$130 for a brand new performance carry bag?  That's a darn good deal!

I really like it that much.

However, with the exception of a junior bag ($99) and their Swift model (which only has a two way top) ($99 on close out on TGW) the cheapest Sun Mountain carry bag is $170, not exactly cheap.  TGW does have a close out on some cart bags with the cheapest being $130 so that may be an option for the OP.  My advice would be to spend a bit more and get a Sun Mountain (or Titleist) as you will be getting a bag that will last you for a long time.

I was thinking about getting a sun mountain four 5, it looks like a really nice bag but it was just a little out of my price range.  I think this Nike bag will be pretty good quality and will last a while.  I am glad I decided to spend a little extra for a good bag this time around.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      By Mystique · Posted

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
