In the past few decades, golf has evolved from being a rich mans game to becoming a mainstream sport for the masses. The increase in its popularity has spawned thousands of golf equipment companies that manufacture and create tones of new golf products every year. Golfers who often travel long distances to resorts and foreign golf courses know all too well that you cannot travel around with your golf clubs in a regular golf bag.

Fortunately, there are no shortages of golf travel cases in the market as there are hundreds and thousands of models to choose from. Whatever your needs are as a golfer, there is a perfect golf travel case to suit your personality, preference and budget.

Golf travel bags today come in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes. There are generally three types of golf travel bags. There are soft sided cases, hard sided cases and ultra-portable light cases, all which are suited for traveling depending on the distance of travel and the mode of transportation.

Soft sides golf travel bags resemble large duffle bags. They are usually made from waterproof materials and have straps to secure the golf clubs in place. This type of golf bags is well suited for short distance road travels.

If you are traveling long distance (especially by air where you would need to check in your golf set) it is best to get yourself a hard cover golf travel bag. These hard sided bags are usually heavily padded on the inside to secure the clubs and are designed to absorb strong impacts. If you have an expensive set of golf clubs, it will be well worth it to invest in a good set of golf travel cases. Hard sided cases usually cost much more than soft-sided travel cases, but it is possible to get your hands on a good bargain online.

The Nike Golf range has a series of great soft-sided golf travel cases. Nikes golf bags are very well designed and in my opinion have the extra cool factor that are not found in many other brands. OGIO is another company that produces soft-sided golf cases.

Golf was meant to be enjoyable and more relaxing with the invention of golf bags. If you are playing solo and want to fully immerse yourself in the game, you should always have your golf accessories at your fingertips at a moment's notice.

A good golf bag not only carries your golf clubs, balls and stuff, it also protects them from the harsh weathers. But do not be fooled. Golf bags come in different kinds of quality and designs. So take your time to pick the right one for yourself.

If you pick travel golf bags they give you more space to move around with it. This golf bag can be used for security and ease of use due to the flexibility of it's materials. This is best for those super long holidays where you take car rides and throw your golf bag into the car boot or back of a plane.

The materials they use to make this kind of golf bag is resistant to rough handling, so it shields your golf clubs nicely. Of course it's lock pad feature is a welcomed addition. Next let's look at cart bags. For those golfers who are more experienced, this bag might be suitable for them. This is due to the larger space that gives the old-time golfer room to store their large variety of golf clubs.

However, these golf bags are pretty huge, so they will take up lots of room when you try to put it in the car boot or plane. For most players, they would often choose the stand golf bags due to it's added feature of a stand.

This allows the golfer to pull it along like a trolley and reduces strain on the golfer when they are up and about playing on the course. Plenty of room for the golfer to put their clubs as well. A sturdy strap helps to reduce shoulder or back strain.

Do you know that the golf professionals often use staff bags? These bags are not huge but yet just large enough for the golfer to put their stuff in. This makes them popular. The design has a four-pocket feature which lets the golfer divide their golf accessories neatly.

If you wish to strike a balance between size and space, you might want to look at carry bags. These golf bags are made of lighter materials so they can be lugged around easily. But at the same time, there is just enough space to store the essentials.

Or you might want to look at pencil bags for your golf carrying needs. What are these? They are very sturdy bags which can protect your golf stuff. While at the same time they weight pretty light on the scale.

What does a game of golf involve? Lots of walking, chasing after a small ball the whole afternoon. Getting the ball into sand traps, water harzards and bunkers,etc. Of course thats what non-golfers would usually say. Us golfers know better.

But dont forget that besides improving your handicap score, your next most important area to take care of are your golf accessories. They are just as important. Without them, you cant really hit anything can you?

So to make sure those golf accessories like golf clubs, golf balls and misc items are kept in great condition, youll need some protection for it. Thats where golf bags come in. While there are just as many brands of golf bags just as there are many grains of sand on the beach (ok maybe Im exaggerating), there are really only a few types of golf bags. Lets take a look at these bags.

Alright first we have the golf staff bag. This is the big and mean bags for the serious golfers. This is the type of golf bag that professionals use and they really, and I mean really do pack a large space for you to squeeze in every imaginable golf club heads. That being said, the price tag on it is not cheap.

Ok, so maybe youll not the big wig professionals and dont need such a huge and expensive bag. Well for the weekend golfers, may I suggest the golf stand bag. It is small and light and definitely easy to carry around. Plus it usually comes with a stand that allows you to prop up the bag easily. Just dont expect to fit your entire collection of golf clubs into it though. Minimalist is the feature of this bag.

Lastly, we have the golf cart bag. Ok this is like the hybrid between the golf staff bag and golf stand bag. It strikes a balance between space and size. It may be less comfortable to carry around than the stand bag, but if you are more than the average weekend golfer, this bag provides the optimal mix. You can stuff in more golf clubs and still be able to put it in that car boot or plane cargo.

Well I hope the above tips were helpful in your search for golf bags. Till next time!
