ok i know i started a thread last week asking about the best stand bag. i actually went out and bought the titleist x76 bag and walked a round with it yesterday. it was miserable. the bag was pretty heavy with all of my stuff in it and the straps really hurt my shoulders. the legs were terrible and my 2 year old $70 walter hagen bag had better legs before they broke. the pockets were nice but the dividers sucked on the titleist bag as well. there were only like 3 full length dividers so my club grips would get stuck constantly. overall i was displeased with the bag that i paid $140 for so i returned it. i also realized i don't really want to walk a round with my bag strapped to my back. i would rather ride in a cart or use a pull cart if i walk.

thus, please give suggestions for the best cart bag for the money. im sure most will have plenty of pockets and good dividers. so im looking for durability, appearance and cost. i would like to spend less than the $140 i got back for the titleist bag but i could possible spend 10-20 bucks more.

i did see a bag at dicks sporting goods that i liked. it was the titleist sc65 which i think is an older model that seemed to not look as big as a regular cart bag but it had everything i wanted and somewhat light. anyone have any experience with this bag?

I think the Sun Mountain C-130 is the ultimate cart bag. It's freaking huge and has pockets for everything imaginable. Also has 14 way full length club dividers. May be a bit out of your price range, Golfsmith retails this bag for $170. Golfsmith is always running specials and storewide discounts, so check their website.

alright i bought that titleist sc65 for $135 at dicks. it seems to have everything i want but we'll see tomorrow when i put it on a cart and see how it fairs.

the only problem now is that i left some stuff in the bag that i returned (the titleist x76). i left my tee pass as well as a new bag of tees. hopefully no one buys that bag and i can go get my stuff tomorrow.

good luck with the cart bag...never had one. i picked up the cleveland stand bag (nationwide tour model) for $180 and I love it. I walk almost everyday so I guess it was worth it. actually got it for christmas so i didnt really pay for it.

I have the Ogio, uhhh, Atlas. I wasn't sure because they've changed the style a little bit. Mine is from last year and has a neoprene three-ball pouch and is grey/black. It's very nice.

c130 looks like the best to me.. I think the best cart combo would be the Sun Mountain speed cart, with the SCB deluxe bag.

I really like my callaway bag, it came with these really comfy izzo straps, that i use to carry to and from the car.

I really like my Burton CXS hybrid bag as a cart bag, less so as a stand bag. It works great on my push cart and on a riding cart (legs lock closed and carry strap hides away in it's own pocket). It's balance is a little off for me as a carry bag though.

I just got the Taylormade Mag 71 cart bag last week. I love it so far. There are no zippers. it has magnets like the driver covers. It has individual club dividers. It is the best made bag that I found. Quality!!! It was a little pricey at the golf stores ($219) but I found it brand new on Ebay for $160

I think those brands are excluded at the request of the brands. I don't think the store decides to exclude these brands. In any event, I had previously recommended a Sun Mountain cart bag and Sun Mountain is NOT on the list of excluded brands.

I think people have a reservation about sun mountain because they went some well known PGA tour name emblazoned on their bag

The question is who is the best, the answer is sun mountain.

Exact same bag. Great bag, lots of storage...love the zipperless ball pocket. I got it off of Ebay for around $100.

The new Cleveland V-14 cart bag is really nice. It has your typical 14 slots, external putter well, and tons of pocket space. Also has 2 cooler pouches!! Looks really nice!

The funny thing is that I use a cart bag when I play. My shoulders are in bad shape from my football days, so I use a speed cart. But a few months back I bought a Sun Mountain MPB bag just to have the stand for when I go to the range.

Now I am really enjoying the 14 divider system, compared my 6 way divided cart bag. After reading this thread and looking at everyone's suggestions, I just ordered the Sun Mountain C-130. I hope it is as good as everyone says.

I have a Walter Hagen Eleven bag, molded top with built in club clips to keep them from banging around. I like it & it fits my needs perfectly. Now I just need to upgrade my pull cart, I chintzed out in the spring & just bought a $20 special that be honest works but it doesn't work well. The bag tends to rotate & the straps can't be cinched up tight enough to hold the bag well.

Will get one of the bagboy models since I never carry my clubs.

      39/39/78 for an 8.7 differential. Ball striking was good. Putting and chipping was off just enough to prevent a very good score.

      Worst thing on Sunday was that NBC and Peacock wouldn't let me FF through the commercials on my DVR recording. Very boring when a guy has a huge lead on the final round and everyone else is playing for 2nd place. At least it was USA 1-2-3 in the end.

      Sheep Ranch (Bandon, Oregon)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      First day of a trip to Bandon Dunes. We played Sheep Ranch today. A Coore/Crenshaw designed course. A par 34 on the front and 38 on the back. With 8 holes with either a green, tee box, or the hole runs along the edge of the bluffs at the pacific. It has amazing vistas. With wide fairways and intermixed gorse bushes. The defense of the course are its large, undulated greens and the daily winds from the north. Many times you need to take 3-4 clubs more, if you even barely cross the wind, your ball can be taken offline or come up half to a full club short. A fantastic layout.    here are some photos.

      At Sheep’s Ranch, Bandon Dunes. Shot an 84. That wind was nasty going from like hole 7 forward. It was like a 3-4 club wind if in the face. Greens are tricky with the natural grass.

      Yes. The full swing is not that different, and speed is important with all of them. You don't see Tour players hitting their driver 310 and then hitting their 7I 160. Of course, but they're nothing like those for the full swing.
