This guide will walk you through every a simple set of custom-fit golf bag tubes is the answer, and you can make yourself a full set in under an hour for just a few dollars. This guide will walk you through everything, step-by-step, from picking the right materials to cutting and installing tubes that protect your expensive clubs and streamline your entire setup.
Before we start cutting pipes, let's talk about why this is such a worthwhile project. So many golfers I coach just accept the daily annoyance of tangled clubs, not realizing it's causing more than just frustration. When your clubs are rattling around without protection, you're looking at real, long-term damage.
In short, this isn't just about an organized bag. It's about protecting a significant investment, making the game more enjoyable, and removing a small but persistent mental distraction.
A trip to your local hardware store is all you need. The list is short and inexpensive, and you likely have some of these tools already.
Alright, let's get building. This part is simple as long as you take your time, especially with the measurements. Remember the old saying: measure twice, cut once.
Open your bag up and take everything out. Use your tape measure to find the inside depth. Place the end of the tape on the bottom of the bag, right in the center, and run it up to the very top edge of the bag's cuff - the padded divider at the top.
Get a precise measurement. Most stand bags are around 35-37 inches deep. Don't guess here. Write that number down.
You don't want your tubes to be the exact depth of the bag. If they are, your clubs might sit too high, and the tubes themselves might get jammed or poke up. A good rule of thumb is to make your tubes about one inch shorter than the interior depth you just measured.
So, if your bag measured 36 inches deep, you will cut your tubes to a length of 35 inches. This gives you a little clearance at the bottom and ensures the top of the tube sits flush or just below the bag's main-cuff.
Lay your 10-foot length of PVC on a stable surface. Using your tape measure and permanent marker, measure out your desired tube length (e.g., 35 inches) and make a clear, bold mark all the way around the pipe. This will be your guide for a straight cut.
Repeat this process for every tube you plan to make. It's often easier to mark all your cuts at once before you start.
Time to make the cuts. Safety first - if you're using a saw, wear safety glasses.
Cut all the pieces you marked in the previous step.
Do not skip this step! After cutting, the edges of the PVC will be sharp and have little plastic burs. These could easily scratch your graphite shafts or scrape your grips. Wrap your sandpaper around the end of the tube and sand both the inside and outside edge until it's completely smooth to the touch. Run your finger over it to check, there should be no rough spots at all. Do this for both ends of every tube you cut.
This is the final touch that takes your DIY project from good to great. Take your electrical or felt tape and wrap it neatly around the top rim of one of the tubes. Let about half the tape's width cover the outside of the tube, and fold the other half down over the rim and into the inside. This creates a soft, protective lip where your grip will make contact, and it gives the tubes a much more finished appearance. a few times so I wanted to refrace for clarity
With a full set of smooth, finished tubes ready to go, the final step is to put them in your bag. Simply slide them into the available slots. They should drop in easily and rest on the bottom of the bag.
Now you can organize your clubs logically. A classic setup that works for most bags is:
Try pulling a few clubs out and putting them back. You’ll feel the difference immediately - a smooth, clean slide with no snagging. It's an incredibly satisfying upgrade.
