How Many Golf Bags Are Sold Each Year?

golf bags

Everyone knows that golf bags are essential tools for organizing all your golf clubs & accessories optimally. However, the price tag of golf bags can prove prohibitive to some.

That being said, the following question may pop up in your head: How many golf bags are sold each year?

In this article, we will provide you with some insight on how many golf bags are sold each year.

How Many Golf Bags Are Sold Each Year?

It is estimated that over 1.3 million golf bags are sold globally every year. The size of the global golf bag market is estimated to be valued at over 260M$.

Global golf bag sales can vary greatly from year to year because consumers buy a bag one year and will not buy one again for a few years. Golf bags last a lot longer than one year.

Golf bag sales naturally increase over time as more people pick up golfing.

Projections estimate that the golf bag market will grow by an additional 122.44M$ from 2021 to 2025, growing at about 3% per year.

Older projections predicted the golf bag market would grow by an additional 75.15% from 2019 to 2024, with a yearly growth between 2% and 5%.

In 2020, during the pandemic, golf bag manufacturers saw a surge in orders as people had extra time to try out golf once some restrictions were lifted. Golf bag sales were up 55% in August 2020 relative to August 2019. 2020 golf bag sales were up 5% relative to 2019 golf bag sales.

The total global golf equipment market size in 2021 was 7041.3M$.

Golf bags represent around 3.7% of the golfing equipment market sales. An average golf bag costs around 200$.

Therefore, globally, the total golf bag sales amounted to around:

Global Golf Bag Market Size = Global Golf Equipment Market Size * 3.7%

Global Golf Bag Market Size = 7041.3M$ * 0.037 = 260.53M$

We can now divide the global golf bag market size by the average golf bag price of 200$ to get an estimation of the number of golf bags sold yearly in the world:

Yearly # of golf bags sold globally = Global Golf Bag Market Size/Average price of one golf bag

Yearly # of golf bags sold globally = 260.53M$/200$ = 1,302,640.5 = over 1.3M golf bags

Therefore, we can estimate that, globally, over 1.3 million golf bags are sold every year.

How Many Golf Bags Are Sold Each Year In The US?

It is estimated that over 660,000 golf bags are sold in the United States of America every year. The size of the global golf bag market is estimated to be valued at over 132M$.

United States golf bag sales can vary greatly from year to year because consumers buy a bag one year and will not buy one again for a few years. Golf bags last a lot longer than one year.

From 2000 to 2005, United Sates golf bag sales decreased by 0.8% every year.

However, in 2005, United States golf bag sales increased by 5.1% to 113.5M$, which equates to 3.8% of total United States golf equipment sales.

From 2005 to 2010, golf bag sales were projected to increase by 0.4% per year. The 2010 projection for US golf bag sales was 115.9M$.

Golf bag sales naturally increase over time as more people pick up golfing.

A very interesting fact to know is that 49% of the golf bag market growth comes from North America. This makes sense as North America is home to over half the golf courses in the world.

The United States of America total golf equipment market size in 2021 was 3600M$.

Golf bags represent around 3.7% of the golfing equipment market sales. An average golf bag costs around 200$.

Therefore, in the United States, the total golf bag sales amounted to around:

US Golf Bag Market Size = US Golf Equipment Market Size * 3.7%

US Golf Bag Market Size = 3600M$ * 0.037 = 133.2M$

We can now divide the US golf bag market size by the average golf bag price of 200$ to get an estimation of the number of golf bags sold yearly in the US:

Yearly # of golf bags sold in the US = US Golf Bag Market Size/Average price of one golf bag

Yearly # of golf bags sold in the US = 133.2M$/200$ = 666,000 golf bags

Therefore, we can estimate that, in the United States of America, around 660,000 golf bags are sold every year.

Conclusion

There you go! After reading this article, you have learned more about how many golf bags are sold each year.

As you can see, a lot of golf bags are sold throughout the world during the 12 months of one year.

