A lightweight bag makes walking even more enjoyable.

For most of the country, golf is in the midst of a serious boom, and in addition to the scores of people either taking up or returning to the game, more and more golfers are also discovering the joys of walking. For obvious reasons, the lighter your bag, the more enjoyable the walk, and that’s why minimalist golf bags — whether they’re ultra-light, or designed to accommodate fewer clubs than a full-size bag — are a great option, especially for casual rounds.

Check out our five favorite bags that are perfect for a golfer who loves to walk below, and while you’re shopping, make sure to browse through the rest of the items on offer in GOLF’s Pro Shop — your ultimate source for the latest apparel, shoes, training aids and more.
