REVEALED: There were 29 DIFFERENT GOLF BAG SETUPS at The Open!
Sports Marketing Surveys reveals some fascinating insight into the bag setups of the best players in the world at The Open...
The beauty of golf lies in the fact we all swing it and approach the game very differently to one another. We are also unique in the sense we do not always pick and choose the same clubs for our bags.
That was very evident at the 149th Open Championship at Royal St George's last week, as Sports Marketing Surveys revealed there were 29 different bag setups of the 156 players teeing it up.