How Many Golf Clubs Can You Carry In A Set?

man carrying golf bag
man carrying golf bag

In the amazing game of golf, you are allowed to carry a lot of pieces of equipment. A lot. But how much equipment can you carry?

There are so many clubs in a golfer’s back, and if you are a beginner, you may wonder: how many golf clubs can you carry in a set?

In this article, we will tell you exactly how golf clubs you can carry in a set or golf bag, as well as other unusual rules concerning what you can carry.

How Many Golf Clubs Can You Carry In A Set?

You can carry up to 14 golf clubs in your set or golf bag. You can carry as few as 1 golf club in your golf bag. Any combination of legal golf clubs in your bag is permitted. Carrying more than 14 golf clubs in your set or bag results in penalties against your score.

In the game of golf, you can only carry up to a maximum of 14 golf clubs in your golf set or bag. However, you can carry fewer than 14 golf clubs in your bag if you wish.

The minimum of golf clubs you can carry in your golf bag is 1. Without a golf club, you could not hit the golf ball.

In your golf bag or set, you can use any combinations of clubs you want, whether that is a standard bag configuration, or something crazy like carrying 14 putters or drivers.

You should pick a combination of golf club types that allows you to get an edge in each situation on the course. Ideally, no two golf clubs you selected have exactly the same use cases because one of them would then be redundant. Instead, you should get varied golf club types in your golf bag.

For example, do not carry 2 putters because you only really ever need one of them. By having 2 putters, you are losing out on the opportunity of adding a different, uniquely useful golf club to your golf bag.

An important note to understand is that you can only carry legal golf clubs (obviously). Illegal golf clubs may have club heads that are too big or heavy (club heads cannot exceed 460 cubic centimeters in volume). Other clubs can become illegal due to dangerous modifications, and more.

In golf, if you are caught playing with too many clubs (more than 14), or you expose yourself for the mistake, you get a 2 stroke penalty on your score for each hole played while carrying too many clubs.

However, you cannot lose more than 4 strokes in total against your score through infraction of this rule. Therefore, you could technically carry over 100 golf clubs in your bag and only take a 4 stroke penalty (assuming you are strong enough to carry 100 clubs).

If you do realize you are carrying too many clubs during tournament play, you need to tell another player or a rules official that you committed a violation.

Next, clearly show which golf club(s) you are removing from play. You can put that club upside down in your golf bag to indicate it is removed from play.

Another important thing to note is that you can only use your own golf clubs. This means that you cannot swap golf clubs with other players, even if the trade keeps your total number of golf clubs carried under 14.

A very interesting part of the rules of golf is that you can add golf clubs to your bag during a round of golf, provided you have less than 14. This could be a strategy to account for unexpected conditions, or to give you inspiration in the middle of a bad round of golf.

Finally, you cannot replace a golf club in your golf bag with a new one unless the club in your set breaks through natural forces or exterior influence. For example, if a crazy spectator runs onto the course and snaps your golf club in half, you can replace that club.

Conclusion

There you go! After reading this article, you have discovered that you can only carry between 1 and 14 golf clubs in your golf bag.

Carrying more than the maximum amount of golf clubs will land you some serious stroke penalties against your score. You also learned a few others specificities about the rules of golf concerning club count.

How To Fix A Golf Bag Zipper? – Easy Guide

how to fix broken zipper on golf bag
how to fix broken zipper on golf bag

As we all know, zippers are great inventions, but sometimes…they just break. Despite them breaking, notably on golf bags, does that really mean we should just throw away our zippered items that do not close anymore?

As we will explain in this article, there are good, fairly easy ways to replace or fix a golf bag zipper that will not cost too much.

How To Fix A Golf Bag Zipper?

First of all, if you are lucky, your golf bag is still under warranty, and you can simply ask for a replacement bag under your golf bag manufacturer’s warranty policy. There is a good chance that the manufacturer will send you a new bag if you can prove yours is defective.

