Does your golf bag get twisted in your walking golf cart? Does that interfere with your game or make it less enjoyable? If so, this article can give you some tips to help prevent your bag from twisting.
Golf bag twisting occurs on some traveling golf carts, as some bag manufacturers advertise non-twisting features on their bags.
If you use a walking golf cart, your golf bag may occasionally twist. And if you’re like me, you find that to be aggravating. To do? Solutions to this problem fall into two general categories (1) store-bought or (2) homemade.
1. Store Bought Solutions:
Some golf bag manufacturers advertise anti-twist features on their bags. Torsion-free fabricated solutions fall into the following general categories:
- anti-twist sleeves: The trolley strap is passed through the anti-twist sleeve of the bag.
- anti-twist strap: A strap on the bag attaches to the cart frame.
- Non-slip materials applied to the bottom of the bag.
- The shape of the bottom of the bag.
There is also a hint in the manufacturer’s advertisements that the weight of the bag or the weight distribution of the club may be the cause of the bag twisting.
2. Homemade solutions:
Before you start shopping for a replacement bag, we recommend that you first try the ideas listed below. They are all cheap. We recommend that they be tested in the indicated sequence.
- Check the weight distribution of your clubs to see if the distribution can be better balanced without sacrificing convenient access to your clubs.
- Check your bag to see if a cart strap or straps can be conveniently threaded through any bag straps or openings.
- Get a bungee cord, wrap it around some part of the frame (the bottom is probably best), and pull it tight. This could possibly add enough force to keep the bag from twisting.
- Alternatively, with the bungee cord find a strap or hole through which it can be threaded. Some kind of makeshift anti-torsion bag holster. (There is an unused bottom umbrella hole in my bag that would probably work just fine.)
- Reverse solution #4 so that the bungee cord is attached to the bag and then threaded through some part of the cart frame.
- Find some non-slip material (like the kind used on kitchen cabinets) and stick it to the bottom of your bag.
- You may also be able to apply the same non-slip material to the stroller, either on the bottom bracket or inside the top strap.
- If all of these solutions fail, you may want to consider purchasing a lighter bag with the manufacturer’s “no twist” feature.
One of these solutions should work for your situation. I hope you have found these tips helpful in making your golf experience more enjoyable.
