http://www.budgetgolf.com/Datrek-Go-Lite-14-Stand-Bag.html?sku=781222330754 I'm looking to get a new bag for this year, as my Wal-Mart bag will no longer suffice... I've been looking into bags with 14-way tops, (Ogio Grom, Sun Mountain Four-5, et al)... I really don't want to pay $250 for a new bag... So I found this Datrek Go-Lite 14 bag on budgetgolf for $70... Has anyone had any experience with this bag and/or brand? Is this gonna fall apart on me in two years and I'll need a new bag all over again... I typically walk when I play, but I like the idea that it is a hybrid bag (plus I'm getting a push-cart but that is a different thread entirely)

I have a DaTrek.  It's light, compact and sturdy.  Mine only has two zippered pockets, kind of sparse, but compact.

When you buy a walking cart make sure to have your bag with you.  Many carts don't hold bags with stands very well.  Mine holds a bag with a stand well, it's a Caddytek.

I've never owned one, but the small golf store that I go to sells them and thinks very highly of them.  The owners feel they give you a lot of value for the money and they will hold up almost as long as the better name bags.

The only thing that I didn't like about the Datrek bags I looked at in the store is that the 14 way divider is only at the top, it's not a full sleeve like the more expensive bags so the clubs can rub and get entangled below the divider.

Worth a gamble for $70, I'd say.  I've gone through several stand bags that didn't hold up well.  Usually the legs give out first.  Just bought a Nike Air Sport today because I had $125 in gift cards to redeem at Sports Authority.  If you buy the bag, write a review.  I'd like to know for future reference.

Actually saw these at my local PGA Superstore today. They seem nice and worth the $70 online price (store price was $130).  Like the full-length 14-way dividers.  Double shoulder strap seemed very basic though.  Leg system is comparable to other stand bags. Decent amount/size pockets.

The nicest 14-divider bag that I saw today was the Sun Mountain Four 5.  I would never spend $230 for that bag though, knowing very well that something will break right after the warranty expires, given my experience with stand bags.

I've had my Datrek lite rider cart bag for two years. I bought black but I wish I bought Seahawks colors. ;-) It has 14 dividers that go all the way down and you can get it for $159. Several zippered compartments.

    • 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?