Even if your manufacturer does not end up wanting to send you a new golf bag, they might still send you a replacement zipper that you can install yourself, or with someone’s help.

In the case you get only a replacement zipper from your bag manufacturer, or no zipper at all, one easy way to fix your golf bag zipper is to bring it to a luggage repair shop or a shoemaker who repairs zippers.

These trained professionals have worked with countless zippers in the past, and the one on your golf bag should be no match for their skills. This method of getting a professional to fix your bag may lead to the best result, with the least time commitment from yourself.

However, if you do not like those methods, or you wish to save money and social energy by fixing your golf bag zipper yourself, we have two DIY (Do-It-Yourself) methods for you, detailed in the next two sections.

DIY Golf Bag Zipper Fix Method #1 (Easy fix, but not professional)

This method will be very easy for you to do if your zipper slider is detached one or both ends of the zipper teeth. However, it is a slightly destructive method. In this method, we will be modifying the broken zipper into a shorter, fully functional zipper. For this method, you will need:

Materials Needed
-Golf bag with broken zipper
-Zipper Slider
-Scissors
-Sewing kit

Step 1: Cut into the zipper

Your zipper slider is currently detached from the zipper teeth, so you need a way to slide the zipper slider back onto the teeth. Once the zipper slider comes out of the teeth, it is generally not possible to reattach it.

However, by taking your scissors, and cutting into one end of the zipper, at a 90-degree angle relative to the length of the zipper, you can slide the zipper slider back into the zipper teeth.

This method is illustrated in the image down below we created for you (pretend the zipper is broken).

how to fix a golf bag zipper

As shown up above, you want to cut the zipper teeth perpendicularly to create an opening on which to slide the slider back onto the zipper teeth, about where the blue line is. The yellow area demonstrates that you need to leave enough space for the zipper slider to be inserted back onto the zipper.

Step 2: Use the sewing kit to prevent your slider from coming out of your cut

Now that your zipper slider is back onto the zipper teeth, you need to make sure it does not come out of the incision you created in step 1.

To prevent the zipper slider from reaching the incision, we need to block the zipper slider from going too far up the zipper.

Take out your sewing kit, a needle and some string, and sew a bar of string across the zipper, right before the line you cut through in step 1.

Use enough string weight to permanently prevent the zipper slider from going back up the zipper end.

You can look at out figure down below to see where the string bar needs to be relative to the cutting line:

how to fix a golf bag zipper

As you can see above, when you are sewing the string bar, make sure the zipper slider is below it, in the green area. Sew the string bar right before the cutting line. The string bar will act as a bunker the zipper slider cannot pass through.

Your zipper should now be fully fixed and functional. It will not be the prettiest fix, but the zipper slider should never come out of the teeth ever again!

DIY Golf Bag Zipper Fix Method #2 (Professional result, but harder fix)

This method will be harder for you to do than the first method, but it should look very clean and professional if you can complete all the steps successfully. In this method, we will be completely replacing the broken zipper with a new one. For this method, you will need:

Materials Needed
-Golf bag with broken zipper
-New Intact Zipper with the same dimensions as your original golf bag zipper
-Seam Ripper
-Sewing kit
-Sewing pins

Step 1: Remove the current zipper from the golf bag

Take out your seam ripper. A seam ripper is a little tool you use to get underneath seams and sewing string to pull them and rip them out, as the name suggests.

A seam ripper allows you to remove something sewn to a bag, clothes or more, without cutting into the fabric of the bigger item.

On your golf bag, locate the seams that attach your currently-broken zipper to the bag. Use the seam ripper to dig into and rip out the seams.

Once all the seams have been ripped out, nothing will be attaching the broken zipper to the golf bag, and it will be safe to remove it. Set the broken zipper to the side.

Step 2: Pin the new zipper to the golf bag

Take out your brand new zipper that has the same dimensions as the broken zipper, and place it on your golf bag, where the old zipper was. The zipper comes with extra fabric on each side of the zipper teeth through which you will sew it into place.

