Mizuno Scratch Sac IV - Ideal for the winter

[GreiginFife]

Just got a new Mizzy pencil bag to replace my old and very worn, 2nd generation Scratch Sac.
I decided on the 2010 model (SS IV) as I wasn't really bothered about the dual strap as it's really only for carrying a half set for playing a quick 9 and through the winter.
Got an absolute bargain from clubhouse Golf, £25 plus a couple of quid postage and it's a lovely grey/silver and black colour. But that's not the best bit.
The old bag was not particularly waterproof and the material was a bit thick, cotton like and quite heavy for a pencil bag, not the new(er) one it's not. Fully waterproofed and very, very lightweight with a wide enough club tube to take a full set if you like.

3 decent sized pockets and a brolly strap make it able to handle all the kit you need and the single strap is padded and very comfortable. Also came with a velcro attachment "shower cap" rain hood.

So just a summary heads up to anyone that may be looking for a pencil bag for the winter that they could do worse than one of these and at £25 it's an absolute steal.

Had one of these for a while and it's great for a quick 9 holes with a half set. As you say, ideal for winter but also very useful in summer for a late evening few holes.

The name could do with changing though. Not sure what I was expecting from a scratch sac

Be prepared for a wet arse on a damp winters morning having to lie it on the ground.Prefer stand bag in winter but handy in the summer as DCB has stated.

My friend had a bag like this but was fed up getting it wet every time he ut it down and I was getting fed up him leaning on my bag too. I saw a Wilson skinny stand bag yesterday in a London "Golf Sale" but he wanted £70 for it!! Ideally Id like a slim line bag with the half size legs on it. I've seen them before somewhere I'm sure??

Yes a pencil bag with legs would be a good seller I think. Just legs that are maybe a third the length of a normal stand bag would do the trick, once the bag was above the wet grass.

They exist. I've seen them, yesterday a wilson one. I'm sure mizuno do one too?
