is there a market for these? I really want a sun mountain four five, but I can't justify it if I have to throw away my extras that work perfectly fine.

Take them, along with any old clubs you might have, to the nearest First Tee chapter. I promise that the satisfaction you get will be worth far more than the couple of dollars you'd get from selling them used.

Just bought a Four 5 yesterday and I love it.

That is the best idea I have heard in a long time. I plan on looking this up and taking in an old Ping hoofer and some old clubs i no longer need.

I donate all my used clubs and bags to youth golf thru either First Tee or what ever program is in need. When i was n the pawn business I use to clean out golf bags when they came out for sale. I would take all the golf balls,gloves and misc items and donate them too.

i have one very nice cart bag that really probably has no use at first tee.  i hope that doesn't sound rude, it's just nice and bulky and i can't see any kids wanting it.

the walking bag is a different story.  i've tried CL with no results, but maybe i'll put it on ebay.  it's just going to be a bia to ship.  i was hoping maybe someone would know a place that accepts them as trade ins or something.  a pawn shop might be a good option.

either way i pulled the trigger on the four five.  closeout sale and it was only $120 so i didn't really feel like i had a choice, and my other bags don't completely suit my needs :)

I love this idea, and have never thought about it before.

I have a couple bags, drivers, hybrids, and a bunch of wedges that aren't worth anything in trade in value, and I'm never going to use them again.  They're just sitting in a spare bag collecting dust, this would be perfect for them.  They're not old or crappy looking, I just have no need for them.  I'll have to call them and see where I can drop them off.

    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.

    • 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.