In most cases, you will need to place the extra zipper fabric inside of the golf bag to get a clean, professional fix.

Make sure the golf bag is laid out as flat as possible so that you can line up the new zipper accurately with its intended position. Using sewing pins, pin the new zipper to the golf bag to pin it into place.

These sewing pins will prevent the zipper from moving around while you sew it into the golf bag.

Step 3: Sew the new zipper to the golf bag

With the new zipper now pinned into place onto the golf bag, take out your sewing kit, a needle & a very long piece of string, and sew the new zipper into place.

Follow the perimeter of the seams you ripped out earlier to know where to sew the new zipper in, as shown in the image below:

how to fix a golf bag zipper

Once you have finished sewing along the new zipper, make a big knot with your string, and cut the remaining string after the not, leaving a few inches of space after the knot.

Your golf bag will now be fully functional, fixed, and look brand new, professionally fixed.

Conclusion

There you go! After reading this article, you have learned of multiple ways and methods to repair your golf bag zipper, without breaking the bank. You will no longer need to buy a new golf bag if only the zipper is broken, thanks to these methods detailed here.

How to Travel with Golf Clubs? – 5 Options for Golf Travel

airplane
airplane

If you plan to go on a trip to play golf in exotic locations or with friends who live elsewhere, you might be wondering how to effectively transport your equipment. In this article, we will show you great ways to facilitate your travels with golf clubs.

How to Travel with Golf Clubs?

How to travel with golf clubs and how to travel with a full set of golf equipment? A full set of golf equipment, including golf clubs, balls, accessories, and more, feels quite encumbering. This is especially true when you add the word travelling to the mix.

However, there are solutions to travelling with golf clubs that make the process much more bearable.

5 Options for Travelling with Golf Equipment

Look down below for the 5 best solutions to travel with golf clubs in the most comfortable way possible.

1. Buying a Golf Travel Bag + Flying

The first solution you can try to travel with your golf clubs is to take them on your plane with you.

When you are choosing how many bags you will bring with you on your plane while purchasing your ticket, you should be able to, with most airlines, specify you have a golf bag with you, and fees will be calculated automatically.

This is not the most cost effective solution on this list, but it will be a fast solution that will allow you to bring your favorite golf clubs with you. If you decide to fly with your golf clubs, make sure you take a direct flight, or your golf bag may get lost between transits.

A lost golf bag can take days to return to your hands, and this might destroy your exotic golfing getaway away from home. You need clubs to play golf, so take a direct flight.

How are my golf clubs going to stay in one piece during a flight? It is no secret that the people loading luggage onto a plane are not gentle at all with suitcases and bags. You will often see them throwing bags onto the plane, and in most cases, this is totally fine.

However, with your expensive golf clubs on the line, you want to invest in a golf travel bag.

These travel bags, specifically made for golf, are typically designed exclusively for travelling with your equipment while protecting it; travel bags are generally not designed for playing with them.

Travel bags come in two forms: stand-alone hard case bags to hold your golf clubs, or hard covers that go over your usual golf bag. The harder the travel bag is to offer better protection, the heavier it generally is.

For most people who want to fly with their golf clubs, a travel bag is a great investment that will cost substantially less than replacing their damaged clubs.

Make sure the travel bag you choose will be accepted by your usual airline. If you want to be absolutely sure, try calling your airline, and sending them emails with links to the travel bag you want to purchase.

Finally, there are specific travel insurances you can pay for in case your golf equipment is lost, stolen, or damaged. These can definitely be worth it, as they generally cost way less than the total value of your golf gear.

2. Shipping your Golf Equipment in Advance

The second solution is to ship your golf equipment in advance. If you know in advance where you will be staying on your trip, and do not need your gear for a while, you can cheaply ship your gear.

