Types of golf bags you can carry;

Before explaining how you can use or carry a golf bag with your gold gear, you need to understand the different types of golf bags and what each one is meant for.

There are carry bags, stand bags, cart bags, and staff bags.

• Carry bags are the lightest and most compact type of golf bag. They are designed for players who only carry a few clubs and don’t need a lot of extra storage.
• Stand bags are heavier than carry bags and they have a stand that can be deployed to keep the bag upright when it’s placed on the ground.
• Cart bags are heavier than stand bags and are designed to be attached to a golf cart. They usually have more storage space than other types of golf bags. Staff bags are the heaviest type of golf bag and they are designed to be carried by a caddy or golf staff.

Now that you understand the different types of golf bags, let’s move on to how you can carry them.

Carrying a golf bag: 4 Ways to carry, Tips and tricks

There are a few ways that you can carry a golf bag. You can use a shoulder strap, carry it in your hands, or use a cart.

Carrying using shoulder straps

Shoulder strap: If you are carrying a stand or carry bag, the best way to transport it is with a shoulder strap. Make sure the strap is adjustable and fits comfortably over your shoulder. When using the shoulder strap, make sure the bag is in front of you and not behind you. This will help to evenly distribute the weight of the bag.

Some bags have double straps, which can be helpful in distributing the weight of the bag.

Carrying using your hands

If you are carrying a stand or carry bag and don’t have a shoulder strap, you can carry it in your hands. Make sure the bag is in front of you and not behind you. Again, this will help to evenly distribute the weight of the bag. Carry the bag with your dominant hand and use your other hand to stabilize the bag.

Carrying using a cart

If you are carrying a cart bag, you can place the bag on the cart and secure it in place with the built-in strap. If you are carrying a stand or carry bag, you can place the bag on the cart and secure it in place with the bungee cords.

Carrying using wheels/legs:

Some golf bags come with wheels and legs, which can make carrying the bag a lot easier. When using the wheels/legs, make sure to tilt the bag so that the wheels are facing in the direction you are walking. This will help to prevent the bag from tipping over.
