Golf Bags
There are two main types of golf bags. Stand bags and cart bags.
Stand bags are the most popular among young golfers because they can stand on their own and be carried reasonably easy. Cart bags do not come with legs but have a flat bottom so they sit vertically on the ground.
When shopping for a golf bag, choose one that has a good shoulder strap and a good club organization system such as the Woode dividers. Oval vs round? If you're going to put the golf bag on a cart, it is best if you have a round bag instead of an oval shaped.

To a golfer, his or her golf bag is their lifeline. What their golf bag contains is everything they need to play a 4-5 hour round of golf. Lets review what is in a golf bag:
1. Clubs
The most important thing in a golf bag is the clubs. Make sure there is adequate room for 14 clubs. Some golf bags have dividers to help you separate your irons from your fairway woods. There are even slots for your driver, hybrids and putter. These bags help you organize your clubs and promote fast play because you learn exactly where to find a particular club in your bag instead of searching for it. I think it is a good idea to have your clubs organized in your bag. If you took out a club and forgot to replace it, you would instantly know that you are missing a club.
2. Balls
The second most important thing in a golf bag is the golf balls. Make sure you have a good supply of golf balls in your bag, especially if you are playing by yourself. Golf bags usually have a compartment specifically for golf balls but if your golf bag lacks one, you can keep balls in the sleeve and store them in another compartment.
3. Golf Tees
The third most important thing in a golf bag are golf tees. Unless you are John Daly or Laura Davies (who uses natural tees), the rest of us have to carry a supply of golf tees. Make sure you have an adequate supply of golf tees, either the plain variety types or the special tees that give you extra distance. Some golf bags have a special compartment for golf tees or a cloth band that holds a few tees outside of the bag for easy access.