By shipping your golf equipment in advance, you can pay lower fees, and you will not have to deal with carrying it around the airport.

The main drawback with this solution is how long it takes to ship equipment, especially if it is by sea.

You should also see if there are any insurances you can pay for to protect your golf clubs in case of loss or damage. There are companies that will specifically help you ship your golf bag.

If you use this shipping method for your golf equipment, investing in a golf travel bag can only improve the chances of your equipment arriving at your destination in perfect condition.

3. Driving with your Golf Equipment

If your destination is not separated from you by a body of water, then it is likely possible to travel by road. If the destination is not too far, or you are up for a road trip, you can definitely consider travelling by car!

For some people, travelling by car is the most comfortable and memorable way to travel long distances, and it definitely offers you a lot of flexibility in terms of your stops, and where you go.

By travelling in an automobile, you can even try out multiple golf courses, in different places along your journey!

If your vehicle is big enough to carry one or a few golf bags, as well as the passengers, traveling by car is a great option for golf travel. Technically, you are getting free golf bag shipping.

You will have to pay for gas, but the odds are that it will be less expensive than the plane ticket you otherwise would have bought.

4. Renting Golf Clubs

If you will not be staying long at your destination, or if you are not that good of a golfer yet, you may want to think about renting golf clubs at your destination.

By renting golf clubs, you completely avoid shipping fees, discomfort, and complications. In addition, you ensure that your expensive golf equipment will stay at home in security, away from hazards and careless handling.

Of course, renting golf equipment is not free, but it is safe. If you will only be playing one or a small amount of golf rounds, renting equipment may just be the best option on this list for you.

However, if you are an advanced golf player with specific equipment tastes, rented golf equipment can slightly annoy you. In that case, maybe you will prefer a different option on this list for golf travel.

5. Buying a 2nd Set of Golf Equipment

Finally, if you often travel to your destination, you should consider buying a 2nd set of golf equipment you would leave at your destination.

This way, you will avoid shipping fees, and risks of equipment damage forever. In addition, you will have custom golf equipment hand selected by yourself to be comfortable for you. For advanced golf players, this could be a solid option for golf travel.

Although this is the most expensive option on this list in the short term, if you are often travelling to your destination in question, this cost of this option will eventually become less than the cost of travelling with your golf bag every time. In the long term, this is one of the best options.

Video Summary

If you would like to find out how to travel with golf equipment through video format rather than text, watch our video down below:

Conclusion

There you go! You now have 5 great options that will help you figure out how you want to travel with golf clubs. Travelling with golf clubs does not have to be too uncomfortable if you think it through, and take the necessary precautions.

Think deeply about which golf travel option would be the best for you, in both the short term and the long term. Weight the pros and cons of each option, and you will find your best solution.

How to Carry a Golf Bag? – Best Carrying Technique

Correct Golf Carrying Technique for 2-Strap Golf Bags
Correct Golf Carrying Technique for 2-Strap Golf Bags
Correct Golf Carrying Technique for 2-Strap Golf Bags

With the large amount of golf clubs, balls, accessories, hydration, and more in your golf bag, you can start to be quite burdened. With how heavy golf bags can get, it is important to learn how to carry a golf bag. With incorrect technique, you can injure yourself, or tire yourself over the day.

Without the correct golf bag carrying technique, you will fatigue yourself, injure yourself, and destroy your long-term health and posture. Read the tips below carefully to be able to play golf pain-free as long as possible.

How to Carry a Golf Bag?

Read the steps down below in order to understand the optimal golf bag carrying technique.

When you are finished reading the tips, you should feel like the weight of your golf bag is as evenly distributed across your body as possible. Furthermore, you should not experience back or shoulder pain when using your golf bag.

If you experience pain, stop using the golf bag, or reduce its weight. In addition, you can see a doctor, or read our golf bag carrying hack near the end of the article.

