Ladies Golf Bag
The ladies golf bag is probably one of her biggest fashion accessories on the golf course. So making sure you chose the bag that is right for you is important.
When choosing your ladies golf bag there are several factors that must be considered. And they come from how you play the game. Whether it is as a serious golfer or whether it is for leisure of enjoying the company of your golfing companions.
The other is whether you are walking around the course of taking a cart. If you opt to walk then a golf carry bag will be the preferred choice of bag for you as they are lighter making them more manageable to carry around the course. The other option is a cart bag these are generally too heavy to carry around the course if you were to try you would probably find yourself rather tired before you were half way around.
And of course on choosing your bag you must try it on to test the fit. However if you do try it on please ensure that you try it with a set of golf clubs in it to get a true feel for the bag. Also please consider the number of pockets the bag has to make sure you have enough storage for everything you need for your game of golf. And of course ladies you can purchase your golf bag with an extra pocket for your purse (which we all know is essential to all ladies). But of course the function of your golf bag depends entirely upon your golfing habits. The more serious the golfer the more you will require from your golf bag where as the more amateur of golfers don’t require the same from there golf bags. And of course ladies you mustn’t forget about the colour. After all this is your biggest golfing accessory. There is a wide range of colour choices out there to suit everyone.
Teenager wins Women’s US Open
South Korean teenager Inbee Park became the youngest player to win the Women’s US Open with a four-shot victory at Interlachen Country Club on Sunday. Scotland’s Catriona Matthew was the best of the British players, finishing with a 73 to climb up to 17th. England’s Karen Stupples finished with a 75 and in a tie for 31st on five over, a mark that also included world number one Lorena Ochoa.
The 19 year old Inbee Park fired a two-under-par 71 in blustery conditions to clinch her maiden LPGA Tour title, eclipsing compatriot Pak Se-ri who won the tournament aged 20 in 1998. Park was the only player to break par in every round in securing her first win on the LPGA Tour. Her highest finishing position in an LPGA major was Tied for 4th in last year’s Women’s US Open.
Some of the golf clubs that Inbee Park uses are:
US Women’s Open
So, we’re 1 day away from finding out the winner of the US Women’s Open in Minnesota and it’s not looking too good for the British ladies, Catriona Matthew, Laura Davies, Karen Stupples and Janice Moodie. Catriona Matthew is going to have to work hard over the next few days if she plans on beating her current highest position in the US Women’s Open. She is currently Tied for 7th and her best finish was Tied for 4th. However, she is doing better in this Major than she has in the previous two so far this year, missing out on the halfway cut at both the Kraft Nabisco Championship and LPGA Championship.
Even Annika Sorenstam is behind on her position last year. She may have finished in Tied for 2nd and tied for 3rd at the Ladies Majors so far this year, but she’s currently Tied for 50th, so she’s quite a way to go.
If you think you can do better than this lot, why not check out our fantastic range of ladies golf equipment at Golfbuyitonline and prove it on the course!
Lorena Ochoa: #1 Female Golfer
Lorena Ochoa began playing golf at the very early age of five winning her first state event at the age of six and her first national event at seven and now holds the title of the number one ranked female golfer in the world. Ochoa secured her first major title in last year’s Women’s British Open and is a hot favourite for this week’s Kraft Nabisco Championship at Mission Hills Country Club after claiming a seven-shot victory at the Safeway International.
Ochoa has used Ping equipment in all 18 of her professional wins and has been using Ping clubs since she was 13 years old. Lorena Ochoa had 14 Ping clubs in her bag when she won the HSBC Champions tournament in Singapore recently but it was her use of the new Ping Redwood ZB putter that made the greatest impact.
Ochoa’s bag also includes:
- Ping Rapture Driver,
- Ping G10 3-wood,
- Ping Rapture 5-wood,
- Ping Rapture 21° Hybrid,
- Ping S58 irons (4-9, PW)
- Ping Tour Wedges (50° and 56°).
Ladies Golf
The U.S. Women’s Open Championship will have probably caused many ladies to pick up a club and start golfing, but with there being so many golf retailers and types of equipment where do you start? A somewhat obvious place to start would be with the clubs themselves. Ladies golf clubs are made with the same craftsmanship as their male equivalents, but with added consideration and modification giving them a lighter overall weight than the male counterpart. Golf Buy It Online supplies a large choice of ladies golf clubs which are purposely manufactured for all levels of female golfer. For women looking for sets of irons then the Callaway Golf Gems Ladies Package set is ideal for those new to the game or the occasional high-handicap player looking to improve their game. If you are looking to improve your game then the Cobra Golf S9 Ladies Graphite Shafted Irons are a great choice as Cobra have made a lot of great irons for women, but these are their most advanced irons yet. If you are looking for a driver to advance your golf then the Ping Golf Rhapsody Ladies Series Drivers, which are engineered specifically for women, will help with longer flying shots. Obviously these are just a couple of examples of the large number of ladies golf clubs available from our online store. Whether you’re looking for Drivers, Irons, Fairways, Rescues, Putters or Wedges, you’ll be able to find just what you’re looking for at Golf Buy It Online.
