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 so I'm
00:39going to leave that behind. Next one is my mid-iron so nine, eight and seven. They go in the next
00:47compartment four, five and six in here and then my woods all of my graphite shafted clubs go in at
00:57the top end of the bag and that just orders the bag nicely so that when I'm searching for an iron
01:01iron I'm not looking endlessly. I know roughly where it's going to be before I even look at my bag so
01:06it just makes getting around the golf course that bit quicker and easier. Next up I'm going to look at
01:10golf gloves. So I'd put the golf gloves in this flat pocket on the side of the bag here. This means
01:18that I can keep my gloves nice and flat so they don't sort of crease up too much. I'd also carry a
01:24couple of wet weather gloves. They come in pairs right and left. It means that when you're playing
01:29in bad weather 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 the
01:42bottom of the bag here. I tend to carry quite a few golf balls with me that says quite a lot about my
01:46game. I am prone to losing the odd one or two so I like the big pocket for golf balls and in that pocket
01:53I 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
02:06like ball marker, tee pegs, sharpie, pitch mark repairer which is something everybody should carry
02:14and plasters and I would put them all in this smaller pocket at the top of the bag. So the bigger
02:19pocket for golf balls the smaller pocket for the smaller items they all go in there and after I've
02:24played a round of golf I take all my tees out of my pocket and I put them in that pocket. It's something
02:29worth remembering 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 are
02:40going to be some bigger items that you're going to want to carry with you in case the weather changes
02:44during a round of golf today. The weather is fairly chilly, changeable so I'm carrying a gilet. I also
02:50always carry a bucket hat so I tend to play golf in glasses and when it does rain having that protection
02:56from your glasses is really important. Other golfers who wear glasses will know. I'll put the
03:02gilet that goes in the big pocket here. Obviously if it is going to rain that's where your waterproofs
03:08are going to go. Next up is this smaller pocket here which is for your valuables. So I've got my
03:13phone and my wallet here they'll both slide in here and you'll know it's the valuables pocket because
03:17usually it's got a slightly softer lining to that pocket. And finally the last two items are towel
03:23and range finders. So my towel clips on to this clip here at the top of the bag as does the range
03:32finder which means that I've got good access to both of those things which I'm going to be using
03:38pretty much on every hole. So that's it that's how I would organize my golf bag before I go out and play.
03:53I'll see you in the next one.
