Why Is That Golf Bag Makers Don’t?

Monday, December 29th, 2008

Jack G asked:


I’ve been playing golf on/off for the last 15 years now and to this day, I’m still stumped that golf bag makers don’t make a fair amount of good golf bags with the added ‘padding’ on the right side of the golf bag!

For clarification: If you were to walk into any Pro shop and look at any of the ’stand bags’ which may line the walls and/or sales floor…You’ll notice that all the bags have ‘padding’ on just one side..which is usually on the left-side of the bag, to help protect ‘right-handed golfers’….Yet, I myself don’t carry my bag in a way where I need padding on the ‘right side’..but rather on the left side of the bag…as when I go to grab my bag after a shot and start walking up to my next shot, I always grab the bag with my left hand and swing it over my left shoulder first, then using the now customary ‘dual strap’, swing the other strap over my right shoulder.

Why is it it’s easier to get fitted for proper golf clubs, but it’s so hard

How easy is it to damage a golf club shaft?

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

xeroxman2901 asked:


I had a golf bag in my trunk and someone put a rigid 20-30 lb suitcase in the middle of the bag, and a 15-20lb bag on the heads. I drove around for a while on a rough road in heavy traffic, so lots of hard turns and potholes. It looks like the club shaft that was directly beneath the suitcase is slightly bent, but it’s hard to tell.

These are steel, regular flex shafts.

Golf Bags Protect Your Back

Friday, December 19th, 2008

Neil Bennett asked:


Prevent back pain by lifting and carrying your golf bags correctly

Carrying a heavy golf bag for 18 holes can do some serious damage to your back. Not only can the weight cause your spine to shrink, but could create serious problems with the disks and nerves. And the last thing a keen golfer needs is back pain!

Follow these tips to lifting, carrying and using your golf bag correctly, and keep your back pain-free:

• Avoid carrying your golf bag where possible. Invest in a trolley and pull it instead.

• When lifting your golf bag in and out of the car keep your back straight and bend your knees.

• Bend your knees to pick up your golf bag after playing a shot, even if it’s on a stand

• Choose a golf bag with a double strap and make sure the weight is evenly distributed when you carry it

• Get fit for golf and focus on your core muscles, which will help support your back

• Keep a good posture as you walk around the course. Tighten your stomach muscles when you’re carrying your golf bag for extra back support

The Best Golf Bags for Backs

When it comes to choosing a golf bag there are certain styles and features that you can choose to help support your back, including:

Trolley Bags

These golf bags are designed specifically to sit on the back of a golf trolley or cart, keeping pockets and the club holder easily accessible. Most models will come in a lightweight design so they are equally easy to carry.

Pull Trolleys

If you opt for a trolley bag, you will need to invest in a pull trolley as well. Look for a design with a sturdy steel construction to support your golf bag, and find one that folds in two for easy storage. As you’ll have to pull it for a few hours at a time, it is worth trying out the different handles for comfort.

Stand Bags

This style of golf bag is ideal if you are confident in carrying your bag the correct way, but would like to avoid bending over to put it down and pick it up at every hole. These golf bags have a built in stand meaning that when you stop for a shot you can stand it upright and have easy access to your clubs and tees without risking back strain.

Pencil Bags

The Pencil golf bag is a great choice for golfers with strong, healthy backs, but who don’t want to carry a full bag. The pencil is an ultra-slim and lightweight style, perfect for shorter games and use in warmer weather (as it doesn’t offer as much protection against the rain as a standard golf bag).

The Most Underrated Accessory - The Golf Bag

Friday, December 19th, 2008

Paul Hata asked:


Golf clubs usually cost quite a chunk of change, especially if you are buying some of the more high-end ones. If you spend a lot of money on a set of golf clubs, you will also want to buy one of the nicest carrying cases that you can. It is a great way to protect your investment in the long run as well as experience benefits immediately with your game.

Read on to find out about the ways that great golf club bags can help any golfer. If you weren’t completely sold on the idea prior to this, you may find that a change of mind is in order. Just do’t rush too fast to the store to buy a golf bag!

Golfers always love to try out different courses, and traveling is the best way to do that. Golf vacations can be had in almost any part of the world, and if you are planning on going one ever then you will probably want to bring your clubs along with you. When you bring a laptop on a trip, you are always careful to keep it safe from being crushed, sat on, stolen, or any of a number of other unpleasant things. If you buy a sturdy golf case that can hold its own against other luggage, your golf clubs will have a much higher chance of making it to your destination intact.

A proper golf bag can help you to improve your game at home by keeping all of your clubs organized. As you trek around the golf course setting your personal records, you will likely need to switch clubs many times throughout the course of the game.

Get all of your golf courses into one bag that will not only protect them from any hazards that might arise, but will also keep them in a neat and organized fashion. You will quickly get used to the way they are laid out, and be able to switch one club out for another in a matter of seconds. The golf club bag will also protect your clubs in the unlikely event of some sort of crash.

Golf club bags are very helpful if you carry a lot of other gear around with you during your golfing expeditions. Most of them come with other pockets and sections besides the main one where the golf clubs go. You can use these for water bottles, extra golf balls, cues, first aid kits, or any other things that you wish to bring along with you to ensure for a happier and smoother game.

If you have something specific in mind that you would like to bring along, check out the bag beforehand to make sure that the item will fit. Look for golf bags that will fit your items, not items that will fit your golf bag.