Step 1: Adjust your golf bag straps to the right length

This step will take a lot of trial and error. Before trying different golf bag strap lengths, make sure both straps are the same length. If your golf bag only has one strap, you should switch to a 2-strap golf bag to alleviate unilateral pressure and strain on your body.

A 2-strap golf bag is much healthier to carry, and should not cause you physical pain, unlike a single strap golf bag.

If you are using a single strap golf bag despite our advice, simply put your arm under the strap and let the strap rest on your dominant shoulder, or whichever shoulder feels more comfortable.

If you are using a 2-strap golf bag, start with one strap and put it on the shoulder designed for that strap. Next, while the weight of the golf bag is resting on the first shoulder, pull the second strap of the bag with your unloaded arm.

Let the second strap rest on your second shoulder so that the weight of the bag is evenly distributed across both shoulders.

While you adjust the golf bag straps, you should have your bag empty to make it an easier process that requires less physical effort.

Step 2: Put your golf bag on like a backpack (2 straps)

Now that your golf bag straps are of the right length, you can reload your golf bag with your equipment, including clubs, balls, hydration, and more.

To put on your adjusted 2-strap golf bag, take the first strap, and put one arm into the loop, then let the weight of the bag rest on the shoulder of that arm.

Now that the weight of your back is resting on one shoulder, pull the second golf strap towards your next shoulder. Let the second strap rest on your second shoulder.

The weight of your golf bag should now be distributed over both of your shoulders. This is the best way to carry your golf bag off the ground. This will limit your risk of injury, and maximize your comfort.

Step 3: Verify your posture

With bad posture, for example, if you are hunched over, you will definitely increase your chances of pain and injury. Instead of a terrible hunched over posture, you should keep your back straight vertically, and pull your shoulder blades back.

With this tall posture, you will put more effort on your muscles instead of your joints and spine. This will contribute to save your long term health. Furthermore, carrying your golf bag will second as a workout, instead of serving as a spine-wrecking session.

GOLF BAG CARRYING HACK: Buy a golf bag with wheels

How easy would life be on your back if you had a golf bag with wheels? You would virtually never need to carry your golf bag ever again! With the right wheels, a wheeled golf bag can become a major comfort upgrade in your golf playing.

Look for a golf bag with big enough wheels that look sturdy and durable. The last thing you want after buying a wheeled golf bag is for it to break. In addition, you do not want the wheels to be so small that they cannot clear obstacles on a golf course.

Jaffick Wheeled Golf Bag

A great wheeled golf bag we recommend is the Jaffick Wheeled Golf Bag. It is a 5-way golf bag that features wheels, a push-button handle, loads of storage, and even closes around the top of your club heads when you need to travel. The Jaffick Wheeled Golf Bag currently has a 4.1 rating out of 5 stars on Amazon.

Conclusion

There you go! You now know the best, most optimal way to carry a golf bag, and in the process, save your back! Make sure you use a golf bag with 2 straps, and to distribute the weight of your golf bag across your entire body. You do not want to get lingering pain from something as mundane as carrying a golf bag!

In addition, to completely eliminate the risks of pain or injury, as well as physical effort related to bag carrying, you can purchase a wheeled golf bag like the Jaffick Wheeled Golf Bag!

Take these tips to heart and you will be able to play golf for longer hours, and maybe even try a 36-hole, 54-hole, or 72-hole golf course!

How to Organize a 7-Way Golf Bag? – Optimal Setup

Optimal 7-Way Golf Bag Organization

How do you organize a 7-way golf bag? Organizing your golf bag is not always an obvious task to complete correctly for beginners. Organizing your 7-slot golf bag will be different from organizing 4, 6, 8 or 14 slot bags.

Callaway Golf 2021 ORG 7 Cart Bag

Organizing your golf bag correctly can save you lots of time when wanting to retrieve a specific golf club while on the course. In fact, organizing your golf bag will also save you potential frustration from not being able to find that one club you need in the moment. Finally, organizing your bag correctly will help you protect your golf clubs from damage caused by metal clunking.

