Problems solved by technology

Therefore, cart bags are larger and heavier than their stand bag equivalents.

Since cart bags are not designed to be carried for the entire length of the golf course, cart bags are generally heavy and comprise a shell with many more features than carry bags.

Many of the components of each type of golf bag may not be interchangeable, further many of the components of different styles of the same type of golf bags are not interchangeable.

Therefore, consumers are limited by the combinations of top members, bottom members and golf bag shells that are provided by the golf bag manufacturers.

Completed golf bags are bulky and expensive to ship and store for manufacturers, distributors, and retailers.

The storage of a sufficient inventory of golf bags is difficult due to the number of varieties, styles, accessories and colors of golf bags desired by golfers.
