New Carry Bag

[Beaker]

Hopefully someone can help!?

Im going to Florida for a golfing holiday in a month and need a new Stand bag as my current one (Taylormade r7) is about dead

Anyone got any suggestions? Obviously golf gear alot cheaper over there so will also be trying to get the new Titleist driver and stocking up on Pro V's!!

The Yanks on other websites always rave about Sun Mountain bags for some reason..:shrug:

I fancy the Sun mountain H2O bag, totally waterproof (when the hood is on) and it seems to have loads of space.

The new Mizuno Aerolite 3 for 2009 looks very nice, that golf warehouse uk is selling them for £55 already.

I have a Titleist bag. It is as waterproof as a tea bag. Can't recommend it for use in the UK.

A mate bought a Sun Mountain H2O which is totally water proof. Nice bag, but you do need to take your wet stuff (including clubs) out of it when you have played in the rain, or it will all go manky / rusty.

Ping always get a good write up.

Where are you going in FL?

I've always had an eye for the Ogio Edge Stand Bag, it can also be used as a cart bag.

Cheers for replys gents,

I do like the look of Pings so might go for one of those, but i had heard Sun Mountain were popular over there?

Im going to stay on a place called Windsor Hills?? Just below Epcot I think? Theres 6 of us sharing a villa and golfing every day except one when we doing Islands of Adventure! We playing:

Magnolia
Championsgate
Metro West
Panther Lake @ Orange County
Eagle Creek
Keene's Pointe
Grande Pines or Remington

Going to be a good lads trip!

Sounds very nice. I have not played any of those, but I have played two other Disney courses, The Palm (which abutts Magnolia), and Lake Buena Vista, both of which were superb, with lightening fast greens.

Have fun.

 

[Beaker]

Yeah we looked at those courses but we all wanted to put it in The Mickey Mouse bunker on the 8th?! And play a course they play on tour!

 

[USER1999]

If you get there early enough to use their range at Magnolia, use it. They use brand new nxt tour balls, with Mickeys ears printed on them. You can (shouldn't but did) put a few in the bag, so you lose their balls not yours out on the course, and keep one as a souvenier.

I always like the look of the Cleveland stand bags and as they are bigger over there you should get a good deal. Of course all the big names (Callaway, TM, Ping etc) will be cheaper so get yourself to the largest golf outlet you can find and have fun looking round

 

[Beaker]

Yeah i think we going to spend some time in an edwin watts, i'd also quite like the new titleist driver but obviously depends how much money i have left over!!

Thanks on the advice on Magnolia, It's going to be my first proper golfing trip so im really looking forward to it, especially as im going with 5 good friends aswell!

Cheers for all the help lads (I'm usuming!!) this is my first proper forum and its nice to be able to get advice and opinion off fellow golfers!

 

[USER1999]

Edwin Watts is the biggest outlet you will find. If they don't have it, they will ship it in from another branch.

Some time ago somebody on here was trying to find a Bennington bag but they are hard to get in the uk . I don't know much about them but it was a lovely looking bag where the clubs are housed radially around the bag ,in the picture that was shown you could clearly see every club ,whereas in most bags you find the shorter clubs hiding under the longer ones

Mizuno Aerolite: X lite, plenty of space for clubs, good straps, plenty of pockets and not going to break the bank. Available in plenty of colours. I'm using it myself.

 

[Smiffy]

I've just bought one of these...

Very light (as the name suggests) and seems well screwed together. And it doesn't cost the earth either

Yeah, I was tryng to get one for the Missus, as she likes mine so much. Best of all you can get to each club you want with ease & protect your irons without the need for naff iron covers. Not sure how well the Standbag variant would work but I can vouch for the cartbag variant as being a product worth having. The shop we have one on order, is still waiting for the order to arrive... he-ho.
