im still using my first golf bag (walter hagen stand bag) and im starting to realize how terrible it is. i bought that bag before i even started playing golf and didn't know what to look for in a bag. the club dividers suck and my grips get stuck on them when i try to pull a club out. the legs get stuck on the metal bars 80% of the time. the pockets are so small and i have to use the apparel pocket to put my stuff in.

name a good stand bag at a decent price. i don't want to spend over $150. i have looked at some of the ogio bags and i didn't feel too good about them.

My good friend here in Montana invented the stand bag. He's the President of Sun Mountain Sports and a real perfectionist. If you get something from them it will be high quality and they stand behind everything they sell. Not the cheapest, but quality and innovation are what they are all about.

I bought a cart and needed to get a bag to replace my nicklaus set one. I got a callaway Matrix xtt for 90 at costco. I really like it and it fits on my speed cart nicely.

If money werent and object it would have been the SCB deluxe from sun mountain, theyre incredible.

I agree with the endorsement of Sun Mountain bags. I've had a Sun Mountain cart bag for about 8 years and still love it. This weekend I actually treated myself to a Father's Day present and ordered the Sun Mountain Superlight stand bag (weighs only 3.5lbs).

Check out TGW.com. They are running some really good deals on golf bags right now. Color selection is a little limited on the reduced price bags, but if you're not picky you can get a real good stand bag for about $100.

Few of the club manufacturers make their own bags. Although they have input, most contract with other companines. Having said that I bought a Callaway bag because I like the XTT stand. I have owned Sun Mountain bags also and found them to be terrific. End of season or pre season sales usually offer large discounts. A fine bag can be had for $80.00 to $100.00. Look for one that has the features you like and weighs 5 pounds or less.

I agree that the Ping Hoofer is a great stand bag. I was checking these out, but opted for the Sun Mountain Superlight based largely on price. I'm not sure how much the "Extreme" costs, but the Hoofer Vantage I was looking at was $170. This is a little pricey for a small stand bag. Plus, Ping doesn't allow stores to offer discounts on their merchandise. I picked up the Sun Mountain online at Golfsmith. It retails for $140, but I had a 15% off coupon, so it cost me only $119.

      My Golf Swing Journey

      By Vinsk ·

      @TxGolfDude I’m curious as to how long this ‘repeatable swing’ has lasted. Not to be a Debbie Downer, but we all know how cruel the Golf Gods can be. I too have had quite a golf swing journey. Unfortunately, when it comes to the golf swing I have zero natural talent. Nothing about it feels comfortable or natural. The grip? I’ve done them all and it still feels like I’m holding a knotted oak branch. The proper take away feels awkward and weak. Arms in a proper position, asinine and no feel of any power. I’ve had times where I think I’ve developed an acceptable swing with handsome ball striking for months only to fall apart. So, how long have you had this swing working for ya?

      Strategy - Inverary Golf Club Hole 14

      By Ty_Webb ·

      How come the marked shots on the picture add up to 366 yards and the label says 325? Are you playing it at 325? In any case, that hole is narrow with a capital NARROW. If those woods are lost ball territory, then I think you hit from the tee whatever club is accurate enough that you'll be able to hit the fairway "most" of the time. That could even be a wedge potentially, especially depending on how restrictive the trees back near the tee are. I might seriously consider playing this hole as 8 iron 6 iron or so. There's more room up by the green than the fairway, so save the longer club for the second shot.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By mdl ·

      I took a big step back last season in terms of scoring. I felt I'd plateaued and committed to another round of lessons and working on meaningful swing changes. Went from a 7.9 to an 11. Back down in the 10s. Just starting to see some of the feel of improvement show up in scores. In fact a few rounds ago I had my best round, both score wise and ball striking and putting, in a while! Shot 79 with a mental breakdown finishing bogey-bogey-bogey on a tough three hole stretch where I go scared of the water blowing up my 70s round and yanked three drivers in a row after pumping it long down the middle all day and then hit two of three approaches scared-yanked away from  water as well. Feeling like I can put some 70s rounds together this season!

      Considering I only played a single round of 9 holes last year and only a handful of rounds of 9 holes in the 6 years before that. Now playing 18 hole on average ever 2 weeks this season. Definitely improved. Not by a drastic amount, but definitely improving. Hitting more pars and bogeys. Driving straighter etc. Practice helps! :D
