Stand golf bags have retractable legs, normally in the form of a tripod, which actuate when the golf bag is set down, and allow the bag to stand up at an angle. This allows the bag and clubs to be more easily accessible than if they were lying on the ground. It also keeps the bag and your clubs clean and dry in wet or muddy conditions.

Stand Golf Bags Save Time

If you carry the bag around the course with you, rather than use a buggy or golf cart, then you should consider one of the many designs of stand golf bags available. Without the stand, you would have to drop your bag onto the ground and rummage around to find the club you want. You would also have to hunt around for the pocket containing your tees and spare golf balls.

With stand golf bags, on the other hand, the bag stands up at an angle on spring-loaded legs. The clubs are normally held in separate tubes for easy choice and access, and you can easily find your tees and the rest. On every shot, you also avoid the need to drop your bag, bend down to select your club, bend down to replace your club, then pick up your bag. Depending on how good (or bad) you are, you could be doing this up to a hundred times a round! Just think what all that will be doing to your back!

They are Good for Your Back

If you have a temporary back condition and don’t want to go through the expense of a golf cart and cart bag, a stand bag could be ideal for you. Everything you get in carry bags you also get in stand golf bags, including covers, carry options such as carry cases and carry covers (to protect your bag and golf clubs in your trunk or from normal handling stresses in airports).

Stand golf bags are also customizable and available in a wide range of colors, designs, logos, etc., just like most other golf bags in the marketplace. Each can carry anything from a half set to a full set of 14 clubs, and a lot of models have separate putter tubes for easy putter access, full sets of pockets and clips for umbrellas, ball retrievers, etc.
