A Good Golf Bag is important
Few things are more important to a golfer than a good golf bag.
First off, golf bags come in many styles and a wide variety of
colors. You can choose a bag for style, features or pick a color
to match your mood.
Some have legs that fold out when they are placed on the ground
and stand upright so the golfer doesn't have to bend down and
pick it up. That's a nice feature in golf bags, especially if
the golfer tends to walk the course, as many do. There is plenty
of bending to be done when a golfer is trying to remove an
obstacle from around his or her ball, or to get the ball out of
the cup, so any way to avoid bending over is more than
appreciated.
All golf bags have compartments where the golf clubs are to be
placed. Each golfer has his or her own way of doing this and
putting clubs where he or she wants them. Some golfers, though,
are lazy and just stick their clubs in the compartments,
grabbing whichever one they want when a particular club is
needed. But, some golf bags have tubes to protect the club
grips. These are nice to have. With the tubes, a golfer can get
his or her clubs out easier. The clubs are never tangled up, and
the grips last a lot longer.
Another important factor in choosing a golf bag is the number of
pockets it has. Frankly, there's no such thing as too many
pockets in a golf bag. First, one of the pockets will be used to
hold the golf bag's hood. The hood is used to keep the clubs and
bag from getting drenched when it rains. Another pocket will be
used to keep
extra towels (believe it or not, extra towels are
important in the summer to keep the sweat off the brow and out
of the eyes, along with keeping the hands relatively dry. Then,
there is the pocket used for keeping the extra golf tees and
possibly the divot tool. Finally, a pocket is needed for the
golf balls themselves, and it doesn't hurt to have a pocket to
carry another dozen balls in, just in case.
Some courses are so difficult it is easy to lose a lot of balls
during 18-holes of play. This makes having an extra box of balls
around a good thing, but there has to be somewhere in the golf
bag to keep them, which means another pocket.
Imagine trying to play golf without a bag. The golfer would be
constantly stooping over picking up clubs, tees, balls, towels
and the divot tool. Then he or she would have to walk to the
ball, drop all of the clubs and stuff, select a club, hit the
ball, and start the process all over again. It would be a major
pain in the neck, and would make it nearly impossible to finish
playing a round of golf. So, golf bags are an essential part of
the game of golf.
