Golf Experts Swear These Golf Bags Are Serious Game-Changers

Whether you're a weekend golfer or have dreams of being in the LPGA someday, picking the right golf bag is an essential part of ensuring your time on the course in a hole-in-one. But with so many options currently on the market, it can be hard to know what features are truly the most important for your game.

"Choosing a golf bag is a very personal process in my opinion," says Carrie Abernathy, CEO of A Woman With Drive, a travel and golf blog. "For me, I have to find a bag that is unique and matches my personal style, but is also functional for my serious golf play."

One of the best places to start, explains Jenn Harris, founder of The High Heel Golfer, is to think about whether you plan on riding or walking through your tee time. This will narrow your options to a cart, lightweight carry, or hybrid bag before you start thinking about what other features are a must.

Having more than one bag might also be a good option for you, adds Abernathy, who has several bags that she chooses from depending on the type of game she's playing that day, including a simple, super lightweight one for when she plans to walk, and a heavier cart bag that comes with "all the bells and whistles."

"At the end of the day, going to a store to get a feel for bag heft and style are your best bet," she says. You should also not be afraid of making a statement with your bag, Harris says. Not only does having a bright and colorful bag make it easier to identify your cart, but Abernathy says it just kind of makes you feel better, too. "You're excited about getting to the course, and it's another element of your fashion and style."
