00:00Hello everyone, Neil Tappin here from Golf Monthly and welcome to this video on how to arrange your
00:08golf bag. Now on the floor in front of me I've got everything I'd want to carry with me today
00:13out on the golf course and I'm going to put it all in the bag in the order that I would have it
00:16and I've found that over the years this gives me the best access to everything I need while I'm
00:21out on the golf course. I'm going to start with my putter and my wedges. Now I have a four-way
00:25divider for my golf bag which makes this a slightly easier process than if I had more than that and I
00:31put all of my wedges in the putter in the bottom well which is quite big but you're only allowed
00:36to carry 14 clubs. I've got one too many wedges. I've got a wedge that I use to practice. I'm going to
00:39leave that behind. Next one is my mid-iron so nine, eight and seven. They go in the next compartment.
00:48Four, five and six in here and then my woods, all of my graphite shafted clubs go in at the top end
00:57of the bag and that just orders the bag nicely so that when I'm searching for an iron iron I'm not
01:02looking endlessly. I know roughly where it's going to be before I even look at my bag so it just makes
01:06getting around the golf course that bit quicker and easier. Next up I'm going to look at golf gloves.
01:11So I'd put the golf gloves in this flat pocket on the side of the bag here. This means that I can
01:19keep my gloves nice and flat so they don't sort of crease up too much. I'd also carry a couple of
01:25wet weather gloves. They come in pairs right and left. It means that when you're playing in bad
01:29weather they offer excellent traction so I'd also carry those and I put those in that same pocket
01:34by the side of the bag there. Next one, golf balls. So I use, for golf balls, I use the big pocket at
01:42the bottom of the bag here. I tend to carry quite a few golf balls with me. That says quite a lot about
01:46my game. I am prone to losing the odd one or two so I like the big pocket for golf balls and in that
01:52pocket I would also store sunglasses and sun cream so they both go in there. Next up, some of the really
02:02important items that you need to carry. You need to have a sort of consistent access to. So things like
02:06ball marker, tee pegs, sharpie, pitch mark repairer which is something everybody should carry and
02:14plasters and I would put them all in this smaller pocket at the top of the bag. So the bigger pocket
02:19for golf balls, the smaller pocket for the smaller items. They all go in there and after I've played
02:24a round of golf I take all my tees out of my pocket and I put them in that pocket. It's something worth
02:29remembering because there's nothing worse than constantly having tees in your pocket when
02:32you're not playing golf. Next up, water bottle on the side of the bag here. Now of course there
02:40are going to be some bigger items that you're going to want to carry with you in case the
02:43weather changes during a round of golf today. The weather is fairly chilly, changeable so I'm
02:48carrying a gilet. I also always carry a bucket hat so I tend to play golf in glasses and when it
02:54does rain, having that protection from your glasses is really important. Other golfers
03:00who wear glasses will know. I'll put the gilet that goes in the big pocket here. Obviously
03:06if it is going to rain that's where your waterproofs are going to go. Next up is this smaller pocket
03:11here which is for your valuables. So I've got my phone and my wallet here, they'll both slide
03:15in here and you'll notice the valuables pocket because usually it's got a slightly softer lining
03:19to that pocket. And finally the last two items are towel and range finder. So my towel clips
03:27on to this clip here at the top of the bag as does the range finder which means that I've
03:34got good access to both of those things which I'm going to be using pretty much on every hole.
03:40So that's it, that's how I would organise my golf bag before I go out and play.
