Hi all,

Since I love my Mizuno irons and wedges, will soon be getting their hybrids, and when improved, will definately get their MP irons, I want to get rid of my Cobra cart bag and get a Mizuno.  I only use a cart bag when riding. And want all the storage. I love and use my Nike Sasquatch when walking. Anyway.....  I am not very thrilled with their Rider cart bag, It is more  blue than white and boring. I do however love their smaller staff/tour bag. Similar to the Titleist mid sized staff bag. I really love the white with  the Mizuno bright blue accents. And it is only 2lbs heaver than many cart bags, Some even weigh the same. I am still trying to break 100, will soon though, and play for fun. Will I be looked down upon, be considered pretentious, considered a snob? I am not a braggart, am mellow, and do not even celebrate on the course. I just love that bag. How do you guys feel about others using staff bags?

Here is a thread that may help...

http://thesandtrap.com/forum/thread/25184/are-staff-bags-pretentious

Here's what I said...

Quote:

I have a Titleist 9" Staff Cart bag from 10 years ago that I have been using and it has seen it's day. I just retired it and while I was waiting for a new stand bag (Titleist), I pulled out the 10.5 Tour bag from the 90s. This thing is big. I played with it the other day and could barely get it strapped to the cart. I played with my buddy and 2 strangers and one of them made a comment like the last time he saw a bag that big was on Caddyshack. Well after playing from the tips and finishing the front bogey-bogey for 38, there were no more comments (scraped it on the back for a 78). But to be fair, it is one big ass bag from the old Tommy Armour Tour (same bag that Freddie and Davis used) that can hold the kitchen sink. My friend that played the tour had it embroidered for me back in 1992 and the thing still looks new and all the leather has held up really well. But again, it is one big  bag. If I am riding, I like a big bag, after all I am not carrying it. But if you don't have any game or have thin skin then you should go with the smaller less obnoxious size cart staff bag.

I just received my new stand bag and love it for practicing.  It does OK on the cart so occasionally I will pull out the big bag when I am in the mood.

I just remembered that two holes after the Caddyshack comment, I hit the flag from 135 with a 9 iron and made the 5 footer for birdie. Priceless.

Don't let others dictate what you should or shouldn't buy.  If a staff bag ticks all the boxes for you for practical reasons, if you like the way they look, by all means get one !

Pretentious ?  Snob ?  I don't see why !  It's just a golf bag !

This^^^^ Golf is your hobby, if a staff bag works for you then go for it and the hell with anybody that "doesn't approve."

      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

      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?
