golf clubs and gear in your bag. The weight and durability of your golf bag are essential considerations. It would help if you had a high-quality and reliable golf bag that would stand the test of time.  

What is a Golf Bag?  

Golf Bags can be crafted and fitted for you, but most golfers use the standard versions. The earliest golfers in Scottish and world history appear to have used a cord to bind their clubs for transport and carrying. So, Golf bags were probably not invented until the late 19th century. The first carrying bag models were made from canvas or leather, reinforced with metal, and standing at a height of ~ 35 inches. The earliest golf bags also had a small opening of about 4.4 inches for the clubs.  

With the overall resurgence of golf after World War II, the golf bag evolved, with a larger opening to accommodate the growing use and need of the bag for nine holes and more clubs, with room for gloves, balls, and other accessories. Manufacturers eventually added a tripod stand, a molded bottom, and shoulder/back strap in the 1950s to make it easier for golfers to use it on the golf course, even with the newly invented golf cart.  

Golf bags have continued to evolve. The current models are not as heavy as the first versions. They’ve gotten more prominent with more functional benefits while being more durable and even more fashionable than ever before. So, how will your golf bag benefit you? 

What to Look For – Top Benefits of Golf Bags  

You will benefit from the best, high-quality Golf Bags that are perfect for your skill level.  

Weight 

While there is a range of options for Golf Bags, one crucial consideration is weight. If you are walking the golf course, you’ll probably need a more lightweight golf bag option, but you might consider larger, more functional options if you plan to use a golf cart.  

Durablility 

Golf bags are now designed to hold up much better than the earlier versions, but you should still look for a brand and model that is designed to be rugged and functional for the long term. You’ll likely have this bag for years to come if you pick the right one. So, part of that durability is how well it holds up in rain-and-shine weather. 

Cost 

The cost of your Golf Bag is always a factor, which may be a significant factor in why you may consider using Golf Bags. At Rock Bottom Golf, we offer a wide selection of new and used Golf Bags, with brands and pricing options that fit your budget.
