Using a stand bag with a trolley

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

A lot of the newer stand bag, have been made trolly friendly. But not cheap!

One reason I bought e new Hoofer during the week. It looks more 'trolley friendly' as it doesn't have the stand contraption at the bottom of the bag - this being the main thing for me that makes carry bags 'trolley unfriendly'. I shall report back on how successful Ping have been on this.

My hoofer is a nightmare to putt on my trolley, slips and twists round. However my hoofer is not one of the new ones, but is a lovely carry bag when I do carry.

My old John Letters bag was a bit of a 'mare - used to twist and slip around. I eventually sorted out how to 'lash it to the yard arm' so it didn't (most of the time).

Agree with the above sentiments re bungee cords - fantastic!
I use an ogio grom on a motocaddy s1 and powacaddy (sp?) twinline for when I am in a rush. S1 is good but twinline is a pile of pants and has now had 2 bungee cords afixed to hold the bag straight and it works. I look like Steptoe out on the course anyway so this makes no odds!

Now that's what I like to hear (as he still wears a couple of Pringle jerseys bought about 25 yrs ago - threadbare in places and raggedy in others they may be - but they knew me when I was off 6 and does wool have swing memory?) - who is this guy Galpin Groin anyway?

Having seen some of the retro pringle jumpers I think they should bring them back, complete with geometric george on them.

Input mine on on it's side. Strap at the top, strap round the bottom, job done.

By doing this it takes the tand mech at the bottom out of play .

£20 bag, £3.50 (eBay) trolley...no more panting up the last few holes

Like it, thought I was the only one with the rather daft notion of lucky/swing ingrained jumpers. I went to the lengths of a haberdashers to find just the right cotton to fix the shoulders on my vintage Hilfiger!

Disappointing replies so far.

Everyone is going about this all wrong. Child labour is the way forward.

Kids are getting up at stupid o'clock every morning delivering papers in heavy bags. They earn about £10 for a weeks work.

Hire a child today for £10 and have your bag carried for you, with club heads cleaned as they go in the bag. Not only will you save your back, you'll look like a rich tycoon type, plus the kid gets some dough.

£10 for say 4hrs work - that's £2.50 an hour (I godda maths degree so can do these difficult sums). Would I pay the minimum wage for a lad to cart my clubs around - well the apprentice rate for under 19yrs is £2.60. So yes I probably would. I'd be expected to give him some golfing tips though - being an apprentice.

And yes - they do sport the 'geometric george' badge and go very nicely with my ProQuip red/blue tartan Goretex waterproof jacket of the same vintage.

I shall take a couple of bungee ties with me but I think I'll be OK.
