As the touring golf pros play their competitive rounds, they are accompanied by two very important accessories; the indispensable caddy and their staff bag. The tour staff bag is an important part of the golfer’s arsenal. It easily carries the full component of fourteen clubs and has lots of pockets for Golf Balls, Golf Shoes, hats, tees and all the other little pieces of equipment that get the touring pros
through their rounds. As the pro strolls down
the fairway, the caddy carries the staff bag
that, loaded, can easily weigh over fifty pounds.
A Golf Club staff bag is rarely carried by the average golfer, but happily placed on the Golf Cart. The more adventurous walkers usually use a Carry Golf Bag. However, if a “hold absolutely everything” golf bag is needed, staff bags do fit nicely on the average golf cart.
Where do you get a Golf Club Staff Bag? All the major brands certainly have them in their online stores or at your friendly pro shop. Favorite choices are those from Callaway, Cleveland, Cobra, Ping, Taylor Made, Titleist and Wilson. Wilson is now offering Golf Bags made in China at, we understand, very competitive prices. Staff bags are also made by well known golf bag manufactures like
Mizuno and Ogio.
You can also have a custom staff bag made with your name, company logo or some other significant decoration.
I use a staff bag and it becomes a happy home for everything I use on the Golf Course. In addition to my full complement of Golf Clubs, there are pockets and storage areas for balls, tees, markers and my trusty distance gauge as well as Golf Gloves and shoes and several other Golfing Accessories. A large pocket in the bottom even has room for my rain gear, an extra sweater or two and there is even space for a nutrition bar, snacks and a tasty beverage.
While it’s a bit heavy from the car to the clubhouse, once the staff bag is on the cart, weight doesn’t matter.
One slight problem is that all these clubs and Golf Accessories have a tendency to take up permanent residence unless a conscious effort is made to take time to empty the contents and remove all the wrappers, empties, ripped golf gloves and all the other nasty things that have taken up residence over the past few months.
Since you have spent a couple hundred dollars on this beauty, this is also the perfect time to clean up the staff bag. The best way to do this is to put a little dishwashing soap and water in a container. Spray the bag with a hose or wipe it with a wet rag to get it wet. Then, using an old towel or wash cloth aggressively clean the bag. Take some time and get rid of any dirt pockets that can build up in any nooks and crannies. Be more careful on any embroidered or velour covered areas.
Once your golf staff bag is cleaned to your satisfaction, prepare it for drying. This is also a great time to, literally, get it back into shape. Fill the pockets and storage areas of your staff golf bag with paper of regular towels. Don’t overfill and make sure all the zippers close and the snaps snap. Let it dry for twenty four hours, indoors or in a shady area to prevent any fading. You can also use leather or vinyl cleaners, but good old soap and water works just fine.
The next day, remove the towels and presto, its almost like brand new.
If you can handle the weight and don’t forget it needs a little loving care and feeding, your staff golf bag can be your best friend on the golf course.
