Solution #1: Home/DYI Solutions to Stop a Golf Bag from Twisting

There are two main DYI ways to solve the issue of golf bags twisting.

Tightening the side straps:

The first way to stop golf bag twisting is by tightening the side straps. This can be easily done and does not take time.

You will need a crescent wrench for this task. Trace the golf bag’s centerline from top to bottom then mark it with a felt-tipped pen. Center the wrench over the line, open the jaws fully, and squeeze. Check the golf bag for any movement, if it is still moving retighten the straps until it is secure.

Tightening the top:

The second way to stop golf bag twisting is by tightening the top. This will take some time depending on how you do it but is an effective way of securing the golf bag. You will need a drill and 3/8-inch drill bit for this task.

Make sure the golf bag is empty before beginning. Center the drill bit over the golf bag’s top handle, then slowly drilling through the handle. Do not push too hard on the drill as you might break through the other side.

After the hole has been drilled, screw in a 3/8-inch bolt using a washer and locknut. The golf bag should now be secure and not twist when in use.

Using Zip Ties:

If you do not have a drill or crescent wrench, you can use zip ties to secure the golf bag. This is a quick and easy way to do it but is not as secure as the other two methods. You will need 4-6 zip ties for this task.

Place the golf bag on a flat surface and make sure it is empty. Take the zip ties and thread them through the golf bag’s side handles.

Make sure the zip ties are tight but not too tight as you might damage the handle. Cut off any excess zip tie and your golf bag should now be secure.
