concise and correct.

It is inevitable if kept in damp conditions. The other posters have it right.

I left my bag in the garage last winter as the rain poured down and the course remained unplayable. When I dug it out in March it was covered in mildew spots. Done mildew remover, scrubbing and bleach etc but the mildew seems to have got into the 'fabric' of the bag so it seems that I am stuck with it. Not actually that bothered as it's just a bag and not bothered if others notice my bag looks mouldy.

I am afraid that is the only place they can go, I did think about getting a tarpaulin and making some thing like a giant freezer bag type thing. posted as there must be others in the same situation.

Removing the condensation would help but not too practical

Same thing happens here all year round because of the humidity so I regularly hand wash the bag with water and a dash of washing up liquid/soap and get it dried properly and that keeps it at bay for another month or two

If you line the shed floor/walls with plywood then you don't get the condensation.

Maybe not viable but the reason you get condensation is because it is too cold in the shed if you fit a small tube heater etc this would reduce / eliminate the condensation you would also need to add ventilation.

This may be easier to do than fitting a heater you could easily fit some circular style ventilation rings the flow of air should help and you may not need the heater if this works.

Metal sheds are bad for condensation.

Metal sheds are renowned for condensation problems. Ventilation helps but not much

Cover bags in plastic with bowl of salt inside bag might help but salt likely to get soggy real fast

Simple question. Can they not be stored somewhere indoors

House is small footprint so no room to spare for 3 sets of clubs

You could try to get some big bags of silica gel & keep them in a box with the bags. You'd need two sets of bags so one lot could be drying out while the others were dehumidifying.
