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. But I’ve talked to enough caddies to know the truth: a full-size 12-inch staff bag loaded with 40-plus pounds of gear is a brutal day’s work. The player gets … Read more

We tested the lightest golf bags for women with a real scale and 18 holes of carrying. The Izzo Ultra Lite is the true champion at 3.2 lbs. You know the feeling. Halfway through the back nine, your left shoulder starts screaming. You shift the bag to the other side, but that only lasts four … Read more

Let’s be straight with each other. If you’re looking at the Findway 14 Way Golf Stand Bag, you’ve probably seen the price tag and thought, “That’s almost too good to be true.” I’ve been there. You see a bag offering 14 full-length dividers, a dual strap system, and a rain cover for about the same … Read more

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

You pull your phone out of that flimsy, unlined pouch on your old bag and find the screen covered in scratches from a loose divot tool. Or worse,  you reach for your wallet after a round, and it’s damp because the pocket had zero water resistance. That’s the exact frustration that led me down this … Read more
