I just took up the game again and am buying all new equipment. For now, I can only afford one golf bag. Like every other equipment choice, I'm a little overwhelmed by the variety available and need some help.

I assume I should buy a stand bag, as I'll be riding and walking about equally. I would like to spend under $100, unless I can't get a good bag for that cheap.

All of the following bags are less than $100 and all look good to me--I really have no basis for comparison, so I thought I'd ask you guys' opinions. Thanks.

Ogio Ozone - $100
Ogio Vaporlite - $80
Callaway XTT Xtra Lite - $90
TaylorMade Corza - $80
Mizuno GTX - $90
Sun Mountain Superlight - $90

In my Grom:

Launcher 9.0 and 3W. Fujikura Hit-on-M Red X-Stiff
'09 Burners 3-AW. KBS +1" Stiff. 1x hard-stepped
A7 2H. UST ProForce Axiv Stiff 56.08 SW Stainless. G5i Putter. TP Burner LDP or Bridgestone e6+.

I like the Ogio's. You should also look at the "Ogio Grom" Hop on Ebay, there are some Ogio Groms with around 30mins to an hour left that are at about 80 bucks ATM.

If you have access to Costco, the ones in my town have been selling a decent Callaway stand bag for $90.

I actually bought this bag and I really like it.

I don't know how it could get much better than this bag, but then I don't really have a lot of experience with golf bags.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I put in the minimum bid ($85) on an Ogio Grom on Ebay, not expecting to win it...but I did and feel like I got a really good deal.

Now I just need some clubs to put in the bag!

Launcher 9.0 and 3W. Fujikura Hit-on-M Red X-Stiff

Gratz man that is a great deal you got there. Also, be careful about buying clubs off of Ebay. Just a lot of fake ones sold on there. No need to worry about bags though.

I just got the TM Corza off of the clearance rack at Sports Authority for $60. Anybody else in the Charleston SC area there are a couple more. The only problem I have is the way the slots line up. I only carry 12 and I haven't figured out what to do with the three slots running vertically on the left side.

    • Context:  I am on vacation, so I don't have access to my indoor practice room, and I won't for about a month. Day 12 (August 22).  Today's weather was not one where even I was going to be outside.  For whatever reason, I didn't do the putting drill today.  There was a drill I remembered from this site (the article was something akin to "five things you can do to improve that don't require talent") that involved having an iron along the back from stance, moving to backswing and holding, then moving to forward swing and holding.  So I did that for five minutes today. I also spent 90 minutes at the gym;  my main motivation for getting stronger is golf related (and I really should get back to Fit For Golf  specific workouts;  I'm not sure when I lost that habit, a poor choice on my part that I did).  Funny story, I spent 20 minutes on the Stairmaster today at the gym (the rest was weights and rests), a device I started with shortly after I took up golf because I read something about it in a Butch Harmon book.  I should be following FFG Mike's fitness advice though, not some memory of someone else.  
    • Day 8 8-22 Worked on backswing length and getting some speed in backswing. Recorded swings. Was happy with practice session tonight. 
    • Day 325 - 2025-08-22 Practiced for almost an hour after cleaning my cabinets to account for the new GEARS cameras and helping @OBlum for a bit. Exaggerating the same old things.
    • Yea, faster greens = shorter putting stroke. You can be more accurate.  Really, I think people who struggle with distance control struggle just as much on slow greens as fast greens. I've seen people blast putts 10-FT past the hole on 8 or 9 STIMP as much as 11-12 STIMP.  I prefer faster greens. Usually means the putting surface is better and again, shorter putting stroke.
