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.
