The Ping Ladies G Le 3 Traverse cart bag completes the range of Ping’s third generation of G Le3 equipment that is specifically designed for female golfers. While I generally prefer to use a stand bag, I was keen to find out how this bag stood up against the best women’s golf bags on the market.

Of course, the first thing I noticed was the colorway, and in my opinion, this is the best one yet that Ping has created for the Ping G Le range. It’s largely blue and white, the blue is not quite as dark as navy and this color is highlighted with a very subtle pattern. My only concern is that the white elements of this bag might be difficult to keep clean.

The finishing touches are splashes of gold that show off the brand name and also the words ‘Play Your Best’ that’s printed at the bottom of the ball and tee pocket. I really like this, you can’t miss it, and we all need that reminder before we tee off! I should also add that there is a separate section within this pocket for tees, which demonstrates the detail of this design. I really like this, you can’t miss it, and we all need that reminder before we tee off!

Let’s start at the top, and clubs are nicely protected, plus it’s easy to find the one you’re looking for thanks to the 14-way divider. I also like the grab handle, which makes it less hassle to transport the bag, especially when carrying a full set of clubs and everything else that you’ve packed into your bag.

When it comes to the number and size of pockets, Ping has thought of everything. To be honest, I didn’t fill them all, but if I used this bag on a regular basis, I’m sure I would - like filling a larger than you need suitcase!

In total, there are 11 pockets with two large apparel pockets either side. Inside these are two slip pockets and on the outside are two more magnetic slip pockets. The other pockets are positioned neatly at the front of the bag for easy access including one for valuables and an insulated cooler pocket. It also comes with an umbrella holder and rain hood, plus if you take your glove off when putting, there’s a Velcro attachment.

This bag looks and feels very durable and I found it sat very well on my trolley. There is an additional handle at the side and a carry strap, but to be honest, I doubt many women would carry this bag (only from the car), unless they’ve got a caddie carrying it for them!

Overall, this is a very stylish cart bag, it’s well designed and has everything that women could possibly need to help them enjoy a stress-free round.
