How waterproof are waterproof golf bags?

If you live in a climate where rain falling from the sky is an all too frequent occurrence, then it might be worth you investing in a waterproof golf bag to keep your treasured items safe from the elements. Over the past decade or so waterproof golf bags have improved beyond all recognition, with huge reductions in weight combining superbly with superior styling and design. Just how waterproof are waterproof golf bags?  

The modern-day waterproof golf bag is completely impervious to rain and can withstand even the heaviest of downpours if you follow a couple of simple rules. They are constructed with highly technical waterproof fabric and also benefit from seam-sealed zippers that prevent any moisture from getting inside. It is, however, essential that you ensure that all pockets are securely fastened after every use, leave any kind of gap and the infernal rain will find its way inside. As all golf bags are open at the top, to allow you to get your clubs in and out whilst playing, it is also of utmost importance that you use the rain-hood that is supplied to stop water from entering this way. Rain-hoods are extremely easy to attach to your bag in a hurry, with a press stud fixture system that only takes seconds to complete.  

As long as you stay on top of both simple tasks, you are free to enjoy your rounds in the rain, safe in the knowledge that your equipment will remain dry.
