Golf bags come in many sizes and designs. They also fulfill many functions. Here are three new bags – two carry bags and one cart bag – with features of distinctive personalities.

LT Golf Eazy Bag

The skinny: Golfers with arm or shoulder problems will love this cart bag. It has a unique front opening that allows the removal and replacement of clubs without lifting them straight in the air. While in the bag, the clubs are kept in place by individual soft rubber holders. The bag also has wheels for maneuvering to a golf cart or vehicle.

Cost: $159

McKennon Player’s Bag
