Golf Bags – Advances In Technology

The days of basic leather golf bags are long gone, as designers make the most of modern technologies

Long gone are the days of plain, practical and purely functional golf bags. Golf equipment designers and manufacturers have realised in recent years that golfers love variety, and are taking risks with the styles of their golf bags.

Golf Bags of Days Gone By

Golf bags have come a long way in a century. In the 1920’s the standard style for a golf bag was a cylindrical carrier made of cloth and leather, with a shoulder and hand strap. They were usually black or brown in colour, although there are examples of antique golf bags for children with bright tartan patterns. These designs were very basic and functional, and had no special features that we see in modern day golf bags, such as compartments for clubs or pockets for accessories.

The Development of Golf Bags

As golf grew in popularity throughout the middle of the century, the design of golf bags became more technical. Some of today’s major golf bag brands began to put a lot of time, effort and money into researching and designing their products, and golfers began to enjoy bags with high-quality and light-weight fabrics. There were other developments that affected the golf bags industry, such as the invention of a battery-powered golf cart in the 1950’s. Golf companies started to develop bags that could sit safely on these carts and caddies began to worry about losing their jobs! In 1986 the first golf bags with an automated leg system were invented, and in 1990 the double straps on carry golf bags first hit the greens.

Today’s Golf Bags

When you go shopping for golf bags nowadays, you are simply spoilt for choice. Designs range from affordable bags made from lightweight nylon, to blow-the-budget designer leather bags. Double straps come as standard on most golf bags now, as do features like golf club compartments, pockets for accessories and a rain hood. When you move into the mid- and top-range golf bags, you can expect features like fur-lined pockets, lighter-weight designs, and more strategically-placed pockets for items like golf balls and water bottles.

Golf Bags of Tomorrow

With advances in technology, golf bags look set to become highly technical pieces of equipment. One recent development is a Dutch-designed golf bag with solar panels, which can charge mobile phones and laptops. This is ideal for businessmen who need to be able to take calls at every hour of the day and can’t risk running out of battery power on the golf course. And who knows what else golf bag manufacturers might come up with? A talking golf bag that advises you on which club to use for your next shot? An in-built weather predicting function? Golf bags with built-in drinks coolers? With today’s technologies the sky’s the limit!

Golf bags are available in various varieties and now technology is advance, now you have many choices to select according to your requirement, don’t require going old ones.
