The Golf Ball Shag Bag ? Making Practice Fun Again, Guaranteed!

Any golfer looking to improve needs to get a golf ball shag bag. It doesn?t matter if you have a

driving range at your home course or not you still need to practice your approach shots and short game

around the greens. This little innovative piece of equipment makes things a lot easier to pick up and

store the golf balls you use during practice.

These great little bags are skinny and cylindrical in shape. They stand about two feet tall and have a

small little tube (usually metal) that runs the full way down the center of the bag. It?s just a little

wider than a golf ball and has three or four flexible little metal teeth at the bottom or one end so the

balls don?t fall out. The top part of the tube is covered with the actual bag part of this tool that

holds the golf balls in it. There is a small zipper that runs down the side of the bag so you can empty

the balls out when you?re ready to use them.

What about the balls you ask? Well, just use the old balls in your bag or the ones you?ve found around

the course. Golfers will often refer to a found ball that is in bad shape as a ?shag ball? and will use

it in their shag bag. You can also go to any store and get some refurbished golf balls really cheap to

put in the bag if you don?t have enough old ones kicking around.

What you do with the golf ball shag bag is pick up your golf balls after you?re finished practicing or

hitting them. The top part of the bag will have a handle that you hold on to as you walk around picking

up your balls. You simply go over to one of your balls, position the bottom of the tube on top of the

ball, and simply push down slightly until you hear the ball click and go into the tube. Go over to the

next ball and do the same thing until they?re all picked up. It?s as easy as that, no effort or bending

over to gather them up. The balls will start piling on top of each other and climbing up the tube. As

they reach the top of the tube they?ll flow over the top and down into the bag.

Golf ball shag bags are very simple to transport as they aren?t very heavy. They hold about 50 golf

balls on average depending on what size bag you get. They fit easily into the trunk of your car, or the

bottom of your locker (if you?re lucky enough to have one) at your golf club. So golfers will even keep

them with their clubs if they have club storage at their respective clubs. Since a lot of golf clubs

(specially the older ones) don?t have a driving range these little practice bags come in real handy for

practicing short irons or your short game. They?re also great if you just want to warm up by hitting a

few balls before a round without having to go to an offsite range.

Simply put these golf ball shag bags are great to have around. They will make your practice sessions

easier and quick so you don?t waste any time. After all, every one has so little time to practice it?s

important to use your time wisely. If you don?t have one of these bags yet, go out and get one and watch

your game improve with practice.
