00:00 (golf club whacks)
00:02 Hello everyone, Neil Tappan here from Golf Monthly
00:05 and welcome to this video on how to arrange your golf bag.
00:09 Now, on the floor in front of me,
00:10 I've got everything I'd want to carry with me today
00:13 out on the golf course, and I'm gonna put it all in the bag
00:15 in the order that I would have it,
00:16 and I've found that over the years,
00:18 this gives me the best access to everything I need
00:20 while I'm out on the golf course.
00:21 I'm gonna start with my putter and my wedges.
00:24 Now, I have a four-way divider for my golf bag,
00:27 which makes this a slightly easier process
00:29 than if I had more than that.
00:31 And I put all of my wedges in the putter
00:32 in the bottom well, which is quite big.
00:34 But you're only allowed to carry 14 clubs.
00:36 I've got one too many wedges.
00:38 I've got a wedge that I use to practice,
00:39 so I'm gonna leave that behind.
00:42 Next one is my mid-iron, so nine, eight, and seven.
00:47 They go in the next compartment.
00:49 Four, five, and six in here.
00:52 And then my woods, all of my graphite-shafted clubs
00:56 go in at the top end of the bag,
00:57 and that just orders the bag nicely
01:00 so that when I'm searching for an iron iron,
01:01 I'm not looking endlessly.
01:02 I know roughly where it's gonna be
01:03 before I even look at my bag.
01:05 So it just makes getting around the golf course
01:07 that bit quicker and easier.
01:09 Next up, I'm gonna look at golf gloves.
01:11 So I put the golf gloves in this flat pocket
01:16 on the side of the bag here.
01:18 This means that I can keep my gloves nice and flat
01:20 so they don't sort of crease up too much.
01:22 I'd also carry a couple of wet-weather gloves.
01:25 They come in pairs, right and left.
01:27 It means that when you're playing in bad weather,
01:29 they offer excellent traction.
01:31 So I'd also carry those, and I put those
01:33 in that same pocket by the side of the bag there.
01:36 Next one, golf balls.
01:37 So I use, for golf balls, I use the big pocket
01:42 at the bottom of the bag here.
01:43 I tend to carry quite a few golf balls with me.
01:45 That says quite a lot about my game.
01:47 I am prone to losing the odd one or two,
01:49 so I like the big pocket for golf balls.
01:52 And in that pocket, I would also store
01:55 sunglasses and sun cream.
01:58 So they both go in there.
01:59 Next up, some of the really important items
02:02 that you need to carry,
02:03 you need to have a sort of consistent access to.
02:05 So things like ball marker, T-pegs, sharpie,
02:10 pitch mark repair, which is something everybody should carry,
02:14 and plasters, and I would put them all
02:17 in this smaller pocket at the top of the bag.
02:18 So the bigger pocket for golf balls,
02:20 the smaller pocket for the smaller items,
02:22 they all go in there.
02:23 And after I've played a round of golf,
02:25 I take all my teas out of my pocket
02:26 and I put them in that pocket.
02:28 It's something worth remembering
02:29 because there's nothing worse than constantly
02:31 having teas in your pocket when you're not playing golf.
02:34 Next up, water bottle on the side of the bag here.
02:37 Now, of course, there are going to be some bigger items
02:41 that you're going to want to carry with you
02:42 in case the weather changes during a round of golf today.
02:45 The weather is fairly chilly, changeable,
02:47 so I'm carrying a gilet.
02:50 I also always carry a bucket hat.
02:52 So I tend to play golf in glasses.
02:54 When it does rain, having that protection
02:55 from your glasses is really important.
02:58 Other golfers who wear glasses will know.
03:01 I'll put the gilet that goes in the big pocket here.
03:05 Obviously, if it is going to rain,
03:07 that's where your waterproofs are going to go.
03:10 Next up is this smaller pocket here,
03:12 which is for your valuables.
03:13 So I've got my phone and my wallet here.
03:14 They'll both slide in here.
03:15 And you'll notice the valuables pocket
03:16 'cause usually it's got a slightly softer
03:18 lining to that pocket.
03:20 And finally, the last two items are towel and rangefinder.
03:25 So my towel clips onto this clip here
03:29 at the top of the bag, as does the rangefinder,
03:33 which means that I've got good access
03:36 to both of those things,
03:37 which I'm going to be using pretty much on every hole.
03:39 So that's it.
03:40 That's how I would organize my golf bag
03:44 before I go out and play.
