Golf bag packing top tip!

Many modern equipment manufacturers now give the option to detach the heads many of the drivers, woods and hybrids. Why not remove these and store them away safely in another pocket in your golf bag. Not only does this help to protect the heads and shafts of your prized possessions, but it gives more room at the top of your golf bag, for some spare golf shoes, towels, and whatever else you might need.