How to Organize a 7-Way Golf Bag?

A 7-way golf bag holds its name from the fact it is divided in 7 slots. These 7 slots are for holding the 14 golf clubs you are allowed to carry. A 7-way golf bag’s relatively fewer amount of dividers is useful for quickly separating your short game clubs from your long game clubs.

A golf bag with less dividers is less of a hassle to organize than one with more dividers. Furthermore, clubs slide into the compartments more easily in bags with less dividers. As a general rule of thumb, keep your longer clubs towards the top of your golf bag, and the shorter ones at the bottom.

Steps to Organize a 7-Way Golf Bag

Since you carry 14 golf clubs, placing 2 clubs in each compartment is logical for a 7-way golf bag. However, part of golf bag organization is personal preference, so organize your bag at your discretion. If you wish to follow the most logical 7-way golf bag organization, follow the steps down below:

Optimal 7-Way Golf Bag Organization
Optimal 7-Way Golf Bag Organization

Step 1: Place your driver and 3 wood in the top of the bag

Step 2: Place your 3 Iron and 4 Iron in the left compartment of the row below

Step 3: Place your 5 Iron and 6 Iron to the right of the 3 Iron and 4 Iron

Step 4: Place your 7 Iron and 8 Iron in the left compartment of the row below the other irons

Step 5: Place your 9 Iron and one of your hybrids in the compartment to the right of the 7 Iron and 8 Iron

Step 6: Place your other hybrids in the bottom-most left compartment of the golf bag

Step 7: Place your pitching wedge and your putter in the final compartment of your golf bag, in the bottom-most right compartment

Step 8: Stow your exercise clothes in the full length-pocket of the bag

Step 9: Stow all your golf balls, tees, refreshments and other accessories in the remaining pockets of the bag. If you use items like a portable golf cleaner, attach them to the clips on your golf bag, provided it features clips.

P.S.: If you carry a slightly different set of 14 golf clubs, do not worry. Simply, organize your clubs from top to bottom, putting the longer clubs in the top and the shorter ones in the bottom of the bag.

Important Notes

When you place a golf club in your bag, or remove it, do not clunk it against your other golf clubs. This physical contact leads to wear and potential damage to your expensive golf clubs.

A 7-way golf bag will not separate each one of your golf clubs with dividers. Therefore, you must still exercise some caution when moving them. On the other hand, with less dividers, the 7-way golf bag is lighter than most of the other options on the market. Purchase a 7-way, 6-way or a 4-way golf bag if you intend on carrying it while you walk.

If you are not keen on carrying your golf bag, you can also opt to purchase a stand bag; this type of bag comes with rods attached to the bag that allow the bag to sit upright with stability. Another useful type of golf bag is a wheeled golf bag, allowing you to never carry it.

You can vacuum the ground if you see anything non-organic, but you should be good to move to the next step.

Step 2: Vacuum your Golf Bag

Take out your vacuum and put its hose into the different pockets of the golf bag. Go all the way into the pockets and look inside them if possible to make sure you vacuum every little particle.

Step 3: Apply Water to your Golf Bag

Depending on the material your golf bag is made of, you should consider different ways to apply water to your bag.

For nylon golf bags, some of the heaviest duty bags, you can easily pour water onto them, using the faucet, a hose, or a spray bottle.

For leather golf bags, you need to be a little more careful. You probably should not drench your leather bag in water, but instead apply very small amounts of water with a spray bottle.

Finally, you should never soak or drench golfs bags made of suede. Soaking suede causes it to harden and shrivel. Suede bags are rare because they require extra tools to clean. For suede bags, you should avoid any water contact and instead brush them with a suede brush once a week. Brush the debris and dirt away from you when using the suede brush. For suede bags, ignore all of the remaining steps in this article.

Step 4: Scrub your Golf Bag with a Towel & Soap

Put two marble-sized amounts of soap onto your towel or cloth, and scrub the golf bag lightly on the dirty areas.

