Choosing a Golf Bag:
- Cart Bag: Heavy-duty, perfect for cart use
- Stand/Carry Bag: Lightweight, versatile for walking
- Sunday Bag: Ultra-light, ideal for minimal club sets
Organization Tips:
- Place longest clubs at the top
- Store irons in middle dividers
- Keep wedges and putter at bottom
- Use separate pockets for balls, tees, and accessories
- Store weather gear in longer pockets
Training aids like swing trainers and putting aids can be valuable additions but aren't necessary for course play.
Remember: Starting with fewer clubs (7-10) is often better for beginners, as you'll likely hit several clubs similar distances while developing your swing.
