The Golfing Caddy®

Occasionally, I have a chance to try out and review cool golf accessories.  The Golfing Caddy® definitely fits into the “cool” category.  I can’t put it any better than the folks over at BVT Products.  They describe The Golfing Caddy as follows: “The Golfing Caddy® is a multi-compartment tote and beverage holder that easily clips to the golf bag and has a handy place for everything a golfer would need to carry.”

The Golfing Caddy was designed for convenience.  It gives a player an easy way to store the things that need to be taken on the course or to the range, but that don’t normally stay with the golf bag.  Keys, wallet, cell phone, and water bottle.  There’s room for it all.

Let’s take a look at what The Golfing Caddy offers.

Features

The Golfing Caddy boasts the following features (the letters correspond to the image to the right):

• A – Room for up to a 24 oz water bottle with insulated neoprene sleeve, to help keep the bottle cool.
• B – Deep front pocket with velcro closure to keep valuables secure while on the course or at the range.
• C – Sturdy clip to attach The Golfing Caddy to your bag.  It also holds the carrying strap which allows you to easily take it wherever you need.
• D – Pleated pouch with plenty of room to store a phone, glasses, balls, tees, and so on.
• E – Durable clip (similar to a climbing carabiner).  Perfect for holding car keys.
• F – 12″ x 12″ microfiber towel.

The Good

• I found The Golfing Caddy to be very convenient to hold my keys, wallet, and water bottle.  Even though I normally refuse to take my cell phone onto the course, I took it with me to see how The Golfing Caddy would handle it all.  It was no problem.
• The neoprene sleeve was nice to help keep my bottled water cool.  It was hard to tell how effective it really is because the weather hasn’t been warm for a while, but the bottle stayed cool until I drank it all (about 6 holes).
• The clip for keys is very convenient for me.  I actually went so far as to get a similar clip for my key ring several years back so that I could just clip it to my bag when I’m practicing.  This is a feature I’ll definitely use.
• Having the stuff that I’m going to take with me in one place after I drop my clubs in the trunk is quite nice and saves the annoyance of digging around my bag to retrieve my wallet, keys, etc.
• The 12″ x 12″ towel is very handy to wipe off golf balls and club faces.  I recently reviewed FiZ Golf club/ball cleaner, and it was very nice to clip that to The Golfing Caddy and make use of the towel for my cleaning needs.  The two products go together well.
• The Golfing Caddy seems quite well made and durable.

The Bad

• The water bottle holder is a central feature of the design (in fact, it could really be considered a water bottle holder with lots of other cool features), but if you use a golf cart, it’s actually less convenient because your water bottle is back on your bag, when there are usually more convenient cup holders in most carts.  However, there are two considerations:  I didn’t try this during my evaluation, but it occurs to me that it might be possible to clip The Golfing Caddy somewhere in the passenger area of the cart, nullifying that issue.  The second consideration is that The Golfing Caddy can certainly accommodate a slightly bigger bottle than most cart cup holders.

Conclusion

The Golfing Caddy is quite a useful accessory.  With the ability to store wallet, keys, cell phone, water bottle (especially when not riding in a cart), and more, it gives players the convenience of storing all the the stuff that doesn’t stay with the clubs.  No more searching around at the end of the round to find everything.  No more rummaging around in the bag for money when the refreshment cart comes around.

I found The Golfing Caddy to be quite a helpful accessory and I recommend it.  It retails for $19.99.  For more information, visit The Golfing Caddy website.
