I remember my first summer round in Palm Springs like it was yesterday. By the fourth hole, my “cold” water was bathwater. By the turn, my sandwich tasted like warm plastic. I spent the back nine more focused on finding the beverage cart than making pars. That’s when I realized the problem wasn’t my swing; … Read more
You see it on TV every Sunday. The caddie heaves a massive tour bag onto their shoulder, hikes up a steep fairway, and never once complains.

If you own a three-wheel push cart, you know the struggle. You strap a stand bag onto it, and the whole thing starts rotating the second you hit a bump. The straps cover your pockets. The bottom of the bag sits unevenly on the lower support bracket. It’s frustrating because it feels like it should … Read more
If you only have full use of one arm, a traditional golf bag can feel like it was designed to fight you at every turn. I spent weeks testing five different lightweight bags to find out which ones actually work when you can’t use a second hand to hold the bag open, balance a flimsy … Read more
If you stand under 5’4″, you have probably walked onto a course with a standard carry bag and felt something off. The bag sits too low on your back. The strap digs in at a weird angle. And the whole thing seems to swing around more than it should. I have heard this exact frustration … Read more
