Golf bags are designed to help players carry accessories aside from clubs, balls and tees around the golf course with ease. So, what should you have in your golf bag? And how many golf clubs are you actually allowed?
When playing a round of golf, you’re allowed a maximum of 14 clubs in your bag. This usually includes three woods (driver, 3-wood and 5-wood), eight irons, (3-9 iron and pitching wedge), and putter. You can have less than 14 clubs if you wish, and there is no limit on the number of a particular type of club you can have, for example if you wanted to carry around 3 putters in your bag that’s absolutely fine, a bit strange, but fine, as long as you have less than 14 clubs in total.
Golf bags will also need to carry all your accessories, things like spare balls, green markers, a selection of tees, the odd golf glove, maybe even some snacks and a drink. Whatever you carry around in your golf bag it’s important to find a bag that suits your requirements, depending on how you transport your bag around the course (trolley or carry) there are a huge selection of golf bags to choose from.
We’ve chosen some of our favourites, from Tour bags to carry bags, to help you decide on your new golf bag!
