Full Definition
Golf bags come in several types: Stand bag (lightweight with built-in legs that extend on the ground — for walking golfers), Cart bag (heavier, more pockets, designed to sit on a cart — not for carrying), Staff bag (the large tour bags caddies carry — maximum storage, heaviest, designed for riding), and Sunday bag (minimalist, carries 7-9 clubs, extremely lightweight — for quick rounds). Key considerations: weight (stand bags 3-5 pounds, cart bags 5-8 pounds), dividers (14-way full-length dividers protect shafts from contact), pocket configuration (wet pocket for wet weather gear, insulated pocket for food/drink, valuables pocket), and strap system (dual strap for walking). Club organization: longest clubs at the back (driver, woods), shortest at the front (wedges, putter), irons in between.
