I prefer carrying my clubs, and I like to carry them in a Ping stand bag. Some bags fit into pull carts and power carts better than others.

In the Bag: TaylorMade R11 TP - TaylorMade R7 TP TS - Cleveland Halo - TM TP 2009 3-PW - Vokey SM 52 - Vokey SM 60 - Rife Barbados CS - ProV1x

Stand bags are way more manageable, and most manufacturers have designed hole setups that really spread out the clubs...

Cart bags, unless you're ALWAYS on a cart, are awful to manage if you ever want to walk.

A cart bag really only offers larger pockets and a greater likelihood that you'll get a 14-way divider (many stand bags have 14-way dividers too, though). If you use it on a cart, nothing lost. If you're ever going to have to carry it, the task of carrying will be far more annoying.

Conversely, a stand bag loses nothing when placed on a cart and many have sizable pockets as well. And when you carry it, well, it's designed for that.

IMO, a stand bag can be used perfectly in both scenarios, but a cart bag is only good for one of them. I usually carry (or pull, depending on how my shoulders/neck feel), and only occasionally ride. I went with a carry bag, and I would every single time.

Mid staff bag, works great with a caddy, on a cart, or push cart



Stand bag, does everything, but it's harder to get clubs in and out



Range bag, good for trips to the range, lol just throw a few clubs in and off you go to the range

I was going to ask something similar. I have had stand bags in the past, but my wife saw a really nice Staff bag for cheap. She wants to get it for me but i'm not sure. Are these too bulky for the back of the cart? Will I look like a tool using a big staff bag, because well, i'm not very good lol. I just figure most guys who have the leather staff bags are either good or really spend a lot of money on golf. I'm leaning toward telling her to get it and i'll try it out, but just wanted some opinions.

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      What is this committee I keep hearing about? We’re a small league playing at a county course. And these are temporary issues that may be gone in a day or two. In any case, I wish more people agreed with me. It seems that trying to convince golfers to modernize rules is like trying to change the Bible.

      Water in Bunker

      By billchao ·

      We’re discussing rules. By definition, it’s going to involve semantics. You hit your ball in a bunker, which under normal conditions, you’d have a bunker lie. If you declare your ball unplayable, you would be allowed to drop outside of the bunker for two penalty strokes. You happened to hit it under water in said bunker due to ACC. Because of the ACC, your relief option outside of the bunker could be taken for only one penalty shot. Again, the stroke is added because you would have changed your lie from from a bunker to the general area. And I would make the same argument, but again, that’s on the committee for not doing their job and marking it as GUR and not at the discretion of each individual golfer. At this point all I can gather is that you don’t like the particular situation you found yourself in, but shit happens. We’ve all been there one way or another.

      Here's the thing, the Rules are fine here, the problem is at the local Committee (or lack of Committee) level.  The basic Rule is appropriate for most Temporary Water in a Bunker situations.  Indeed, it offers a bit more flexibility than the Rule for Temporary Water in the General Area offers, in that you're allowed to find the Point of Maximum Available Relief, instead of requiring Complete Relief.  And for more unusual circumstances, the Rules offer an alternative in for form of a Model Local Rule.  They don't want every single player to have the authority to claim "I have no possible relief in this bunker, I'll just take it out for free", they want that authority to be at a higher level. I speak only for myself, but the more I learn about the Rules, the more I respect the way they've been put together, and the consistency of concepts throughout.  Its easy to single out one rule in isolation that you dislike, but when you see how the rules fit together as a whole things often make a lot more sense.  No doubt, Rules should be reviewed and improved, really smart people are continually doing just that, looking for cracks and loopholes.  But the changes that actually happen are really tested to see if they actually improve things, change for the sake of change just isn't going to happen.

      Are you on the app or on the website? On the website, if you go to the performance tab, you can navigate with the side menu to see more detailed information. On those pages, you can switch between strokes gained and standard stats. You can see things like strokes gained from 50-100, 100-150, etc., strokes gained on lengths of putts. You can switch to standard information and see make rates on putt lengths. There's a good amount there to shape your practice. I don't use the app for this, so I can't help with that.