As you can see, having a golf bag is much preferable to simply tossing all of your golf clubs somewhere where they could suffer all sorts of horrible fates. Therefore if you do not already have a golf club bag, you should go out as soon as possible and begin searching for one. They are very cheap compared to the actual golf clubs that they will be housing, so there’s no reason not to get one.

Soft Travel Bag VS Hard Travel Case

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

Max Johnson asked:


Do you travel frequently with your golf clubs? What is your budget for a golf travel bag? Do your golf trips mostly include air travel or auto travel? While looking to find the best golf travel bag for yourself, you should be asking yourself these types of questions before you go on your next golf trip or golf vacation.

A soft golf travel bag is typically made of a canvas type material and padded on the inside and they have a hard bottom to protect your golf bag. These type of bags have wheels to help golfers transport their gear from location to location.

Advantages to these bags include that you can also carry other golf gear. Many bags, such as the Izzo golf travel bags, have pockets within the bag that you can pack shoes, clothes or other golf accessories. In addition, an Izzo or a similar golf travel bag will break down for easy storage in your hotel room or at home while you are waiting to go on your next golf trip.

Some people do not think that these bags give you as much protection for the club heads as a hard case. In my experience, I have not found this to be true. I take my golf towel an weave it throughout the shafts to give some extra protection along with the padding. Again, I have never had a problem with a golf shaft breaking while on a golf trip. If you are not comfortable with this, then you can purchase a “stiff arm” accessory.

A golf hard case is as it sounds. It is a case that you place your golf bag and golf clubs into for their security and provides the highest amount of protection. Typically, with a hard case, you will not have extra space to pack clothes or golf accessories.

Since a hard golf travel case provides the most protection for your golf clubs, hard cases are a smart choice for the golfer who flies to the majority of your golf vacation spots. Often, airlines will cover any damage incurred when your clubs are in a hard golf case.

When it comes to storage at home or on the road, hard cases take up more room than other styles. The bulk of a hard golf case also makes it difficult to fit into the trunk of many rental cars. Hard golf cases might not make as much sense as hybrids or soft-covers if you do not fly to many of your golf vacations.

You Will Find a Big Choice of Cheap Golf Accessories Online

Monday, December 15th, 2008

Boris Tomson asked:


You Will Find A Big Choice Of Cheap Golf Accessories Online

You have probably realized that golf equipment is expensive, but you can save some money by looking for cheap golf accessories. If you have spent a lot of money buying your golf clubs and golf balls, you will not want to spend that much on your golf accessories.

Even if you have played golf for a while and are happy with your golf clubs and golf balls, there will always be some item of golf accessories that you want to replace. The golf beginner will have probably already invested in their golf clubs and balls, but maybe they still need to buy a number of golf accessories.

Your best bet is to look for cheap golf accessories online. Online stores can offer a huge selection of golf accessories and they can keep their prices low as they don’t have the overheads of a high street golf store. The only thing you have to decide on is which golf accessories are necessary and which ones you can buy at a later date.Visit to : http://golfclub-review.blogspot.com

The golf accessories category is normally every single item of golf equipment excluding the golf clubs, golf balls, and golf shoes. You could find that a few online golf stores put golf bags and golf apparel into separate categories while others will have them in a general golf accessories category.

Normally, when you buy a full set of golf clubs, you will get a golf bag and maybe golf balls included in the package. If not, the first major accessory that will be on your shopping list will be a golf bag. Most online golf stores will present you with a big selection of golf bags but you must decide first of all what type of golf bag is for you.

Golf bag types include the carry golf bag and the stand golf bag - both bags are designed to be carried on your shoulder with the difference being that the stand bag has a fold out stand to stand it upright that keeps the bag from getting dirty or wet. Another type is the cart bag which has the benefit that it is somewhat larger and can so fit more gear inside - they are made to be put on a push cart or an electric cart. Lastly, there are staff or tour golf bags which are considerably much larger and heavier but are normally only carried by caddies for the touring pros.http://golfclub-review.blogspot.com

Obviously, if you choose a cart bag, you will then need a golf cart. The majority of golfers won’t need an electric cart as they are a lot more expensive and you have to always make sure that the battery is fully charged up before playing a round of golf. If you like walking and are fit enough, then a push cart is the best option for the price. Nowadays, these push carts are extremely lightweight, robust, maneuverable, and they fold up to a small size to fit in any car.

That only leaves you with a few items of small cheap golf accessories - a golf glove, golf tees, a divot tool, and golf ball markers. All these golf accessories can be found easily at online golf stores cheaply. If you play your golf in Northern climates, then you will probably need a golf umbrella and a golf towel as you can never guarantee the weather.

If you are just starting out to play golf, you can do without special golf apparel; just make sure that the clothes you use conform to the dress code of the golf club and that they are comfortable for golfing. Remember, to save money, look for cheap golf accessories online.  http://golfclub-review.blogspot.com

Daniel P asked:


I am taking a trip at the end of the week and was looking at the airline requirements for baggage and it says 80 linear inches total and my bag is a little puffy should be under the requirement depending on the measurement.

aanstalokaniskiodov_nikolai asked:


I have lost quite a bit of my golf equipment due to minor fits of anger in which I toss my golfing equipment into the water hazards on the course. I think the cure for this is finding equipment that floats.
