Golf Stand Bags

Golf stand bags, or golf carry bags, are the most common bag used by a regular golfer. Designed to be carried around the course with two shoulder straps, these bags need to be lightweight and practical. The last thing you want is to carry a heavy bag around 18 holes!It is worth noting that the carry bags will fit nicely on our Inesis trolleys thanks to a design feature making room for the stand legs. So, if you have an Inesis trolley and carry bag then this could be the most versatile combination!


Golf Trolley Bags

Golf trolley bags are, as the name implies, designed to be placed on a trolley. Our American friends refer to them as golf cart bags. Trolley bags can afford to be much bigger than a carry bag, allowing you to benefit from more pockets and space. However, just remember that you will have to transport a golf trolley and large golf bag with you whenever you want to play golf.

Waterproof Golf Bags

Waterproof golf bags are a relatively new development and a very welcome one for the UK. These bags are designed to keep all your golf gear dry in the elements through the use of waterproof materials and sealed zips and seams.

So, if you’re a hardy golfer who plays in wind, rain, snow or shine the waterproof golf bag could be perfect for you.

Golf Tour Bags

As seen in use by most tour golfers, tour bags are in essence huge trolley bags. I would suggest steering clear of these, mainly due their sheer size making them impractical for us mere mortals.


Space / Practicality

You want to consider the number of pockets and the size of these pockets when buying a golf bag. Some bags will also come with a special drinks pocket and a waterproof pockets to protect your valuables, which are nice features.Most modern stand bags are lightweight, spacious and practical. This is extremely beneficial in the UK where we often have to fill our bags with sweaters, waterproofs and an umbrella! However if you like to carry a wide range of clothes, accessories, drinks and snacks then you might want a trolley bag to make sure there’s enough space for you.

It’s also worth considering the number of club compartments in your bag. The more compartments there are, the easier it will be to take out and replace your golf clubs.

Durability

Simply put, due to the types of material used,some golf bags are more durable than others . If you’re buying a stand bag then first test the stand / legs. Make sure they are sturdy enough to withstand repeated use.It is worth noting that most Inesis golf bags come with a 10 year guarantee, so you know you are going to get a durable golf bag that will last!


Weight

We’ve touched upon this throughout, but if you’re in the market for a stand bag then weight is a very important consideration. There used to be a big trade off between weight and space, but now the Inesis Light Stand Bag only weighs a very manageable 2.2kg and has plenty of space for your clubs and accessories.
