A great carry bag, but...
October 17, 2024
I walk 95% of the time, pushing my 3-wheeler. For the past few years I've used a typical cart bag, which provides sturdiness and plenty of room for extra clothes and other essentials.
Problem is, this gets heavy. My home course is hilly and pushing that RV-sized bag up the hill on 18 on a hot day gets the buzzards circling. I needed something lighter, and I wanted a stand bag for trips to the range.
This bag almost fits the bill. It's definitely light enough. It stands well and is sturdy. The 14 club separations work well, even my mid-sized grips don't stick.
What it lacks (for me) is a little more storage space. In Minnesota, the weather can turn on a dime, and in this case, the space allowed for raingear and maybe a light sweatshirt just doesn't cut it. There's enough room for balls, tees and such, but not much to jam in a can of bug spray or sunscreen. There's a sleeve for a water bottle, but it's not insulated.
Still, it's a great bag for what it is. The fault lies with me for not doing better research. I may just keep my tank of a cart bag for the cooler months and use this one when the weather turns hot. Who knows, I may even toss it on my back and carry from time to time.
Pros
- Sturdy construction, quality material.
- Exceptionally light weight.
- 14-club separation system works well.
- Looks sharp.
Cons
- Lacks storage capability of other hybrid bags.
- Drink sleeve not insulated.
