I have a Jones Trouper Stand bag, which for me is plenty of room on the back of a cart, as well as on a push cart. I also have a Jones carry bag, which is perfect for 9 hole rounds, short courses, or times when I don't plan on bringing a whole bunch of stuff with me.

Definitely just the regular ol' life challenges. Business from work, family, etc., on top of choosing to play a round, rather than practice, which sometimes isn't the best for my game!

I know we are spoiled, but San Diego is pretty special, considering we get to play year round!

Stealth 2 10.5 gonna be tough to take this one out of the bag

This topic feels pretty like something that generally, has more of an age divide than others. Some of the dress code type requirements are goofy and antiquated to me, being in my early 30s. Private clubs where you need to remove your hat when your indoors feels insane, as does requiring a tucked in shirt. But, there is something to the feel of an expensive round of golf somewhere and the entire experience reflecting the level of the round. This being said, I feel like there is some common sense that should apply and is typically how I choose to dress. My local course where I hold a membership can be pretty laid back, so if I'm trying to squeeze in 9 holes at 6pm after work one day, I'll likely just wear a t-shirt, but at the same course, would opt for a collard shirt for a weekend morning tee time. Which leads to a comment that @Marlin Dave made earlier, which I whole-heartedly agree with. If someone elses apparel is bothering you that much, you really aren't playing the game for the right reason.

How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? Played when I was a kid, but got back into it 6-7 years ago What do you love about golf? Being outside, competing against myself, and working on improving myself What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? Friends have always talked about it, and I love the reviews! Where are you from? What is your home course? San Diego, CA. Balboa Park at least once a week. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Tough to get tee times because our weather is always good. Best thing, is that the weather is always good. What do you do for a living? Supply Chain in CPG How’d you pick your user name? College roommate called me Nij, as an intentional mispronunciation of Nick, and its just stuck./

Main reason I have not joined a private club are as follows: - Upfront cost. I wouldn't be opposed to monthly fees, but the initiation fees are too expensive in my area. - Locations of private clubs. I live in San Diego, where during the week, getting to a private club is not feasible after work due to to traffic. I would rather play a close muni, than sit in an hour of traffic, to play 7 holes before dark, then drive a half an hour home. - Quality and number of Munis. At the end of the day, Torrey, at twilight is $29, so its hard to find a reason to pay any more than that, even if I played every single day. I hear the reasons to do it, especially in other parts of the country, and at different life stages, but for me its just not justifiable at this time in my life.
