Ladies golf bags: Designer look yet still practical

Editor — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 02:55:22 +0000

On our last trip to Maui, my husband and I brought our golf bags with us. (Yes, we brought our golf bags on our honeymoon!) I brought my junior golf bag similar to the picture on the right. I switched to the smaller junior stand bag a few years ago because I wanted to carry my clubs and not haul them in a pull-cart. For the flights to Maui, I did not secure the kick stand with tape so now the kick-back action is not perfect. I’m fed up with it so now I am on the search for a new stand bag that does not dwarf me in size.

There are many styles of ladies golf bags available now. I found that the best selection and deals are online rather than in the golf shops. I also live in Canada so the most selection and sales are in the US. Some of the best deals I’ve found have been on eBay for used and new golf bags. Some vendors are even offering free shipping to Canada. Here are some stand bags that I really like:

“Corey” Stand Bag by KERI (~ $299US)	“Jill” Stand Bag by KERI (~ $299US)
“Eleanor” Stand Bag by KERI (~ $299US)	“Bess” Stand Bag by KERI (~ $299US)
Sun Mountain Superlight 3.5 Womens (~$169 CAD)	TaylorMade Corza Womens (~ $129.99 CAD)

The Keri golf bags can be found online at www.LadyGolf.com. Some of the features of the Keri brand are:

Lightweight stand bag at around 7lbs and height of 34 inches
8-inches oval top
5 full length club dividers (The more dividers the better, I say!)
Putter well (A must! – Can’t stand a scratch on my little putter.)
Double padded strap carry system that easily converts to a single strap
Lumbar back pad (Ahhhh… nice. My junior bag didn’t have this.)
4 external pockets and 6 internal compartments (Sweet!!!)
Ball sleeve pocket (No more unsightly bulges from stuffing two balls in my back pocket. No garbage mind comments, please! =P)
Unbrella holder (Perfect for Vancouver unpredictable rainy weather!)
Detachable coordinating zip bag & mirror (For makeup and stuff for Hole #19!)
Exterior tee slots (Again, no more unsightly bulges and pointy tips in back pocket.)
Matching travel/rain hood

Here is my ultimate stand bag:
Burberry GA26 Lightweight Stand Bag
with 4-way top covered with soft fur

Hmmm… our anniversary is coming up. (Hint hint to the hubby since my golf bag did get broken on our honeymoon.) — Editor’s note: Again, no garbage minded comments, please! =P

Golf Ball Review: Spalding Flying Lady

Spalding Flying Lady Golf Balls

The Flying Lady golf ball is what I always use. This ball is perfect for the woman just learning to play golf. It is specially designed to react better with a slower swing. It’s cut proof and scuff resistant. They last quite a while. Through my experience with it, it has distanced my shot as well. Not many balls can do that for my swing! I especially like the fact the balls are pink. (Not just that I like the color pink!) but they are very eye-catching, so they’re easier to spot. Besides all of these things, you can buy a box of 15 of these balls for under $15 dollars. Good golf balls can be rather expensive these days, so The Flying Lady is quite a find! I hope I’ve helped you in deciding your next ball.

Golf Club Review: Nike BC OZ T100 Putter

Nike BC OZ T100 Putter

I have tried every single putter imaginable ! Blade putters, mallets, cheap putters- expensive ones you name it I had it. I was really terrible. I tried this putter at a sports store fooling around one day and was able to get a good feel for distance and direction. So I bought one and I have had it a few weeks now and honestly so far it has been great on the course. Distance control is good and direction is excellent, maybe its confidence inspiring I dont know but I would say the best putter I have tried so far !

If like me you struggle putting then try this putter, it worked for me !

Golf Club Review: Calloway x460 Driver

Calloway x460 Driver

Thought it was time upgrade from my Great Big Bertha. Not a fan of buying the latest and greatest so I picked up a 10 degree X460 with the NV65 S shaft. It was flawless off a dude on ebay. Took it straight out without hitting the range first for nine holes and hit every fairway. Not as long as my GBB but only because I’ve never hit this x460. The sound is obnoxious but I could care less.
Great job as always Callaway..I will be riding this one for a while.
