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
01:41pocket at the bottom of the bag here. I tend to carry quite a few golf balls with me. That says
01:45quite a lot about my game. I am prone to losing the odd one or two so I like the big pocket for golf balls
01:51and in that pocket I would also store sunglasses and sun cream so they both go in there. Next up,
02:01some of the really important items that you need to carry you need to have a sort of consistent
02:05access to. So things like ball marker, tee pegs, sharpie, pitch mark repairer which is something
02:13everybody should carry and plasters and I would put them all in this smaller pocket at the top of the
02:18bag. So the bigger pocket for golf balls, the smaller pocket for the smaller items. They all go in
02:23there and after I've played a round of golf I take all my tees out of my pocket and I put them
02:27in that pocket. It's something worth remembering because there's nothing worse than
02:30constantly having tees in your pocket when you're not playing golf. Next up, water bottle on the side
02:36of the bag here. Now of course there are going to be some bigger items that you're going to want to
02:42carry with you in case the weather changes during a round of golf today. The weather is fairly chilly,
02:47changeable so I'm carrying a gilet. I also always carry a bucket hat so I tend to play golf in glasses
02:54and when it does 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 if it is
03:06going to rain that's where your waterproofs are going to go. Next up is this smaller pocket here
03:12which is for your valuables. So I've got my phone and my wallet here. They'll both slide in here and
03:15you'll know it's the valuables pocket because usually it's got a slightly softer lining to that pocket.
03:21And finally the last two items are towel and range finders. So my towel clips on to this clip here
03:30at the top of the bag as does the range finder which means that I've got good access
03:36to both of those things which I'm going to be using pretty much on every hole.
03:39So that's it. That's how I would organise my golf bag before I go out and play.
