I really like the looks of the Ogio Grom, Nike Performance Hybrid, and Sun Mountain four-5, but they seem way out of my budget. What good options are there for <$100?

I have the Sun Mountain Four 5 and love it. Before that I had a Titleist 14 way bag which is essentially a Four 5 with the Titleist logo. It was also a great bag. I've heard good things about the Ogio as well although I don't like the look of it myself.

I think your best bet may be to either expand the budget for the Four 5 or look for a good used one on eBay.

Thanks.

I didn't include the Titleist 14 way because I presumed it was basically the same as the SM.

I have the Grom XX and it has been a great bag. Ogio has really stepped up the stand system from the ones in years past.

You will be hard pressed to find a stand bag with full 14 way dividers and similar quality to those you listed under $100.  My suggestion would be to check eBay for used or older versions of these bags that are selling at a discount.  Might be able to find last years version of the Grom or Four-5 for around $125.

I've noticed some nice cart bags locally on CL. Would it be easier to use a cart bag with a bag cart instead of a stand bag?

And before you say it...no, I'm not that old that I can't carry a bag

Cart bags, don't have legs like a stand bag so they aren't very stable on grass, typically have to lay them down.  Cart bag straps aren't as comfortable for carrying either, as they usually just have a single strap to sling over your shoulder.  If you plan to carry, don't mind laying your bag down on the grass and find the straps acceptable to carry the bag loaded with gear then give it a shot but I don't recommend it.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      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.

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
