When choosing a new golf bag there are a few things to consider. First and foremost, do you walk the course and if so, do you carry your bag? If so then you need something light and easy to carry. That means either a stand bag or a pencil bag.

The best golf stand bags are lightweight, sleek and filled with features to help golfers get the most out of their games. Pencil bags are even more lightweight and are made by all of the top brands so are of great quality. Pencil bags are fantastic to take on holiday with you, for summer use or to keep for when playing on your own.They are ideal if you only want to take a half-set.

If on the other hand you push a trolley, then you will want a cart bag, while golfers who ride a buggy need not concern themselves about weight and can go for anything they like the look of, including the big, beautiful tour bags. The climate you play in should also be factored in. Does it rain a lot? If so, you need to be thinking about a bag that will keep the water out. On that note, if you do often play golf in the rain then we have an array of buying guides available for you, including the best waterproofs, the best waterproof golf jackets and the best waterproof golf bags on the market right now.

We've had a look around for the best deals on the various types of golf bags and we think we've covered all bases with this list of the seven best golf bag deals we've found for this Christmas.

Dave is a distinctly average golfer with (fading) aspirations to be so much more than that. An avid collector of vintage Ping putters and the world's biggest Payne Stewart fan, in 2021 Dave turned his front garden into a giant putting green to work on the weakest area of his game. Progress has been slow but steady! In addition to his work reviewing golf gear and writing features for Golf Monthly and T3, Dave is the founder of the Bang Average Golf website.

Dave’s lowest round is a one over par 73 around Kirkby Valley Golf Club in 2018, which included a bogey on the 18th to ruin the one and only chance he’ll ever have of shooting an even par or better score. That errant tee shot on 18 does not still haunt him to this day though, in fact he hardly ever thinks about it. No, honestly, he doesn’t. Not at all. Never.

Dave splits most of his golf between Hurlston Hall Golf Club in Ormskirk, Lancs, and Berrington Hall Golf Club in St Helens and has a handicap that fluctuates between 9 and 12, largely depending on how poor his putting is.
