The Difference Between Golf Cart Bags and Golf Staff Bags: A Comprehensive Guide

Golf bags are essential equipment for golfers, and choosing the right bag is crucial for an enjoyable game. There are two main types of golf bags: golf cart bags and golf staff bags. When deciding between these two types of bags, it's important to consider accessibility, functionality, fairway usage, dividers, and storage space for golf balls.

Golf cart bags are designed to be carried on a golf cart, and they offer easy accessibility to all your golf equipment. They have more pockets and compartments than golf staff bags, allowing you to organize and access your gear quickly. Golf cart bags also have dividers that keep your clubs separate and prevent them from clanking together during transport. With a golf cart bag, you can easily access your clubs while driving from one hole to another. Additionally, golf cart bags typically have enough storage space for golf balls, so you don't need to worry about running out during your game.

VESSEL’s Lux Cart and Lux Cart XV are both great cart bag options. The Lux Cart bag features an upper magnetic-closure pocket pod. This pod is purposefully designed to snap over a cart strap to allow for efficient access to: rangefinders, tees, golf balls, and other golf accessories. The magnetic pocket pod showcases an elegant, vertical pull that provides a comfortable grab handle. Inside the pocket, is a velour-lined interior that keeps valuables and other essentials, safe and protected. 

The most notable added feature to the Lux XV golf cart bag is the upper magnetic-closure pocket pod. This pod is purposefully designed to snap over a cart strap to allow for efficient access to: rangefinders, tees, golf balls, and other golf accessories. The magnetic pocket pod showcases an elegant, vertical pull that provides a comfortable grab handle. Inside the pocket, is a velour-lined interior that keeps valuables and other essentials, safe and protected.

Golf staff bags, on the other hand, are designed for golfers who prefer to walk the course or use a caddie. They are larger than golf cart bags, and they have fewer pockets and compartments. However, golf staff bags offer functionality, durability, and a professional appearance. They are made from high-quality materials, and they typically have a single strap that allows for easy carrying. While golf staff bags may be heavier than golf cart bags, they provide enough storage space for all your golf equipment, including multiple sets of clubs. Additionally, golf staff bags often have special pockets for storing golf balls, making it easy to access them while on the fairway.

VESSEL has a large lineup of available staff bags to choose from. The Prime Staff bag is a full size staff bag, the type of golf bags you see the caddie’s on the PGA Tour carrying for the professional golfers. VESSEL also offers a number of limited edition staff bags, including the Carbon Fiber Prime Staff , constructed with genuine carbon former material. 

The Lux LE is a midsize staff bag. It has all of the features of a full size staff bag, in a more manageable size for you or your caddy to carry up the fairway. You can also have a mini staff bag. Modeled after our most popular staff bag, the Prodigy Mini Staff boasts the function and finish of a tour bag in a sleek and compact silhouette.

When choosing the right golf bag, it's important to consider the functionality of the bag. If you plan to use a golf cart, a golf cart bag is the best option as it provides easy accessibility to your gear. However, if you prefer to walk the course, a golf staff bag is a better option as it provides durability and enough storage space for all your equipment. It's also important to consider the number of dividers in the bag, as this will help to keep your clubs organized and prevent them from being damaged during transport.

Can I put a staff bag on a golf cart?

Yes, you can put a staff bag on a golf cart. However, it's important to note that staff bags are typically larger and heavier than golf cart bags, which are specifically designed to fit on a golf cart. Staff bags may not fit as snugly on a golf cart as golf cart bags, and their size and weight can make them more cumbersome to move around. Additionally, staff bags often do not have as many pockets and compartments as golf cart bags, which can make it more difficult to access your equipment while on the golf cart. If you prefer to use a staff bag, make sure to choose a golf cart with a larger or adjustable bag bracket to ensure a secure fit and avoid any potential damage to your bag or equipment.

In conclusion, whether you choose a golf cart bag or a golf staff bag, the most important thing is to select a bag that meets your specific needs as a golfer. Consider factors such as accessibility, functionality, fairway usage, dividers, and storage space for golf balls to find the right golf bag for you.
