That old golf bag sitting in your garage or closet has likely seen better days. But before you haul it to the curb, know that it still holds value. This guide will walk you through several practical, creative, and responsible options, from turning it into cash to giving it a new purpose.
One person's dust collector is another's perfect find. Selling your old golf bag is a fantastic way to recoup some of your initial investment and fund your next equipment upgrade. With a little bit of prep work, you can make your bag appeal to a wide range of golfers looking for a deal.
First impressions matter, even for used gear. You wouldn’t show up to the first tee with muddy shoes, so don’t try to sell a dirty bag.
Where you list your bag can impact how quickly it sells and for how much. Here are your best options:
To figure out a fair price, do a bit of homework. Search for your bag's model on eBay and filter by "Sold Items" to see what people have actually paid for it. Price your bag competitively based on its condition. A like-new premium brand bag can still fetch a decent amount, while an older, more worn bag should be priced to sell quickly.
If the thought of selling feels like too much work, or if you simply want to give back to the game, donating your old bag is an excellent choice. Your old bag could be the very thing that helps a junior start their golf journey.
Many major golf retailers have trade-in programs that make upgrading your equipment seamless. While you won't get as much as a private sale, the convenience is hard to beat.
Companies like PGA TOUR Superstore, 2nd Swing, and GlobalGolf have established systems. Typically, you can get a quote for your bag online by filling out its make, model, and condition. If you accept the offer, you'll get a shipping label to send it in. The value is then given to you as a store credit that you can immediately apply to a brand-new bag or other gear.
This is a solid choice if you're already planning to buy new equipment and want to simplify the process. Just pack it up, ship it out, and enjoy the discount on your new purchase.
For those with a DIY spirit, an old golf bag can be transformed into something entirely new and functional. This is a chance to add a unique, golf-themed touch to your home or garage.
What if the bag is truly beyond repair? Zippers are broken, the fabric is splitting, and it’s just not usable for golf or anything else. Even then, try to avoid just tossing it in the dumpster, where it will end up sitting in a landfill.
Golf bags are made from a mix of materials - nylon, leather, plastic, and metal. Your local recycling center might not accept the whole bag, but you can help by deconstructing it yourself. Use a utility knife to carefully separate the fabric components from the plastic top and bottom and metal legs of the stand. The metal and plastic parts can often be recycled. It takes a little effort, but it's the most environmentally friendly way to retire a bag that has served its final round.
An old golf bag shouldn’t be seen as clutter, but as an opportunity. Whether you choose to sell it for some extra cash, donate it to an aspiring young golfer, trade it in for an upgrade, or repurpose it into something new, there are plenty of meaningful ways to give it a proper send-off.
