Golf Bags � Golf Stand Bags � How they Came About

 Golf stand bags have undergone massive developments to become one of the most popular golf bags today

The Story of the Golf Stand Bag

Look around your local golf course and see what style of golf bags people are carrying. Chances are a good percentage will be using golf stand bags. But if you'd done the same thing just 15 years ago, chances are these stand bag users would have been the minority.

The golf stand bag suffered a bad reputation for a long time � with many golfers feeling this type of golf bag was for players who were too old to bend over, had a bad back or were just too lazy to use a carry bag.

The turnaround came in America when the number one team at Oklahoma State University began to use the golf stand bags and discovered how convenient they were to use, not least because their clubs stayed dryer than those of the teams using normal carry golf bags. They were also pleased with the way they didn't have to bend over to pull their clubs out of their bags.

Suddenly golf stand bags were the trend amongst college teams, and once everyone saw these hip young golfers using them, sales skyrocketed and the trend spread through golfing communities worldwide.

The golf equipment industry is worth a massive $3billion, with golf bags comprising a $300million share. Golf stand bags are worth nearly 60% of that sum, proving just how popular these golf bags have become.

The Development of Golf Stand Bags

Golf stand bags are one of the most heavily developed golf bag products of recent years. They were created in the late early 1980's when manufacturer Sun Mountain introduced the first golf bag with legs that extended automatically when you sat it down � now known as the golf stand bag. These retractable legs are now standard features, and are much appreciated by golfers across the world who no longer have to stoop down to pick up and put down their golf bag!

The Advantages of Golf Stand Bags

Golf stand bags are perhaps the most useful of all the golf bags. Some of the reasons for this include:

• No bending over to find your golf clubs
• Reduces the strain of picking up and putting down your golf bag
• Makes it easy to find your clubs and accessories
• Saves you time on the golf course
• Keeps your clubs dry in wet weather (when used with a hood)
• Helps you save energy for your game

So if you're still using a standard carry golf bag, why not consider switching to a golf stand bag and enjoy the benefits they can bring you.
