I mean a full set of golf clubs, including the driver, woods and irons.
Or, how about only woods and irons?

The origins of golf clubs can be traced back to 1826 where club maker Robert Forgan of Scotland used American hickory wood to manufacturer shafts. Hickory was soon adopted as the wood of choice despite cheaper alternatives available.

1848 saw the conception of the Guttie golf balls which saw traditional long nose golf clubs become obsolete. A new generation of golf club was required to cope with the increased stress associated with this new type of golf ball. These clubs best resemble the modern set of woods in today’s game of golf.

In the early nineteenth century, golfers associated Scotland with quality golf equipment in the same way that we associate fine chocolate being produced in Belgium and Switzerland – at this time golf equipment production in Scotland was considered to be an extremely profitable and worthy business.

At the start of twentieth century, America had started to manufacturer and export golf clubs in large volumes, whilst replacing outdated materials such as hickory, with hard woods such as beech – the new choice for golf club heads. A growing demand for hand-forged metal club heads had also arrived at this time – in 1902, the first groove-faced irons appeared and offered an increased amount of backspin, compared to wooden heads.

Despite an initially slow take-up, steel shafts had been experimented with since the late nineteenth century. Steel shafts became legalised in 1929, after the Prince of Wales was spotted using a set of steel shafted golf clubs at St. Andrews. As popularity grew for the steel shafted golf club – the US Open was the first major tournament to feature this new type of golf club.

Selecting the right golf bag for your equipment, clubs and accessories is very important. Once you have selected the right golf bag for you and your game, you will have more time to focus and concentrate on your game and having fun. You can find a golf bag that is right for you in sporting goods stores as well as online golf shops. Below are some of the differences between the different types of golf bags available.

Golf stand bags are designed to carry during your round of golf. In turn, they are made of lightweight material and have an automatic stands or legs. The stands or legs will release or kick out when set on the ground. This type of a carry bag is much easier to use than a sunday bag. You just set the bag down to the right at your ball and start the process to select your golf club. Golf stand bags are a must for any golfer who walks to enjoy their round.

Golf stand bags have evolved to become highly lightweight, practical, and comfortable to carry. Golf stand bags come in many designs and styles, with premium golf stand bags offering more pockets, functionality and durability than previous carry bags. Before you decide which bag to purchase, try on the bag with equipment in it to make sure it is comfortable for you. Go ahead and adjust the straps as you need them to get a good feel for what the action of the bag will be when walking on the golf course.

Many of these bags have pockets that are placed high on the bag that will hold a water bottle or a cell phone conveniently. Other pockets can be used to keep your rain gear, snacks, medicine, towels, umbrellas or extra clothing. Pockets with lockable zips are essential to hold your wallet and other valuables such as watches and jewelry.

Golf cart bags have a heavier more durable body construction and are designed specifically to ride on a golf cart during a round. Golf cart bags are great for the golfer who prefers to use a golf cart during their round. Golf cart bags are larger golf bags with more compartments for various golf related equipment. Golf cart bags are made of different materials such as leather and nylon. Obviously the leather bag will need more care than the nylon bag to keep it in great looking shape. Some golf cart bags even have separated cylinders for each club. This protects each golf club as well as makes pulling a golf club out of the bag very easy.

Womens golf stand bags are an extremely popular choice thanks to their lightweight and comfortable carrying options. As the name suggests, this type of golf bag is equipped with a stand which folds out to support the bag when you rest it on the ground. Many of these bags can be as light as 2.5 to 3.5 pounds before loaded your golf equipment into the bag.

The more you play golf, the more sensitive you are likely to become to the golf bag that you choose to use for your game. You can choose golf equipment that meets a variety of practical needs, while also selecting from a range of styles that express the correct tone for who you are as a golfer. Golf bags are no exception to this rule. The golf bag you choose will not only play an important role in your game on a practical level by determining the accessibility and protection of your clubs. It sends a message to spectators and fellow golfers regarding your attitude and capabilities in the game of golf.

When selecting a golf bag, you will first choose between two important styles: cart bags and stand carry bags. The golf cart bag is designed for play with a golf cart. A cart-style bag can typically offer a wide variety of features, pockets and extra storage that a stand carry bag may not have. When the golf cart is going to be the chief mode of transportation for your clubs and other equipment, choosing a solid, durable, and well-equipped cart bag allows you to maximize the equipment you carry as well as the way you carry it.

The second major type of golf bag is a golf stand carry bag. This type of bag differs from a golf cart bag because it is designed to be carried not by the golf cart, but by the golfer. Therefore, one of the most noticeable differences between the two is the bag’s layout. A bag meant to be carried will come with one or two shoulder straps, and will also be equipped with strong but lightweight legs to prop the bag up when you stop to take a shot. Stand carry bags are also known for being lightweight while still strong and durable. The more streamlined the bag’s features are, the easier it is for you to carry your gear as you traverse the course on foot.

Therefore, each of the two major golf bag styles presents different advantages, depending on what you are looking for in your game. If you and those with whom you play prefer golf carts, then the golf cart bag is certainly the preferred style for you. This type is a durable, protective bag that presents to you many options in terms of extra storage and features. For golfers who walk, a golf stand carry bag is the route to go. Designed to be lightweight, durable, protective and easy to carry, a carry bag gives you everything you need with nothing you don’t.

