I use a Callaway Weekend Org 14 bag. Great bag. It has alot of pockets to hold almost everything I can think of bringing out with me... including a 6 pack in the cooler pocket!!!

I have a stand bag but it was just too small.

I have the Sun Mountain MPB bag, wonderful bag, it is a little heavier then your regular carry bag, but it has more features and the criss-crossing shoulder straps. Also has 14 full lenth dividers so I can keep my clubs from clanking around too badly. I usually use a push cart, and this fits in it really well. Gives me the option to carry if I get to the course and have forgotten the cart at home.

I just bought the Sun Mountain MPB and like it for a stand bag.

It does not fit on my clicgear push cart as good as I like.

The foot that extends the legs gets in the way when I set it on
the push cart.

If anyone knows a solution to this let me know.

I can carry it for nine holes without any trouble too.

My new Ogio Grom stand bag should be here on Monday and I will put it on my new Clicgear 2.0 push cart. Now I just need new irons and a new game since mine is floundering!

If you always ride in a cart, I prefer a staff bag for a few reasons.

-Clubs go in and out much smoother because it's roomy.
-The tour staff bag provides more overall protection to your gear, hence why the pro's use them.
-Finally you have more room to store stuff vs a stand bag.

I've had both, and if you want durability that lasts a long time and you are going to ride, go with a cart bag. Otherwise, if you walk, get the stand bag.

My first bag was a stand model that always twisted on my pull cart so I've been using cart bags since with no fatigue problems. There are a few lightweight cart bag options, if weight is going to be an issue, but they are quite spartan. I use a Sun Mountain C-130 on a Clicgear 2.0 cart. Definitely not a lightweight set-up but it rolls beautifully and carries more than anyone could need on a golf course.

Get yourself a good lightweight stand bag. Good for walking, sticking in the back of a cart, or pull-cart. Plus they cost a whole lot less.

Unless you have someone carrying it for you, forget the cart bag.

    • It’s winter here and time hitting at my indoor place.  This year I bought and sold a few sets so I didn’t settle in on anything. For this coming season, starting now I have a choice to make.  What set would you guys use? 1.  Nike Vapor Pro irons - They are like new, hit them some last year before I had to demo other sets.  I love them, original grips, barely used so I’m almost not wanting to use them to keep their value up.  Standard LLL and standard grips. 2. Taylormade P7TW irons - Still in the box.  Got them over a year ago but had too much to hit, never used them.  Have used a set in the past and loved them.  Ended up with my own set custom fit to me -1/4”, 1 degree flat midsize grips.  These are probably not as valuable because they are still available and they are fit to me. I hate to put the Nikes away but it makes more sense to save them than the TW’s…. I dunno…. 
    • Day 215 (3 Dec 24) - Another very chilly day - opted to work on easy pitches in the backyard. Worked thru the irons and wedges - focused on foot position and tempo. 
    • Yes. I believe in using the same ball all of the time, including chipping and putting practice. I use the orange Callaway Supersoft.  Only $25 per dozen, and sometimes on sale for $20.
    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.
