How to Arrange a Golf Bag

Video Transcript

"Hi! This is Kevin Battersby at the Toski-Battersby Golf Learning Center in Coconut Creek, Florida, PGA Class A professional. Let's talk about how to arrange your golf bag. In your bag, you essentially have three sets of clubs, you have your Woods or your longer clubs, driver, three wood, five wood, seven wood, you have your middle club which would comprise your hybrid clubs, your six iron, seven iron, four, five iron and then you have your short iron which would be your higher number, higher lofted clubs, your sand wedge, lab wedge, nine iron, eight iron. When you're arranging your bag for the cart, generally speaking you put the clubs in a descending order from the front to the back. You have your short irons in the front in the first slide pocket and then you have your middle clubs in the center and your long clubs would be toward the back of the bag. This is allows for an expedient retrieval of your club when you had a shot so it's not to go under your bag and have a mix of clubs. There's some type of bags that is not, my bag here is a staff bag, a tour bag actually and it comes with a cover that's used for travel. If you're going to travel that would be the best bag to get because it has a substantial cover that goes over the bag and in addition to a cover you may buy for the bag. There are also stand bags and then carry bags. A stand bag, that's a cart related bag would be probably the best one to purchase if you're going to put, if you just ride a cart. The other feature would be to buy bag that is for just strictly carrying which is not a substantial but is actually lighter and easier to carry for you if you're a golf round. Those types of bags actually do not come with this travel bag and I wouldn't recommend even traveling with them but my brand is Mizuno. All major brand manufacturers have stand bags, cart bags and staff bags and again the staff bag being the bag that's going to give you the most durability, probably the easiest to take on your trips and travel with you because of the substantial cover that comes out of the bag for travel for the airlines."
