How to choose a golf bag

Try the bag with your own clubs and normal load. Check carrying comfort, access to pockets on your trolley and how securely the bag sits on the cart.

A 14-way top does not necessarily mean 14 full-length dividers. Distinguish water-repellent material from a waterproof construction, and follow the manufacturer's rain-cover and care instructions.
