I have just seen a couple of the 2008 Cobra cart bags and they are truly hideous.

They are in camouflage colours and that just doesn't float my boat. The only use for them is to hide the fact that one has just gone 45deg left off the tee into the trees!

There however is another new Cobra bag that is pure beauty. Yellow, red, black, & white, looks like a mini tour-bag and is a must have on the MWJ shopping list post xmas. If I bought it now after my drinking session last night and with one on saturday HID would castrate me in my sleep!

Do the Cobra bags come with the izzo strap.....can't get my head around that at all. I bought a Callaway bag in London and had to carry it on the tube. I think I managed to injure quite a few folk with the (dunno how to do it) izzo arrangement. I know they work, but I gave up, gone back to the one strap arrangement, you know the one, pick it up wrong and all-your-clubs-empty-themselves-beside-the-green in one quick move....."as you were, ladies!"

:DDave :D

I removed a club from my bag to play a shot and rested my half-eaten peeled banana on top, only to see it slip down into the vacant club pocket. Do you think I could get it out? After emptying the bag and turning it upsidedown, shaking it and kicking it, there was no sign of the banana. Worse than that, it seems to have spread across the bottom so that all my clubs now have sticky banana flavoured grips.

When will manufacturers learn that we must have removably bottoms on golf bags so that we can remove delinquent bananas?

Oh, how I laughed!!!

I got a brolly stuck in my bag once and threw my toys out the pram when it started p***** down!

When I finaly got it out (a year late) I realised I'd damaged it so badly it was like a sock that slips down.

The end came when a kid who'd won the U18 championship barfed on it outside the clubhouse after 2 lager shandys.

It went in an industrial washing machine and then to the charity shop (unwittingly taken there by H.I.D.)

How I loved that bag....sounds like a song from toy story 2.

A friend of mine bought a second-hand ladies golf bag for his wife, and when they emptied it there were two condom wrappers in the bottom. It makes you wonder what's going on when you see ladies hitting the ball into the woods, perhaps a stud from the green staff is lurking in there.

Even worse than that though - fancy buying a second-hand golf bag for your wife. That's despicable.

Reminds me of the old Peter Alliss story about "hiding the noddy"

Apparently he and his pals used to secretly roll a condom over each others driver grips in the hope that they'd take the driver out of the bag on the first tee at Wentworth or wherever in the hope of causing much embarrassment.

Oh, how the winter nights must have just flown by!

Nobody has said anything about my friend buying a second-hand golf bag for his wife. What's wrong with you people? Don't you have any respect for the fairer sex? It's worse than buying her a second-hand frock.

If you came to my club and clocked the 'lady' members ( I use the term loosely as they make Pat Butcher look like Pam Anderson) perhaps they used the rubbers as chewing gum. In fact ...


UGLY COBRA BAGS fits them down to a tee. If they bit their tongue they would poison themselves.

I saw the snake program.....don't think I'll be golfing in Malasia! how grim was that!!
Never come across any dangerous critters out on the course, a few sheep maybe. I've heard of crocs (or is it aligators) on courses.

If you hit your ball in a lake and a croc gets it, do you get a re-hit?

Oh, I've played with a shark or two, but that would be pool.
