No matter if you are an avid golfer or you only pull the clubs out of the closest a few times a year, there is one thing that every player needs — a golf bag. There are plenty of options when it comes to the sheath for your weapons, but some bags are a better fit for certain types of golfers.
If you’re a social golfer that only gets out on the course to knock back a few cold ones, a cart bag is likely your best option. If you want to mimic a Tour pro with their massive bags, a staff bag is your best bet. And if you want to enjoy the walk, a carry bag is likely the best option for you. But no matter what style you choose, you can share in the commonality between all golfers and the bond with their bag.
Here are five of our favorite bags we recommend when shopping for your golf-crazed loved ones.
