I play Taylor Made clubs woods and irons, is it odd to but a Callaway bag? Do most people buy bags that represent the clbs they play or do you even care? I'm in the market for a new bag and my local Costco just received new Callaway cart bags and they are really inexpensive. I was looking for Taylor Made bags, but they don't have anything I like for my price range. I also like an Ogio bag, but this Callaway looks really nice for $100! Looking for opnions

I'm sure some people prefer to have everything match, I think you should pick the gear that works best for you.  I didn't like the Callaway bags as much as Nikes stand bag and Titleists cart bag, so I went with what I liked even though most of my clubs are Callaway.

Theres absolutely no reason why you shouldnt buy a Callaway bag if you like it.  A lot of people like to have everything match, but honestly, who cares?

Its not as if you are being paid to have a certain company's logos on your stuff.

Whats in my :sunmountain: C-130 cart bag?

I have trouble carrying a branded bag or wearing a branded hat, if I don't have at least one club from that manufacturer I wouldn't do it. I know it is silly. I use sun mountain bags so I can ho any club.

Sun Mountain and OGIO if you're looking for neutral bag...Both are extremely great, and you can find them for $100 on ebay and other places. That's my suggestion.

Normally I feel the same way, but really does it matter...maybe I can play Callaway balls! In Canada everything is a little more expensive, so finding inexpensive bags that can last longer then 1 season is hard. Not sure yet...

While I'm sure there are some that would disagree I personally couldn't care less if my stuff matches or not...

I have a Taylor Made cap and towel but do not game their clubs (hat was a present and the towel was the cheapest one in the pro shop when I forgot to bring one!)

I also have a Pro V1 cap but generally play Bridgestone or Wilson Staff balls, bought because it was 1/2 price, red and flexi fit...

Even so far as my clubs go it doesn't worry me, I play a 51 degree vokey and a 56 degree cleveland.. both were bought on sale when I wanted a change....

If the bag is cheap and you like it why not!

OK, so I bit the bullet and bought it. I figure I'd take it home, put my clubs in it, try on my new push cart and if everything "fits" well I'll keep it. Costco has a 30 day refund policy.

Here it is. It's really a nice bag, especially for the money. I guess I will look at it as a golf bag made by Callaway, not a club maker's golf bag. A small nuance, but I can live with it.

I know a lot of people who have Ping bags even though they dont own a single Ping club. Apparently Ping bags are THAT good.

Most of my clubs are Callaway, but I also carry a TM Raylor, a Ping putter and three Cleveland wedges.

My bag is SunMountain, and I would probably replace it with Sun Mountain unless Callaway sponsors me. (Any Callaway reps out there.... make me an offer...)

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
