Problems solved by technology

When preparing at home for a round of golf, it is difficult for a golfer to anticipate his or her needs throughout the round of golf.

In order to carry all golfing essentials, as well as items that may prove useful during a day of golf, female golfers often resort to carrying more than one bag because each bag, individually, is not adequate in meeting all needs, including being conveniently organized, carried and updated.

Current bags often do not provide female golfers with a means to organize the large variety of objects that could prove useful on a golf course.

For example, many bags on the market do not have separate compartments adapted to fit various items that women utilize while golfing, including but not limited to, items specific to the game of golf, and other accessories that prove useful on the course, but are not golf accessories.

Because current bags lack an ability to organize these diverse items, a female golfer utilizing one or more of the current golf bag options may find it difficult both to store all these items properly in a bag and / or to access items she is able to store in a bag because of the lack of organization within the interior of the bag.

Current bags often render essential items difficult to access because of how these bags are carried and where they are kept.

These bags have limited organization, are inconvenient when riding on a cart and don't allow easy access to accessories.

The organizational and accessibility issues associated with current golf bags can affect the quality of a golf game.

A golfer's inability to access needed accessories quickly can affect the pace, and therefore, the quality, of the game.

The absence of this item can cause loss of focus, embarrassment, loss of round, soiled clothes, additional costs, and lead to playing in adverse conditions, and / or with penalty.
