What kind of bag do you guys have? I just bought a complete new set of clubs and am looking for a new bag too. Me personally, I like cart bags. I've never been into the stand bags. I mostly ride, but if I walk I have a pull cart that I put my bag on.

I have a Maxfli stand bag. My next bag should have room for categories of clubs (driver gets its own spot, woods another, hybrids another, then maybe 2-3 categories of irons, a wedge spot, and a putter spot) and a compartment that keeps my cold water cold.

And a Cobra label on it :)

Driver:  Titleist 915D2.  4-wood:  Titleist 917F2.  Titleist TS2 19 degree hybrid.  Another hybrid in here too.  Irons 5-U, Ping G400.  Wedges negotiable (currently 54 degree Cleveland, 58 degree Titleist) Edel putter.

The only cons of this bag and the sheer size and weight. If you have much of anything in the side pockets, it can take up more than its share of space on a power cart... It would be hard to put two of these suckers side by side I think. It barely fits in my trunk. It also is pretty darn heavy and a bit akward when you have to carry it (such as going to the range, especially when the main level is full and you have to take it upstairs!). It does have an extra wide padded shoulder strap, but the balance isn't quite right on it, and it tends to want to slip off your shoulder while walking.

I also have the 07 C-130 by Sun Mountain and agree with many of your comments. It is a big sucker, but I won't ever worry about having room for outerwear, an extra club, or any pets I might wish to take out on the course. I have also had some trouble getting it into my trunk, but the fix for that is easy: buy a new car! It's all about finding ways to spend more $$! I do not think that it weighs too much, but I will not be carrying this thing on my shoulder for even 9 holes, let alone 18. Sun Mountain says that this bag is not recommended for push/pull carts, but I slapped it on my cheap/simple pull cart and it worked great.

Happy hitting!

I've also got a Sun Mountain C130, and I love it. Easily the best bag I've ever owned.

I have the Ping Discovery cart bag and also the Titleist X76 stand bag. The Disovery is very nice as a cart bag, and the external putter well is very handy. The Titleist stand bag is incredibly light and great for when i want to walk.

    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
