Why We Want to Design a Golf Bag for Kids: Purpose, Play, and Practicality
At Drake and Birdie Golf Co, our mission has always been simple: make golf more fun, approachable, and inspiring for kids. We started with the perfect toddler putter, but we quickly realized that one piece of gear can only do so much when the rest of the golf experience isn’t built for little hands, smaller frames, and big imaginations.
That’s why we’re designing a golf bag just for kids. Not a scaled-down version of a grown-up bag. A real, functional, kid-focused bag that makes it easier (and more exciting) for children to play. A basic modern design, simple pocket, simple strap, and some space for clubs. Kids are not worrying about five plus pockets, dual carry straps, and a spot for their range finder. We are working to deliver a bag that meets their needs at a price parents will love.
1. Because Kids Deserve Gear That Fits
Most golf bags, even "junior" ones, are too heavy, bulky, or awkward for toddlers and young kids. We’ve seen too many little players struggling with adult gear that was never meant for them. Our goal is to create a bag that matches their size and strength, so they feel confident and independent on the course or backyard green.
2. To Encourage Ownership and Confidence
When kids have their own bag, with a few clubs, a favorite ball marker, or even a stuffed animal clipped on, it gives them a sense of pride and responsibility. They’re not just tagging along; they’re golfers. That mindset matters. Confidence grows when they feel like part of the game, not just observers.
3. Because Design Can Spark Joy and Play
We’re not just making this bag functional, we’re making it fun. Bright colors. Kid-friendly graphics. Easy-to-use pockets. Our bag will reflect the playful spirit of children while still looking and feeling like a “real” golf bag. That balance of imagination and authenticity is what sets it apart.
4. To Support Families Introducing Golf Early
We hear it from parents all the time: “I want to introduce my kids to golf early, but it’s hard to find gear that works for them.” That frustration inspired this next step. Our golf bag is part of a larger vision, one where families can enjoy golf together from the toddler years on. No pressure. Just playful learning and memories.
5. Because the Game Should Be More Inclusive
Golf has traditionally been a sport of rules, etiquette, and gear designed for adults. But the future of golf depends on how well we welcome the next generation. A kid-friendly golf bag is a small but powerful step toward making the game more inclusive, accessible, and inviting from the very first swing.
Final Thoughts
This bag isn’t just a product, it’s a symbol of what we believe golf can be: joyful, simple, and family-friendly. We’re excited to share more soon, and as always, we’re designing with love, purpose, and your kids in mind.
Stay tuned for design updates, pre-orders, and more ways to grow the game from the ground up.