Ultimately, you should buy your golf bag based on personal preference and style. Determine which type of bag you prefer, or have one of each for varying games. Then assess the features offered by each bag and compare them to your own needs and preferences as a golfer. Lastly, style can also play a role in your selection. Weigh these factors to select a golf bag that is right for you as a golfer and as an individual.

Golf travel bags or travel golf cases frequently provide golfers that use them with many problems. The problems include the space required, the weight and even the price for the golf travel bags. Depending upon the manufacturer, travel golf cases can be considered really expensive. With this being said, you will typically get what you pay for especially if you want a bit more protection than just soft cover travel golf cases can provide.

If you are getting ready to go on a golf vacation and need to look at travel golf cases for your golf bag, what are the features that would be essential to you in a golf travel case? Make a list of then jot down the features that would be “nice to have” and another list of features that are a “must have.” The level of protection that you will need will be determined by the type of golf vacation you will be taking as well as the golf vacations you may take in the future.

If your future golf vacations are only a drive away, then your needs will be more in the lines of lust a softer travel golf cases. If you will be traveling by bus, train or with an airline and you are not handling your own bag, it is highly suggested to go with more protection as typically the bag handlers do not care as much about your golf clubs as you do.

Most people who buy golf travel cases take road trips as well as fly. These golfers are regular golfers who like to take their clubs with them when they go on vacation and not rent a set while on their golf vacations from the respective golf course. You need a high degree of protection when flying, since your clubs have to be protected by the rough handling they can get on and off the aircraft. Again, the bag handlers do not care as much about your golf clubs as you do.

Keep in mind while you are looking at new golf travel cases, you also need something that will be fairly easy to get in and out of the trunk. Your golf bag will also need to comfortably fit inside the cover, along with any other contents such as golf shoes, rain suit, golf clothes, etc. that you could possibly take with you on a golf trip. If it’s only a short trip, you might consider a travel case that could double as a luggage case. Manufacturers such as Club Glove offer golf travel cases that you can fit in a change of clothing and any other overnight kit you need as well as your golf bag and apparel.

If you have decided on the light-weight and easy handling of a soft cover travel bag, your golf bag should be strapped in securely. In addition, your clubs should be secured from rattling around. This can be done by wrapping a towel around the club heads and shafts which stick out of the end of the golf bag. Some extra protection for the club heads would also be useful. In addition, the light weight travel bag does typically offer more attractive pricing with the trade off of not having as much protection.

If your decision leads you to purchase a harder case with more protection, make sure it has wheels. You will be able to pull it behind you through the airport as you tend to have this bag as well as the rest of your luggage to handle. Make sure you try out pulling the harder case or cover with a set bag and set of golf clubs loaded before you make your purchase. Of course, the case itself needs to adequately protect your golf clubs with some extra protection. After all, that is why you are making the purchase.

Also, keep in mind that you will need to store this case at home while your not traveling. The handles should be good enough to help you lift it to and from the trunk, and the strapping should hold your bag and clubs securely and without rattling. The travel covers from Izzo Golf have all the features mentioned above and the company stands behind their product if something should go wrong.

With all of today’s offerings in golf travel cases, there are many features to take care of all of the needs you may have in your travel case. Sit down and create the list of features that you are looking for and this will help you narrow the search. Do comparative shopping and you can save a little money and own a case that suits your needs best. Golf travel cases come in all different sizes and colors and makes, so the choice an easy one.

Ladies golf is fact becoming the thing women do in their spare time. It is no wonder why it is such a popular sport. Whether you have a lady golfer in your life or you are one, there are many unique and customized lady golfer accessories from which to choose.

When it comes to clubs. Balls and tees the female flair for pretty things is not lost. Flower shaped golf tees may actually seem a little over the top to some but others may find that to be just what they had in mind. A feminine grip for golf clubs would in some cases be much smaller than the males so this is another area where the lady style would accommodate and flatter the female golfer. Perhaps golf balls that were pink might seem just the thing for a lady golfer, however using any color or type golf ball is also an option.

Apparel is probably the one place where most women golfers might stand out and not share a commonality with their male counterparts. When looking for a great gift for the lady golfer in your life look no further than the latest in golf apparel.

From thermal outerwear to open and breezy styles you will find just your style available for every type of weather. Certain name brands are exclusive to the lady golfer and worn proudly. Good solid golf shoes are also vastly important accessories to any golf game. Replacement spikes and spike cleaners are found in any pro shop and for any type of cleat or spike. You may wish to purchase a wrench kit to make spike replacement more simple and fast. And suede shoe bags are a fashion statement as well as a distinct means of keeping the golf course out of the trunk of your car.

Adding the feminine colors is not the only way to make golf accessories for women stand in a unique light. There is also a style unique to the lady golf accessories. Women’s golf gloves, hats, and visors are also a great gift idea. Sunglasses that block UV rays and prevent unnecessary glare are a wonderful gift idea. Golf towels and head covers can be personalized in any number of ways. Golf bags and luggage accessories for women can also be personalized.

Golf jewelry can be found. Rhinestone letter charms and any number of golf related charms are always a great gift for the lady golfer. Gift certificates can be purchased in any increment and make excellent gifts for the golfer who has everything. Gifts can be purchased at any number of online or real time accessory shops in the world.

John asked:


Do you think it is possible to use a golf bag as a regular backpack, to hold some books, possibly some clothes, and what have you.

I don’t have any experience with golf bags whatsoever but was just curious as to whether they could be substituted as a regular backpack, and if so, how practical or impractical that would be.

Cheers and thanks.
