Which manufacturer do you prefer when it comes to cart bags and why? I've always been an Ogio man but a playing partner rocks a pretty nice SM C-130.

Just bought a 2014 Sun Mountain Sync cart bag.  Today was my first round using it, and so far it is great.  Much better than my other bags I have had in the past.

Nice...and great ass BTW.

I like Ogio bags. The zipper broke with in the first 10 days of my only sun mountain bag I owned. Never had problems with Ogio, and I like they way they set up their dividers.

I used to have a Sun Mountain/Titleist Lightweight Stand Bag. After a few months the legs got permanently crossed to the point where I manually let them down/out every time. After another year the strap tore where it attaches to the bag. Now I have an Ogio Grom. It has a similar problem with the legs being crosses, but I like it otherwise. If I were to buy a new one I'd probably go with a Titleist/Sun Mountain, just because I don't love any of Ogio's current offerings.

Actually Ogoios new White Charcoal and Zig Pin line of bags look pretty gangster. That's if you want to dump 3 bills into a golf bag. I have the aquatech Ogio cart I use for tournaments but the light weight 01 for Sundays and casual rds. Ogio has always been my preference.

I've only had one Ogio bag, and it was one of their cheaper ones, the Vaporlite. It was a good bag and even after a couple years of use was in good shape. Some issues with the legs but nothing major. I gave it (along with some clubs) to my brother and he still uses it. On the other hand, I've had a few different Sun Mountain bags. The first was the Titleist 14-way stand bag which I loved. Unfortunately it was stolen; I replaced it with essentially the same thing, a Sun Mountain Four 5. Other than the logos on the bag and a different strap system, it was identical to the Titleist. I very much liked that bag and still have it. Recently I decided to get a cart bag because nearly all of my rounds are riding (very few courses in my area even allow walking) and I got a Sun Mountain Tour Series Cart bag. This bag is basically a staff bag that fits well on a cart. I love the way it looks, it's fairly light weight, and has tons of storage. For the few rounds I do walk, I can always just use the Four 5 or use a push cart.

Anyways, between the two, I'd go for Sun Mountain. Like I said, the Ogio bag I had was good quality and was a good bag overall, but I've had really good experiences with my Sun Mountain bags. On top of that, there really isn't anything in the Ogio line that I really like the looks of.

Based on positive experiences, I now only purchase Ogio bags.  The Ogio Chamber and Grom XX are two of the best bags in the industry imo.  The Chamber eliminates the need for covers on any club during a round as the bag holds the clubs securely to avoid bag chatter.  Similar concept to the Bag Boy Revolver but I like the pockets better on the Chamber and it takes up less space.

I've had a couple of Ogio bags break The leg stand. The wind also seem to blow these bags over fairly easily. I've owned Sunmountain bags over the last 12 years, cart and carry, and have been very happy with all of them.

Ogio uses superior hardware and material IMO. While I lik the SM c-130 it is no match for my aquatech.

Reluctant to admit but i bought my Ogio at a thrift shop years ago.  It was mighty cheap because the legs were gone. No problem for me as i do not carry the bag on the course. Also i swapped out the big double straps and installed a simple single one, coz i only carry short distances. I also installed a new top cover which has worked out great. So am very happy with Ogio. Materials, workmanship, dividers, pockets, color, zippers, all good.

Well, not on their carry bags. Their legs tend to fall apart. I have an old (2007) SM Cart Bag that hangs around my garage. I rarely use a cart bag.

I take my near 2 year old Grom XX to the range almost every day (March - November) and the legs are like new.  I don't doubt you've had some issue but maybe it's isolated to that model or particular unit.  Downside to Ogio is they make bags ranging in price from $79 - $350 so I'm sure they sacrifice some quality in their cheaper models which probably hurts their brand.

I think SM makes great bags too, I have a C-130 and had a Titleist cart bag (made my SM) that I like but I prefer the design features of the higher end Ogio bags more, especially their Chamber bag with Silencer technology.

It's different strokes - the legs separated from one of its lighter weight bags - it would be comparable to the SM 3.5 DLX, but slightly heavier. I remember similar comments from others on forums. But it was over 5 years ago, so they may have improved the bag. It was my son's bags. Oggio legs had issues.

My issue with SM Carry Bags, about 7 years ago was only one zipper - so when you carried, it was tough to close that zipper as you walked. I voiced my concern to SM, and they heard me - the next year it was changed to double zippers - so I carry some considerable weight with SM - lol. But the goofs did not send me a new bag to say "thank you." Not feeling the bag love....

    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.
