Stand Bags

[Grunt]

Hi all

Thinking of getting a stand bag so I am asking this question how many of you have stand bags?

Also any tips on getting the right one.

I am looking at the proline ultra grip, it has grip lok .

i have an Ogio shock bag, great bag ... light, has the Woode system to keep the woods seperated ..... i can highly recommend them 8)

Yeah, I have a a stand bag that I use as my range bag. It's a Retco thing that I won in a tournament once. It's not a great bag, by any means, but it's perfect for the range. Not well balanced or versatile enough for on-course use.

FWIW - I don't like to carry in competition (or even in social golf, really). I just don't understand why I would carry when I can use a buggy.

I bought a Hoofer when i started out with golf, dont know why just liked them i guess, Good bag, very comfortable to carry and has lots of compartments that comne in handy. But i am thinking about buying a staff bag coz as oz said why carry when you can use a buggy :D

Cart bag here - why carry or pull a buggy when you can strap it on a cart and ride around :D

I was a non believer in the stand bag till I tried it. Around my home course which can be pretty hilly I find it easier carrying up the hills than pushing, especially when a hill is 500mtrs long.

On a flat course I don't think I'd see much difference, but I actually like carrying now.

Jarro has my old Ogio bag (bought from Singapore), and I now have a new Ogio Voltage bag.

2 mates with Ogio Flight bag, another Ogio stand bag is on the way for another mate.

Jarro.. repeat after me..

I used to have a carry bag, but sold it in favour of a big fat staff bag. :twisted:
The carry bag was great (top-of-the-line Nike bag with all the features) but my back is a bit dodgy and I struggled towards the end of a round. They are heaps more convenient becuase of their size, and on course you can take lots of shortcuts you couldn't normally take otherwise. If my back wasn't crap, I may still be using a carry bag... :roll:

Go the stand bag Grant - I find it so much easier to get around New Brighton than pulling/pushing. Only problem is that there's no seat :(

I use an oldish Taylor Made bag - but the dream is the Ogio.

You're a bit more frugal with the stand bag too - no use in carrying around 2 doz golf balls, all your wet weather gear etc when you have to carry it on your back!

I'm using my wife's Callaway stand-bag as it's got pockets up the wahoo and those little notches for the irons and seat buggy combo.

Learnt a good saying in the army: Why stand, when you could be sitting down? Why sit down, when you could be lying down? Why stay awake, when you could be sleeping? Extrapolating.... why carry, when it could be rolled along? :roll:

I just got on the stand bagwagon. Although with recent illness I haven't had a chance to take it on the course. I did find it significantly more practical at the range. It gets pretty windy there and the old cart bag would fall over all the time.

So I'm happy with the switch so far.

Got my stand bag today, So I guess I can change my vote now :lol:

Proline Lite-lok, good lite bag with griplok all for $100 :D

[amanda]

great price Grant - somewhere on special? or is that RRP?

[Courty]

Can you explain what the 'Griplok' feature is?

[Grunt]

Well First off Amanda, it is mates rates as my best mate is pro at Botany Golf Course.

And courty, griplok is where your clubs are gripped by their grips so they dont rattle togethre as you walk.

That's a cool idea. I wish I had that in my bag. I'm always touching up the shafts after they bump & rub together in the bag.

[McMw]

griplok bags are cool in theory - but bloody heavy tho!!!
and your grips WILL wear out faster!!!

Hi all

All of you with Stand Bags, Do you carry a bucket of have you got one of those sandman thingys?

[amanda]

Grant - I use a small juice container that I fill - holds sand for 3 divots. Marcel uses a sandman - but I'd only buy one if it was on special - I think the RRP is around $20.

[Jarro]

i just use some sand from my playing partners sand buckets :wink:

[Grunt]

Yeah that would work for me but my club has had a go at me not taking one out in case there are no partners near me to fill the divot.

[AndyP]

I carry around a small tupperware container that is enough for two to three divots.

[Grunt]

Got the sandman today! got it on ebay for $17 delivered.

Will see how it goes.
