Ok maybe this is a stupid question but Ive been playing off and on for 20+yrs and all my golf bags seem to have a closed loop drawstring attached to them, nobody I've asked truly knows whats it for, and none of the golf bags I've bought explain as to its use, and google yields no results.... What the hell is this drawstring for??

My bag already has an umbrella slot?

That's definitely for an umbrella. There should be a smaller, likely non-drawstring loop beneath it near the base of the bag. Do you have a picture of what you've been using for the umbrella? Some bags are strange. For instance, my friend's bag has 14 club slots, an extra putter tube, and an umbrella slot. EDIT: Though it seems that I can't read, he posted the second picture while I was still writing this post. ;-)

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

i guess this is just what i assumed it was for. here's an example of how i use it (i have a titleist lightweight stand bag with the same setup as this nike bag) - tip end of the umbrella is inserted in the nylon loop at the bottom of the bag, and the handle is secured by the drawstring.

/agree. Where you have your umbrella is a putter tube and the drawstring is for the umbrella, hence the small nylon loop at the base of the bag directly under the drawstring.

It's about 8 years after this post, and I was just banging around the internet trying to answer the same question. Thanks, hanalei! You might be the only one with the courage to ask! :-D

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
