Best Golf Bags For Seniors
Getting on in your golfing life means that you are unlikely to be carrying a full set of clubs in a normal stand bag. I mean, why would you? It’s heavy! That’s why the best push cart bags (opens in new tab) for trolleys are so popular these days. However even cart bags can get pretty heavy when maneuvering a trolley, so lightweight versions are becoming more mainstream as manufacturers use new materials and techniques to create trolley bags that have enough space for your gear, retain their shape and weigh much less than the traditional cart bag.
This is important for senior golfers as it makes the bag lighter to lift in and out of the car, but also on and off the trolley. It also makes the trolley easier to steer on the course as the combined weight with the bag means less effort is required, particularly if you are using a push trolley rather than an electric one. One of the major developments in golf bags in recent years has been the incorporation of waterproof materials to these products that are much thinner and lighter than before. The best waterproof golf bags (opens in new tab) usually come with storm zips and cool pockets to keep your drinks cool. They are also very robust and keep everything dry, meaning you won’t have to pack a wet set of clubs into your trunk after your round.
Even though senior golfers don’t often carry their bags, there are some exceptions. With many courses restricting trolleys in the winter due to course conditions, more manufacturers are now also offering lightweight golf bags (opens in new tab), some that are effectively pencil bags with legs. The best pencil bags (opens in new tab) are usually a little shorter and smaller with 7-inch tops and a couple of pockets for a few items – ideal for taking a half set and a few balls out for a winter game. But whatever bag you’re thinking of buying, be sure to check out our list below on the best golf bags for senior golfers and our buyers guide on what to consider when purchasing your next golf bag.
