Golf Bags - Page 38

There are many different types of golf bags available to fit any golfer. Whether a golfer wants a carry bag or a standing cart bag, buying used is a low-cost option for top-quality brands. Even high-end bags can be found at a good price by buying vintage or second-hand.

If a golfer plans to walk, a lightweight bag, such as the Callaway HyperLite Zero, which weighs less than 3 lbs., might be a good choice. A cart bag, like the Sun Mountain C130, would be designed specifically for golfers who prefer not to carry. Varied designs in many colors allow for individual taste in golf bags for men, women, and juniors. Top golf bags are:

It’s recommended that golfers carry fourteen basic clubs in their golf bag. These may vary from golfer to golfer, but every golfer will need:

Golf Clubs:

• a driver
• at least one wood (such as a 3 wood or 5 wood)
• possibly a hybrid or two (a cross between a wood and an iron)
• several irons
• wedges, usually a sand wedge and a pitching wedge or chipper
• a putter

Other tools and accessories

A typical bag might also include:

• balls and tees
• scorekeeping pencils, a ball marker, and a divot tool
• a golf towel and a club brush
• gloves, a range finder, and a bag tag
• water, snacks, and other drinks
• necessities for weather, such as a hat, an umbrella, sunscreen, rain covers, etc.

Buying used gear is a sustainable way to score high-quality items at a fraction of the cost. Not only can you find great deals, but you might also stumble upon rare or discontinued gear that’s no longer available in stores. When buying a used golf bag, here's what to look for:

✔️ There are no rips or tears in the golf bag. 
✔️ All zippers work and are in good condition. 
✔️ Make sure the legs open and the bag can stand on its own.
