Broken Putter Well

[Nick_Toye]

Hi,

My cart bag has a putter well, as well as 14 dividers, but because I have a big grip on my putter it broke the well, in that it came away from the material.

I was thinking about getting a new bag for Christmas, but honestly there is nothing else wrong with the bag. The money could be spent on a decent trolley or maybe a 5 wood that I need.

Has anyone ever had this issue with the putter well and managed to fix it easily? I'm not very good with this kind of stuff. I haven't seen many repair shops around the area either.

Tape it back on? Any images of the damage so we can help?

I would think that for a small investment (if you don't have it already) some type of glue or tape would fix it.

Would of thought you could glue it back in with a flexi adhesive

Ok thanks I'll see what I can find.

The other problem is if I do fix it, will it break again because I have the Big Fatso putter grip, it doesn't just slide in, have to sometimes twist it to get the right angle.

If you've got 14 dividers, wouldn't it be eaiser to use one of those?

I haven't had the problem, but the putter well on my bag is much larger than those seen on others. I have the Super Stroke Flatso, and it goes in and out no problem (oooo-errrr!)

I had the same problem with my Powacaddy pvc bag, and they don't do repairs.
As the material was already torn, I repaired it by pulling the plastic tube up so it protrude about 8mm above the material.
Then pre drilled the tube and fix it in place with a pop rivet through the material to hold it in place.

Still holding after a few months, fingers crossed.

Failing that take it to a cobbler if you can find one .:thup:

If funds are available for a bag OR a club you need (5wood) then there is no contest for me. Buy the club and fix the bag.

yeah it's what I do now. it's a vanity thing for sure, but my OCD kicks in when I have something not right.

Cobbler? ha ha. Do they still have that mechanical man hammering a shoe?

Ok I tried to fix it, but all the insides have perished really. It's just not going to work. I just have a big unsightly hole in my bag.

I only paid £80 from this golf wholesalers near me. Get what you pay for I suppose.

Have you tried looking on you tube?

Yeah its done for I'm afraid. I reattached it as best I could, but its come away underneath too and time for a new bag. Had it 2 years though and wasn't that expensive. I've kind of out-grown it, and need something more sturdy.
