Golf cart bags are larger than the staff bags, those you cannot possibly walk around with. They have a lot of space to carry a lot of stuff on the course. This might be an extra pair of golf shoes, a shirt, a cap and even a pair of pants. Normally the golf cart bag is used to carry iron extra irons, these are just as good as the staff bags, but if you carry both would be a waste. The combinations that we have seen are golf cart bags and stand bags, while if a golfer uses a staff bag he has none of the other two and most things can be kept or held in a staff bag. The golf cart bag is just as one golfer described it as huge.

Golf stand bags are smaller than both the golf staff bag and the cart bag and as the name suggests carries a stand that allows you to prop the bag upright when you are using it. The golf stand bags are of much lighter weight bags that use a stand; this is in actuality not a stand but foldable legs propped on the side of the stand golf bag and these fold out to keep the bag upright when you are playing. These are the real bags that players carry around themselves and that they don’t need a caddy for. The bags usually carry no more than 8 – 9 clubs and have a small area for a towel and a strap. The stand bag is ideal if you are playing on a smaller course and you are prepared to walk out that course. Undoubtedly the golf stand bag is the most popular worldwide and the least expensive as well.
