Never had it happen to me, but I am pretty sure I would have cried if it had. Well I guess if anything it gives you an excuse to buy new stuff

Going to dicks sporting goods this weekend to get a new one [hopefully they still have the Nike Sasquatch bags.. Saw a guy the same day with one. Looked soo sweet.]

I know that prank but I was playing alone yesterday. Usually walk when I am alone. But it was like a 100 degrees yesterday. You may see many pros in their swimwear during the PGA championships here next week.

Well, I've never seen or had any club break after falling out of the back, but my dad and I were playing a few months ago and when we got to the green we noticed his bad was missing, so he had to go back and look for it.

a buddy of mine once finished his round of golf (riding not walking), sat his bag on the post stand outside the clubhouse, went to the restroom and got a soda then right to his SUV and then drove all the way home (the course he played that day was about 30minutes from his house, (I wasn't with him either) he didn't realize he left the clubs there until the next day when he had another tee time set up for the both of us ......thankfully he called the course where he left them and they still had them, someone brought them in..(he has nice clubs too, King Cobra Driver, and Callaway Big Bertha Irons)

since then he always drives his clubs back to his truck 1st then drops off the cart, and also places his keys inside in bag (where previously he left them in his pocket) so this can't happen again.....

My bag fell off the cart a few weeks ago, as the cart was going up a hill. Then the cart almost died getting to the top of the hill. No clubs were harmed in this process. The cart eventually died on the next fairway. We had called the starter 30 minutes before about the dying cart, and he hadn't yet gotten us a replacement.

Then I sank my first ever birdie putt after walking to the top of that hill, right after the clubs fell off. So far, I'm 1-for-1 on birdie putts following a falling-off-the-cart-of-the-bag.

It has something to do with the way they drill the shaft through the bottom of the clubface - it puts more strain on the shaft, causing it to break more easily.

If yours is a fairly recent driver, give Callaway a call - they might replace it for you free. I've had the bag fall off the back of the cart - always as a prank, though.

Bag fell off the cart once when my friend loaded both bags on the cart while I went to buy a Gatorade before the round. Luckily he forgot to strap his in too and his bag broke my bag's fall. =)

BTW: You don't have to buy an all new driver. Most good golf stores offer club repair and can reshaft it for less than half of what a new driver would cost.

I have an Ogio bag with a little rubber strap that prevents this from happing. It loops over the cart bag bar on the cart. It also keeps the bag from twisting.

I have been to a few courses that the strap locks are so worn that they barley hold the bags on.

    • I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property. 
    • Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
    • I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.
