I am looking at getting a new bag as my old one has about 7 years of wear on it. I am curious as to the benefits and drawbacks of owning a staff bag. I almost always take a cart (either ride or push cart), so the weight of it is not my biggest concern. I guess I am wondering if anyone has had problems with a bag being too bulky? Maybe too big to fit in a car trunk or something? Any feed back is appreciated. I am considering a Mizuno Staff bag, or maybe an Ogio. Any other suggestions for a nice Staff bag?

i think a stand bag is just better cause its not as bulky and carries just about the same amount fo stuff. the only reason the pros use them is cause they have shoes and rain clothes and gloves and balls and more stuff than we the average golfer would carry. so go get your self a stand bag and you will be perfect.

A staff bag is really really big, so you have alot of big pockets but is really big. a cart bag has little pockets but still big enough for everything you need for the course. a staff bag i think is just way to big to be hauling around. i would stick with a cart bag.

Go with a cart bag. Reason is that a good cart bag should have the zippers and pockets strategically placed so that you can easily access the storage areas when mounted on a golf cart.

I myself have several bags. Cart, stand, and sunday bags. Each dependent on use for the day.

I just recently switched from a stand bag to a cart bag......and glad I did. The stand bag has its pros, definately.....but if you will be doing more cart riding than walking, the cart bag is the way to go. First, it fits the cart better than the stand bag with no legs in the way. The cart bag is designed to sit on the cart while allowing access to all pockets. I have a lot more room for rain gear, scorecards, water bottles, etc....for sure....I got the Titlelist S85 and couldn't be happier.

    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.

    • Thanks man, sometimes it’s hard to improve bc when I’m not feeling comfortable I don’t like practicing bc I get frustrated. Any advice?