For lighter colored golf bags, only rub with a similarly colored towel. You do not want the towel color to rub off onto the golf bag (e.g. a red towel on a white bag).

Step 5: Pour Water on to the Golf Bag

Use water to remove the soap from the golf bag. As in step 3, be mindful of the material your golf bag is made of. Avoid using too much water on bags with more delicate materials.

Step 6: Apply Stain Remover, if needed

Examine your golf bag closely to see if there are any stains left. Put on some gloves, then apply the stain remover to the final stains. Rub with a cloth or towel, and wash your hands afterwards.

Before you use any chemicals containing bleaching agents, make sure the material of your golf bag can handle it.

For leather bags, never use any bleach or stain removers (stain removers contain bleaching agents). They will have the opposite effects and stain the leather. Use rubbing alcohol instead of bleach or a stain remover to remove stains from a leather bag.

If you do use a stain remover, repeat step 5.

Step 7: Dry your Golf Bag

Once you are sure all the soap and all the stain remover is cleaned off the golf bag, let the bag dry. When drying the bag, leave all of its pockets open. Furthermore, do not leave your bag in direct sunlight because that will cause discoloration.

Step 8: Store your Golf Bag in a temperature-controlled environment

Once your golf bag is fully dry, store it in a temperature-controlled environment. Do not leave your golf bag in your car trunk or your garage. You do not want moisture and humidity to get into the bag, especially if it is made from one of the more delicate materials. The moisture and humidity can cause issues such as material hardening and cracking.

Step 9: Freshen up your Golf Bag

After this thorough cleaning process, your golf bag should not smell too bad. However, if a bad odor still lingers, you can use an air freshener or a disinfectant in your golf bag. A good sports air freshener example is FunkAway Spray and a great sports bag disinfectant is Clear Gear Disinfectant.

How to Organize an 8-Way Golf Bag? – Optimal Setup

Optimal Golf Club Organization for an 8-Way Golf Bag

How do you organize an 8-way golf bag? Organizing your golf bag is not always an obvious task to complete correctly for beginners. Organizing your 8-slot golf bag will be different from organizing 4, 6 or 14 slot bags.

Organizing your golf bag correctly can save you lots of time when wanting to retrieve a specific golf club while on the course. In fact, organizing your golf bag will also save you potential frustration from not being able to find that one club you need in the moment. Finally, organizing your bag correctly will help you protect your golf clubs from damage caused by metal clunking.

How to Organize an 8-Way Golf Bag?

An 8-way golf bag holds its name from the fact it is divided in 8 slots in which to place the 14 golf clubs you are allowed to carry. In addition, an 8-way golf bag’s medium amount of dividers strikes a good balance between organization of golf clubs and ease of pulling them in and out. In reality, an 8-way golf bag will allow you to separate your short game clubs from your long game clubs.

A golf bag with less dividers is less of a hassle to organize than one with more dividers, and clubs slide into the compartments more easily. Therefore, an 8-way golf bag will allow for easier stowing of golf clubs than a 14-way golf bag. As a general rule of thumb, keep your longer clubs towards the top of your golf bag, and the shorter ones at the bottom.

Important Notes

When you place a golf club in your bag, or remove it, do not clunk it against your other golf clubs. In fact, this physical contact leads to wear and potential damage to your expensive golf clubs.

An 8-way golf bag will not separate each one of your golf clubs with dividers. Therefore, you must still exercise some caution when moving them. On the other hand, with an average amount of dividers, the 8-way bag has an average weight. This means an 8-way golf bag will not be the easiest bag to carry, but not the hardest either.

If you intend on carrying your bag for long distances, you might want to invest in a 4-way or a 6-way golf bag. If you are not keen on carrying your golf bag, you can also opt for purchasing a stand bag; this type of bag comes with rods attached to the bag that allow the bag to sit upright with stability.
