When choosing a golf bag you should consider wether you will be walking the course or riding in a cart, or both. You also need to consider how you would like your clubs organized. There are many golf bags on the market with unique organizers specific to individual needs. There are also different sizes and categories of bags. There are staff or tour bags these bags are big and heavy to carry usually used by the pro player, cart bags these bags are used when riding on a golf cart and have a lot of compartments for your golf accessories, stand bags these are used for walking the course but can also be used on the golf cart they are light and easy to carry, and day bags these bags are limited in clubs that can be carried, they are used to carry just a few select clubs. Some bags have full length individual dividers for clubs so that the graphite shafts will not scratch.  So it is important to decide which bag will fit your needs on the course so that your game can be played with ease.
