I Bought a 'Moon' Bag!

[Dornenglanz]

Recently I've been playing with only half a dozen or so clubs, and I've also been checking out some of the very short courses around the area, to focus on short game and approach shots.  I've not felt inclined to trundle a trolley around, and my old pencil bag has broken straps and can only be carried like a suitcase.  Yesterday, after walking with me for 18 holes, my partner said: you really should get yourself a new bag.  So we popped into the shop, and there I found a thing that is apparently called a "moon bag".

It's sort of floppy, if there are no sticks in it, and it doesn't have long legs that pull/rotate out - instead it has sort of "ears" that are a couple of inches long, so you lay the bag down and the clubs provide longitudinal structure, and the ears prop it up.  It has a very nice carrying strap, and it waterproof, and has some useful pockets and stuff.  I'm quite excited by it!  I'll see if I can take some pictures later 🙂

I wish Ping would revive that simple pencil bag. Like a basic Sunday bag with legs. No frills.

I think if Ping would make their Moonlite bag with a spine and some sort of stand, it would be awesome. I had a Moonlite for awhile, but since it doesn't have any stand mechanism, and my home course tends to stay wet even in dryest parts of the year, it collected too much mud/grass. I use a Callaway Hyperlite for partial bag rounds, which has a spine and a mini-stand, but I would love a high-quality pencil bag with full length legs.

Have you ever seen the Sunday Golf bags?  I think they make a bag similar to what you’re describing.

That looks cool and useful. My only question is does it get all wet in the grass? Because if it does then slinging it across your back would likely get the seat of pants all wet and really, who wants to have wet britches?

That's a really cool looking bag, and exactly what I have been trying to find for rounds with 6-8 clubs.

I picked up one of the new ping L8 bags they re-released.  Fantastic and easily under the 5lb listed weight.  

Almost as nice as my US made original from the mid 90s...but still a very decent bag for walking the course.

The Moon bag looks fun. I use a Sun Mountain 2.5 would not need a Moon Bag. Had I not bought that bad yes. Would work for half bag round.
