So a few weeks ago I bought a Ping Latitude V2 bag.   A solid bag, but after a few runs on the course I realized I made a mistake.   First, I use a cart (Cliqgear 3.0), and the Latitude is much more suited for someone who is carrying.  Not a ton of functionality, and limited space (not a bad thing--a solid lightweight bag for someone carrying).   My golfing buddy had a cart bag, and he just seemed to have more useful features, so the jealousy kicked in lol.  Also, clubs would stick in the Latitude bag all the time, and it would drive me crazy.  I decided to retire the bag after a short ownership period (tried to return; but store won't take it-so will sell it to a friend or keep it as my travel bag).

I feel like I found the perfect bag, and I'm in love.  I bought the Nike Tour Cart II Bag ($240) ( http://www.nike.com/nikeos/p/nikegolf/en_US/products/details?sku=bg0220

I bought black with red accents.  All my clubs have some red accents, so it matches nicely with the bag.  Things I love about the bag:

1)  14 club divider.   No more sticking clubs!   Clubs go in and out with ease.  Plus a dedicated well for the putter.

2) Lots of pockets.  Just a ton of storage, and most of the pockets have an internal pouch.

3) 2 insulated water bottle pouches.  these are great.  Bought 2 Gatorades today and put one in each pouch, and they stayed cool for for 18.

4) Small mesh pocket on outside.  This is great for the cell phone. No more digging in a pocket full of tees, balls, etc., to get your phone, smokes or other item.

5) 2 open air pockets for balls

6) tee holder near top of bag.   Small conveniences are always nice.

I just love this bag, and playing is so much more enjoyable now.  It looks great, and has amazing functionality.  If you use a cart (hand, or drive), I highly recommend this bag. It fits nicely on the Clickgear.  It really makes life easier for me on the course.

    • 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.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • 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?
