Golf Bag - Removing The Dividers

[TropicalSandTrap]

I picked up a ping traverse cart bag. I really like it, but it has the 14 individual club slot dividers. 

Has anybody tried to remove the club slot dividers without ruinging the bag?  I just want to remove two of the subdividers from the bottom area, not remove them all  wondering how I can do that without causing damage  

I like to keep 4 wedges and a putter together and usually take them all up to the green/approach area when I am pitching or chipping (pelz 4x3 method). I would like just one large slot at the bottom instead of three slots where I have to separate the clubs and drop them in. 

 

Thanks for the tips.

@TropicalSandTrap I have the Traverse bag, but have not tried to remove any of the dividers.  I’ve not had an issue pulling multiple clubs from the bag at the same time.  My thought based on your question... probably not worth the risk of damaging the bag when it only takes a 2-3 seconds to grab every club you’d want.

I also have the Hoofer Vantage (carry bag), and it doesn’t have all the dividers.  Maybe switching to a bag like that could help resolve your concern.

It’s not a huge deal, but if I could just get one of he dividers out so I can fit all four wedges In one slot it would be perfect.  I know it only takes a couple of seconds to get them in and out with the dividers, but if I could get one of the dividers out the bag would be perfect  

bag was a gift with a logo of a course I really like on it so I am going to stick with it.

I have a bag with 14 slots, and I didn't used to like it, but lately, it's come in pretty handy, because if every slot has a club, then I know I have exactly 14 clubs, plus, if every slot is full and I have a club in my hand I know my playing partner put one of his clubs in my bag, and, if I have an empty slot and no club in my hand, I know I left a club somewhere.

I'm not sure how that bag is made, but you might have to saw through some plastic. Won't look pretty but it should be doable.

Yeah this. I'm sure the hard part is at the top, use a Dremel or something like that to get thru the top and then rest should be thin plastic that you could run a razor thru. 

If not, there's always this option....

I have a dremel, but I have never really been very handy and have never actually used it. 

 

My concern is hat I will cut through it and the fabric will start fraying and just unravel and it will really mess up the bag.

I suspect that that's exactly what would happen.

Probably.
