The time of year is upon us where we are suddenly playing a lot more golf. The invitations to have a round in a corporate day or play a cheeky 9 holes are coming thick and fast, but is your golf bag ready?
A poorly prepared set of equipment (I’m not just talking clubs) can seriously cost you shots and get you flustered during your round. So what do you really need in your bag and what could you take out to make the game easier.
Take Everything Out
Yes, seriously. Now is the time to empty your bag. Is it suitable for your kind of golf? Could it be smaller, lighter, more clever in its design? Do the straps do a good job when you carry it? Is it still waterproof, or could you potentially upgrade.
Our best women’s golf bags guide will help you to find the one you need for your game in no time. There are bags out there that do brilliant jobs, yet take up less space, and are also super lightweight. If yours weighs a ton, think about the effect this has on your body and energy levels.

The majority of female golfers would benefit from stripping out the longer irons and adding a hybrid or a higher lofted 9-wood. These are far easier to hit for slower swing speeds and much more versatile.
Consider booking a golf club gapping session with your professional and try to streamline the clubs you carry to make your bag and your decision making lighter on the course.
