Results compiled by Jake O’Reilly

Gold Medal

Ping Latitude V2

WHAT WE THOUGHT

“The Ping strap is the best on the market for me, and I love how stable the stand is. Durable and a good range of pockets – hard to fault” Dan

“I like the divider and the large pockets, and the strap fits great” Mark

“It’s a bit plain to look at but is very comfortable and functional. I really like the rangefinder pocket” Joe

“Exactly what you expect – solid if unspectacular to look at” Chris

“It sits well on the back and stands very solidly. A bit plain for my taste” Andy

Nike Golf Performance Carry

WHAT WE THOUGHT

“I adore this bag. There’s so much room for anything you need and it looks really sharp. Plus, the stand is sturdy” Joe

“Functionally outstanding, but for me there’s too much going on and I don’t like 14-way dividers” Dan

“I agree with Dan, there’s a lot going on. Great straps, though” Mark

“There are loads of dividers – I love that – and the strap is excellent. I also like the ball access sleeve” Andy

Ogio Edge

WHAT WE THOUGHT

“A little bit Star Trek for my taste – a lot going on. Well-made, though” Dan

“Clever, I like it. Perhaps a bit too much detail but the strap is comfortable and the pockets are large and plentiful” Mark

“Very functional and full of clever features. The dividers have little shelves to keep your irons in place, which I love” Joe

“Quite heavy – nearly a cart bag – but the straps are nice. It seems sturdy” Chris
