Golf bag
The bag that carries a golfer’s clubs, balls and accessories around the course for a full round.
Overview
A golf bag holds the clubs upright and separated so they can be selected quickly, along with balls, tees and anything else carried for a round. Because a round covers a long walk, how the bag is moved matters: lighter carry bags have shoulder straps, while heavier cart bags are designed to be wheeled or ride on a buggy.
It is listed as optional rather than essential because clubs can be carried without one, and many courses hire bags and trolleys.
Good to know
- Dividers keep clubs separated so the right one is easy to find.
- Carry bags are lighter; cart bags are heavier but easier to wheel.
- A full round is a long walk, so how the bag moves matters more than its capacity.
- Bags and trolleys can usually be hired at a course.
