Ok maybe this is a stupid question but Ive been playing off and on for 20+yrs and all my golf bags seem to have a closed loop drawstring attached to them, nobody I've asked truly knows whats it for, and none of the golf bags I've bought explain as to its use, and google yields no results.... What the hell is this drawstring for??

My bag already has an umbrella slot?

That's definitely for an umbrella. There should be a smaller, likely non-drawstring loop beneath it near the base of the bag. Do you have a picture of what you've been using for the umbrella? Some bags are strange. For instance, my friend's bag has 14 club slots, an extra putter tube, and an umbrella slot. EDIT: Though it seems that I can't read, he posted the second picture while I was still writing this post. ;-)

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

i guess this is just what i assumed it was for. here's an example of how i use it (i have a titleist lightweight stand bag with the same setup as this nike bag) - tip end of the umbrella is inserted in the nylon loop at the bottom of the bag, and the handle is secured by the drawstring.

/agree. Where you have your umbrella is a putter tube and the drawstring is for the umbrella, hence the small nylon loop at the base of the bag directly under the drawstring.

It's about 8 years after this post, and I was just banging around the internet trying to answer the same question. Thanks, hanalei! You might be the only one with the courage to ask! :-D

      Day 77 - 2024-12-16 Had a lesson and then a good GEARS lesson, so I hit some balls after that. Turn, pick up. Left wrist stays cupped.

      Day 334 - More putting, this time focused on hitting the sweet spot (with a more consistent setup).

      Day 227 (16 Day 24)  - Temps back in the 60’s - but a full day of other obligations meant limited time, so I worked on setup, tempo and  hitting shorter punch shots focused on making solid contact with the hard foam balls.   This drill really helps to dial in ball first contact as you’re not worried about a specific distance or pin - just making contact.  Of course as I can hit from varied lies, not two shot setups are exactly perfect replicating being on the course.

      Low Duck Hook Driver!

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      As many have already said. Without seeing your swing it's really hard to know for sure what's causing your issue. I will say I had similar results way back in the early 2000's. My irons were okay, but my driver kept producing ugly, worm-burning duck hooks that were impossible to play.  The golf coach I had at the time (honestly not as good as my current coach, but not terrible). Helped me with the simplest solution possible. At the time I was coming way off the ball to the trail side during my back swing and then going way past the ball on my swing. My head was moving like 18 inches. It was ugly. (Both my head and my movement. 😜) When I saw it on video I was shocked how bad it looked. It was relatively easy to tame though after I saw it.  The point of that is not that you should think that's the same problem you are having. The point of that is that you should get some quality video of your swing.  Let us know how you get on. Good luck.
