Hello all 

Just had my first round of the season. While out I noticed these orange splotches inside my bag and am not sure what it is, is it mold? I remember them being there last summer. The bag is still pretty new. I stored the clubs in the basement in the box the bag came in, with the rain cover on. Did I store wrong. Anyways any ideas of what this could be?

Thanks.

If it’s mold, a mold removal clearer should clean it. Just wet a paper towel with the cleaner and dab the spot. If it doesn’t come out, it may be rust or other stain.

Possibly mold... But it could have been something that was spilled on it last year that did not react well to the conditions of storage. 

If it was new bag or stored in the original box with the cover on them, with no ventilation it's is possible that some VOC's reacted with whatever was on the bag. 

Kind of like that haze that forms on the inside of windshields no matter how much you clean it. It's the outgassing of VOC's from the materials in the cars interior. 

If it IS mold, as mentioned, a good mold/mildew spray will clean it up- but I would store it in a better environment. Basements can be notoriously damp, and without airflow that's a recipe for some really icky stuff to grow. Lucky it wasn't black mold.

      Day 44 - Hit some wedges with the intention of working on my 100-yard shot, but instead worked the face a bit. Intentionally trying to hit the toe, heel, and center of the face. I definitely have a heel bias, but focusing on turning my body helped to get things in the center.

      I think for this, I need to work on my weight transfer. I can feel my self looking up early and falling back slightly. So, I am hitting them a bit fat right now. I need to stay on my left side better or get to my left side better. Kind of like old pattern stuff.  Yep, I was a bit worried about the driver since we didn't get to it. First drive was a push draw because I moved the ball back a bit because there is no range to warm up and I wanted to make sure contact was good. I hit it great, just pushed it slightly. I was like, OK, this will work. I moved the ball back to the normal position and the next 4 out of 5 holes I used a driver was just the ball at most 10 yards off my target line. 😃

      Didn’t score the best, but probably the best I’ve done implementing the swing feels on the course.  Preshot routine - make one practice swing hands down only hitting  the ground like 3 ft behind the ball. Make a 2nd practice swing where I add a bit of turn back in.  Set up and make a swing with those feels. Driver - A stripe show. Just laser beams at my target. Like under 10 yards of curve. Irons - pretty solid. Contact was flush. Just slight pull draws. Just need a bit of face control. It’s close. I had an 8 iron that left the club, didn’t leave the flagstick. The ball probably moved 1 yard in the air. I came up like 4 yards short.  Distance wedges - Needs work.  Short Game - needs work from different lies. Putting - Made almost everything inside of 10 ft.  Going forwards, still going to work on the swing. Backswing length and arms down stuff. I need to work on my distance wedges a lot.
