When it comes to golf bags there are a ton of options for golfers to choose from. To start, you have cart bags, carry bags, over-the-top tour bags, Sunday bags, stand bags, heck, even travel bags that protect your gamer bag for when you go on cool golf trips.
Let’s just say we’ve shopped our fair share of bags and yeah, it can be daunting to say the least to select just the right one (or two) for your needs.
So which bag is right for you? That depends on where and how you play golf. By default, most golfers own a carry bag. Some a cart or stand bag. And, if you’re like us, you’ve got stashed away in your garage a dust-collecting travel bag.
We’re here to help you pick your next bag. The gamer. The one you’re going to show off. Let’s dive in.
