golf bag discussion

Newer golfer here and am looking into getting a bag. Just wondering what most people use or prefer. I will be using a push cart. Those big staff bags look pretty cool. Will they fit on a push cart? What do golfers think about these bags? I do not see alot of people using them. What do you all recommend? Any and all discussion about bags in general welcome and wanted. I am also interested in how golfers arrange their bags. Like what clubs go where, and even how one sits the bag on the cart. I realized if I put my bag on sideways I have access to both pockets and the clubs lay better. What is the general concencious? Looking forward to your replies.

I use a Sun Mountain C130. It has club dividers and all the pockets are in the front. they also make one made just for pull carts.

Well since you will be using a push cart I would recommend a bad with a built in cooler compartment. Speaking from experience a 48 can cooler strapped on to your pull cart isn't the best idea.. you spend more time trying to keep the cooler from falling off than you do playing.

I have a staff bag and it sits on my push/pull cart fine I don't have the best access to my big side pocket but i don't really use it while playing. I arange my clubs so that all my long clubs (driver woods and long Irons) sit close to the cart and handle then as you get to the top of my bag are my shorter clubs like my putter ans wedges. I hope that makes sense.

The somewhat lighter weight "cart bags" might be easier to push or pull around the course and they hold just as much as the staff bags. So what if you can only carry 2 dozen balls instead of 3 dozen... As for the cooler pockets, my simple Datrek cart bag has two sized for water bottles. There are other bags with a cooler pocket big enough to hold a lot more, but the weight would eventually become prohibitive. To drink the beer and lighten the load might leave you not remembering much of your round, and we couldn't have that now, could we?

Exclamation

So how big of a bag is suggested? Mine not only carries my weapons,but has room for rain gear six bottles of water or thermos of coffee, never drink beer in hot weather, dehydrates you and causes ball to go wrong way or not at all My bag has what I need for seasonal play and doesn't look humongous like the pro's and I'd like to know what they carry
