    Default Portable Sand buckets for Carry Bags

    Just wondering if anyone knows where you can get little sand buckets that can clip onto your bag.
    Saw a guy the other day with one.

    Sick of carrying a bucket then realising you left it on the ground 2 holes ago

    I've got one. Good idea, but it's easily knocked of the "catch".

    I now use a sports bottle filled with sand, and tuck it in one of the bigger pockets.

    Yep, I had one, but the catch fell apart, so now I just use a Gatorade bottle.

    I've been using either a gatorade or powerade bottle. They work a treat except for when the sand is wet and you can't carry a lot of sand, but I assume that would be the case with the sandmann's as well.

    Great little device. Broken catches are easily repaired. There are pics on here that show how to do it. Mine is still functioning perfectly.

    Yes the factory/shop was just before Dunheved GC. Still have mine, I modified the holder to stainless after the plastic started to wear with the constant sand contact. Very handy.

    Another way around having to carry sand, is to do what I do and purposely hit it into the rough.

    The trick is to not carry over to the next fairway.

    Must be fake Tupperware for that price.

    Golf is, in part, a game; but only in part. It is also in part a religion, a fever, a vice, a mirage, a frenzy, a fear, an abscess, a joy, a thrill, a pest, a disease, an uplift, a brooding, a melancholy, a dream of yesterday and a hope for tomorrow. - New York Tribune, 1916.

    It's real Tupperware. I've only used it once.

    And I can't find the lid. I don't think it came with a lid.

    I'd rather carry my bucket and still have room for a drink.

    Drink goes in a pocket along with a 'gel type' ice pack.
