I currently have a Datrek 14 divider bag. I thought the dividers would protect my clubs better than a 5-7 compartment bag, and it might. I find the 14 dividers to be a pain in the butt. What kind of cart bag to you have and do you like it?

I have an Ogio Atlas cart bag that I love, despite its heavy weight. It has great organizational tools and feels like "home."

That said, I find myself leaving it in storage and using my Callaway Warbird XTT stand bag almost exclusively cause it opens up my options for unexpected nine-hole walks, is much easier to lug to the course from the car and sacrifices little, if anything, to the larger bag in the way of storage.

Heaven is 630 a.m. Saturday morning, 65 crisp degrees headed toward a comfortable 80, first tee (elevated, of course) . . . and not another worry in the world.

I have a Nike Slingshot OSS cart bag. I like it a lot, it has the 14 club divider and I like that a lot because I know exactly where every club is.

How so?....

I'm not him so I don't know his exact reason, but I would suspect it's because when you're on the course and want just stick a club back in the bag and get moving again you have to stop and take the time to find the proper hole, and get the club in there.

Personally, I like my Ogio Grom bag for both walking and riding. It's got their "Woode" pocket system, where there are individual holes for the woods, and then group pockets for irons and wedges, and a spot for the putter. It works well, keeps things organized, and there's the nice big pockets for the irons so you can just toss it in and get rolling.

My favorite cart bag was the Tommy Armour Staff bag that I got from my friend that played for them back in the day. It is a 13+ inch bag that you could put everything you owned in there. The clubs had plenty of room. A couple of years back I bought a stand bag and used it to walk with, but it was a pain on the cart so I bought a Jr. Staff sized Titleist bag. I still have the TA Tufhorse but only keep it for sentimental reasons.

I've been shopping for a bag recently as well and know exactly what he means in regards to the 14 slots. for me jaqattack got it right on the money. While I want to be able to safely organize my clubs, trying to look and fit a club into a single slot is arduous over the course of a round. To edk, if you aren't too concerned with price, I'd highly recommend the grom as well. I wanted to go with the grom but the price was just a little too steep. I ended up purchasing an older model with the same woode top system. gluck

Sun Mountain C-130. Having 14 dividers keeps my handles from jamming at the bottom. Sun Mountain dividers go all the way to the bottom(nylon). I don't like the 2007 model as if you walk with a pull cart, as I do, you can't reverse the position of clubs as easily. I prefer the 2005 model as the pockets are a bit more stream lines. Good luck.

X2 here. I have a Mizuno Aerolite II and a Ping cart bag. I always seem to keep coming back to my OGIO Grom bag. It's just too useful!

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • 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.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • 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?
