Update: I pulled the trigger on a refurbished Precision Pro NX9 with slope. I've used it twice and I highly recommend it, it seems brand new and works extremely well.
I got this bag last summer and the blue sections look brand new, but the white shows stains and discoloration even though I've sprayed it with scotch guard. I still love the bag, but if you are a neat freak I'd recommend a dark color.
I don't think I'd want to be friends with a guy that cheats to get $20 out of his "friends" so I'd just stop playing with him. But I like the idea mentioned of keeping a separate handicap just for your money games.
I always kept my putter with my driver, but when I got a new Ping Hoofer bag last season the dividers changed from 4 spaces in my old Hoofer to 5 spaces I moved it to the bottom with the wedges in the largest space.
It depends on how much gear you stuff your bag with. I have a Ping Hoofer stand bag and I think it is the best bag on the market. The cart strap channel does a great job keeping it secure on carts while still allowing access to all of the pockets, of which there is plenty of room for everything I need in my bag. But if you need more storage space I'd go with a cart specific bag rather than a staff bag for the functionality.
Has anyone heard if Snell is coming out with new MTB X and MTB Black balls for 2023? I see that they are sold out of MTB Black on their website and they haven't updated the MTB line since 2019.
