My old Ogio Grom died yesterday. RIP.
After holding it together for a few months with screws and nails one of the legs finally fell off. I had bought it about 4 or 5 years ago and it had taken quite a beating in that time.......literally on some occasions. There's nothing quite so satisfying as giving your bag a good kick or a whack with your sand wedge after another flubbed chip, is there?
However, my lovely new wife had anticipated it's despatch from this earth and had ordered me this lovely new bag as a wedding pressie, which I picked up this morning.
Joy, oh joy.
Now, I'll confess to being a bit of an Ogio buff. That last Ogio Grom bag was the best I'd had in 30 years of golfing. It was well designed, with everything in the right place...or so I thought. I now think the 2011 model is even better.
Just a wee example. Here are the pockets which can be accessed while it's still on your back.
Water bottle pouch; tees pocket; cardholder pocket (for a strokesaver too); and a zipped pocket which will hold my lazer rangefinder; zipperless ball pocket.
The zipperless ball pocket. It says that it's "embroidery friendly". Took me a while to work that one out... until I discovered that the front zips off so that it can be placed in a sewing machine easily. Handy if you want your name on your bag!
Fleece lined valuables pocket and towel loop. Great for your video camera or whatever.
Low profile ball silo (for 3 balls); tee holders; glove or putter-cover velcro attachment strip; easy access pitchmark repairer pocket and pen/pencil pocket
Oh, and of course there's the usual full sized pocket for your waterproofs etc; another zipped pocket for woolly hats or whatever; a brolly holder; rain cover and there are 14 individual dividers for your clubs.
The straps are even more padded than my old model and there are better handles for getting it in and out of the car. I know from experience that it will perform well and all in all, very pleased and looking forward to trying it out.
Price matched from the web in American Golf at £113.99. They sell them at £149 normally! This one is in stealth black.
