Is there a proper way to arrange the clubs in a golf bag?

Answer 1

First off, make sure you're looking at it the right way.

The bottom of the bag is the part that faces the ground when you carry it. The top is where the handle is, or where the straps originate.

Place the bag vertical, if you have one with stands, let it rest on it's stands. Look at the bag from the position where you would be when you are going to remove a club for a shot.

Most bags have sections, so from top to bottom, left to right, place your clubs in this order: Driver, woods, long irons, short irons, wedges, putter. If your bag is like mine, and has four sections, one on the top, two in the middle side by side, and one on the bottom, place your clubs in groups (i.e. Woods in the top section, and a 3 iron if you play with one; 4,5,6 iron in the left middle section; 7,8,9 in the right middle section; PW, SW, GW in the bottom section; and put your putter in either the bottom section, or top, according to preference -- its easier for me to grab the putter when its in the top, plus it gets less banged up)

Answer 2

I would say it depends on whether or not you are riding in a cart, pulling a hand cart, carrying your clubs, or using a caddy. It really is a matter of personal preference. Group short to long so that they accessible and dont bang short irons against longer clubs with graphite shafts.

You could "just throw them in the bag, however the way I was taught is to arrange them in your dividers or individual tubes with the longest clubs (woods) on the high end of the bag through the the shortest clubs (wedges) at the lowest side of the bag. However I have always put my putter with my woods, even though it is my shortest club. It really is a matter of preference.

Answer 3

on the back row of the bag( the high side) place your driver and fairway woods. in the middle sections place your hybrids/irons. in the front section place your wedges. the putter is put in the back row unless there is a special slot for the putter in the front. there is no set way to arrange your clubs but they are traditionally placed from less loft to more loft. however, you should do whatever is most comfortable for you.

Answer 4

Anyway you want. It depends how many dividers there are. Most people usually keep the driver and woods together, then 3,4 and 5, then 6,7 and 8 then 9 and PW, then sand wedge and lob wedge. And putter separate. Do it how you want it, but some people can be very particular in how they arrange their clubs.

6 Iron

7 Iron

8 Iron

9 Iron

A Putter

Answer 6

You can arrange them anyway you want. But I like to have the longer clubs at the top, and the shorter clubs at the bottom. So driver and woods at the top, descending down to the wedges at the bottom. This way it keeps the clubheads separate and it won't dent other club heads or wear on the graphite shafts. But as I said, anyway you want to have them.

Answer 7

Anyway you want really, organise it well. Have a big pocket for waterproofs, one for balls, one for tees, one for drinks, one for food, one for accessories such pencils, ball markers and pitchmark repairers.

Answer 8

You can have whatever type of club you want in your bag. The maximum however is 14 clubs, so don't go over that. But you can have any 14 you want.

Answer 9

clubs facing forward
