the classic skinny bag Carrying your favorite clubs couldn’t be hipper [by Jasmine Brooks]

L
ugging those clubs around the golf field can be hard work – and while we love staying fit on the course, opting for a lighter weight bag can make the day that much more enjoyable. As most women know from purchasing holiday luggage, a lightweight bag can make all the difference (especially when considering airlines with bothersome weight regulations!). With some lighter weight bags, such as the Nike Skinny Range Bag, weighing just over one pound, choosing a lightweight bag is a no-brainer. When selecting a bag, one must consider her own personal golfing game. Are you a walker? Or do you prefer the cart? How many clubs do you like to use? Choose a bag accordingly. While shopping, try it on for size: most sports bags these days are produced to be as comfortable as possible. Consider what you would look for in another handbag and apply it to the sport. How many pockets, dividers, and special features (such as insulated water bottle holders) will you want? Consider color, style, durability, and how you will keep the bag clean – as well as where you will store it. Is the carry strap comfortable? Will you travel with your bag? Remember to think not only of your game today, but of your game tomorrow – choose a bag that will grow with you as your game develops. A perfect example of the skinny bag? ProjectBrown’s slim pencil type bag. It holds all the clubs you’ll need for the perfect round – a full set minus two clubs. “We kept the best of form and function from a conventional golfbag and took the design to where we wanted it, explains ProjectBrown owner Fredrik Johansson. Many women end up with bags that are too large, too bulky, and too heavy. That’s why we love the lightweight, stylish golf bags that are showing up at golf courses across the nation. Skinny bags are dynamic, chic, comfortable, and easy to handle – and usually surprisingly sturdy for their sleek exteriors. Perfect for a no-fuss Sunday afternoon game, you can make a style statement while bringing just four or five clubs out for the day. Take your time and choose a bag that is right for you – right now, and tomorrow. <projectbrown.com> l

hybrid clubs for women the beauty of utility
ad 19 tbd
[by steven hahn]
A hybrid golf club combines THe features wood in one club.
Also
called the
“utility
of an iron and a fairway
club,” the idea behind hybrids is to make the long
approach as easy as possible for beginners and intermediate players.
By keeping a low center of
gravity on hybrids, manufacturers allow players to get their shots airborne, for more distance, without much effort.
Hybrid Tip

Hybrids have become a standard club in every LPGA pro’s golf bag. While hybrids are great for hitting distances your irons can’t reach, don’t forget that they can be used as lethal weapons for chipping around greens. A little practice and you may abandon your sand wedge for those short shots to the hole. If you don’t have at least one hybrid in your golf bag, run out and get one! What’s good for the LPGA Tour pros, is good for you.
Callaway, the industry leader in ladies’ clubs, offers two different versions of hybrids for women. The new “Big Bertha Heavenwood Hybrids” are available in four different lofts and feature a longer, lower profile head designed to promote confidence at address and produce a higher ball flight. The Heavenwood offers a great solution for women golfers who dread long iron shots. The Big Bertha Heavenwood Hybrids give you all the accuracy and control of a long iron and at the same time all the distance of a fairway wood. They’re the choice for many ladies of all ability levels who want to hit long irons well on a consistent basis. Almost all the women on the LPGA Tour carry hybrids in their bags. The “Women’s FT Hybrid” employs Callaway’s popular Fusion Technology which uses several different materials in the construction of a club head to optimize balance and weighting. The FT line of hybrids is designed for the better woman player and costs a bit more than the Heavenwood. ●
