Few things are more important to your golf game than a good golf bag. (Well, maybe your skills) For one, golf bags come in many different colors and a wide variety of styles. You can choose a bag for the features or pick a color to match your apparel.

Some bags have legs that fold out when they are placed on the ground (like a tripod) and stand upright so you dont have to bend down and pick it up. Thats a nice feature, especially if you tend to walk the course!

All golf bags have compartments for sorting your golf clubs. Each golfer has their own way of organizing clubs, and picking the right bag will allow you to perfect your own system. Some golfers, though, are lazy and just stick their clubs in the compartments, grabbing whichever one they want when a particular club is needed (if they can find it!)

Some golf bags even have tubes to protect the club grips. These are nice to have so you can get your clubs out much easier. The clubs are never tangled up, and the grips will last a lot longer.

Another important factor in choosing a golf bag is the number of pockets it has. Frankly, theres no such thing as too many pockets in a golf bag. First, one of the pockets will be used to hold the golf bags hood, which is used to keep the clubs 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 out of your eyes and your hands 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 doesnt hurt to have a pocket to carry another dozen balls, just in case.

Just imagine trying to play golf without a bag. You would be constantly stooping over, picking up clubs, tees, balls, towels and the divot tool. Then you would have to walk to the ball, drop all of the clubs and gear, select a club, hit the ball, and start the process all over again. It would be a major pain in the butt and would make it nearly impossible to finish playing a round of golf!
