Thanks for all the great info, gives me something to think about. Living in central Florida I doubt I will be walking all the time, except for this time of year and I was actually told most places require you get the cart but I think I will go with the stand/carry bag and maybe get a bigger cart bag down the road. Thanks again! -Danny

Danny, I agree. That is definitely the best way to go. — JVDP

Avoid ’staff bags’. I got comped a high end set and opted for the top-of-the-line bag. The bag, empty, weighs 15 lbs. Caddy’s get paid to carry these things around, you DON’T want to do that. It doesn’t ride well on a cart, it falls off a hand cart, and it attracts people who would be inclined to walk off with it. I ended up going to Target and getting a $60 bag to replace my $350 high-end bag. I’m a LOT happier with the cheaper bag. All my friends have stand bags and those seem to work equally well if they are walking or riding. In bags, cheaper is better, as long as it holds everything you want to carry. All the clubs, balls, sweater, umbrella? Can you imagine actually wearing out a golf bag? Get the smallest and cheapest bag that meets your needs. /)_
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I recently bought a used set of clubs to practice with as this is my first attempt at the sport. They aren’t anything special but it will do for now. I do need a bag, however and see that their are different types of bags to choose from. If most of my games will be aided with a golf cart, which bag should I choose (cart, stand, travel, etc). I would think cart but seems like they are referring to those small hand carts, not golf carts. Please advise, thanks! -Danny if u like to walk and dont mind carrying a bag, get a stand bag. otherwise just get a cart bag. about 9" size would be ideal.

The word "cart" is ambiguous in a world wide forum. To me I think of my SpeedCart that I use to push my bag around the course. I really, really prefer walking to riding. I carry more often than I push, and hardly ever ride. Things would be different if I lived in a hot and humid location. What I recommend is that you consider getting a couple of bags. One bag is real light that you can take down to the par-3 course for a couple of hours after work. Make sure it has two straps, one for each shoulder. If it has removable bags, remove them. This is a minimalist approach and you want to make it as easy as possible to carry. The big cart bag can be as big as you want. It carries everything you could possibly want, and keeps clubs separate. I saw one model that actually split into two – you could carry a couple of clubs away from your cart, in this while leaving the big heavy part strapped in behind the seat. Remember that you WILL have situations where you need to walk a while without knowing for sure what club you will need. You don’t want to carry a big bag when you are on cart-path only, and carrying 3 clubs, a towel, and some extra balls around can be a pain. It is easy to forget clubs that way as well.

Buying a golf bag is no different – anything you buy , you make a choice, you usually get what you pay for. When riding you should have a cart bag, roomy, efficient, handy. Here is one to choose, or build around. http://www.intheholegolf.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Produ… If most of my games will be aided with a golf cart, which bag should I choose cart, stand, travel, etc.
