Seriously Rick you are one of the most thin skinned people on this site. So he feels like people are dorks for carrying them. Big deal. I would bet money you have an opinion on this site that sounds a lot like name calling here. Defending yourself and being offended to this isn't far off childish behavior either.
Huh??? I don't even know what you said or why you got involved. Let it rest and get back on topic.
Bags with 14 slots and a putter well aren't so designed to allow people to cheat the rules. The putter is more vulnerable during transport if it's left in the well, so they make the 14th regular slot to put it in there when you aren't playing. If someone chooses to use that slot for any of a number of other reasons, that's his choice. I've seen people use the putter well for an umbrella holder. Looks strange, but certainly not worthy of name calling. I wouldn't think of carrying a training aid on the course, but I've seen guys with a Medicus in that extra slot. I'm not sure if that would count as a 15th club or not. Certainly one of the heavy clubs would, as long as it otherwise conforms to the rules. To each his own... let's just play golf.
