Nice.  But, is this the second or third purchase since your first "trying not to buy stuff and save for a SkyTrak" post...?  

You're not wrong! But, I've cleared out some things from my basement club stash (no more Maltby PTMs...), and I also capitalized on the sports trading card market being hot right now. Nabbed a ~$600 profit a few weeks back on some cards I've been hanging on to for several years.

The Skytrak fund is alive and well.

I've got some cards that are worth some good money but i am scared to send them in for grading. I felt actual physical discomfort thinking about sending in the cards.

Like new super hybrid came in. Thank you CPO. Will see how this works for me. Went stiff shaft since my fitter told me these shafts run stiff to flex and my irons are kbs S and driver XS so went happy medium. Head feels heavy on this club. Can’t wait to take it out Saturday

There are 20* on CPO. I’m testing this Saturday. Who knows, it could be yours? Or @dlow206will give up on his.

Much like other hobbies due to COVID, the trading card market is hot! I had some decent stuff of LeBron and MJ sitting around in boxes in the basement so I capitalized while I could. 

I haven't been an active collector in like 15 years, but there was a good stretch of time where I spent a lot of time and money trading online in the earlier days of the web...

Went on a bit of a buying spree around the Masters last year. The much-delayed Dormie cover was delivered last week and I finally made a run to the office to pick it up, so here's the new April bag setup (with one too many putters). Now just need to find some new toys to slip into the covers

Driver: Asher x Dormie

Fairway (but also a driver cover): Dude Where's My Par (made by Pins & Aces)

Mallet: Blue Birdie Golf

Blade/Towel: Gibbons Handmade / Players Towel (via American Flatsticks)

Alignment Sticks: Bubba Whips (had them for a while, they just happen to match)

OGIO Woodē arrived today!

the top is so much more to my liking than usual 4/5 way or 14 way tops. I wish the pockets had a few different features, but not a lot of bags have those. Only weird part is the lined valuables pocket is one of the “snap” pockets and doesn’t zip shut, so it’s not waterproof. I can see that velour lining getting soaked pretty fast in some rain.

That bag looks really good, I love the color combo! Looks like it'll fit really well into your push cart, too. I wasn't sure how I'd like the organization of the clubs, but it just looks right in that bag. I'm happy to see it finally made it to you.

It does fit very well. The rectangular shape of the top works well.

If I do keep it I’ll take one strap off since I’ll only be carrying it from the house to the car. If I don’t keep it it will be because of that valuables pocket. Just sort of a strange idea I didn’t notice before.

Yeah, not having a way to keep your valuables dry is kind of a big deal and something I would have thought would be standard. I do like the look of the straps, from the pictures in the Woode thread, they look like they're comfortable.

That is "weird" to say the least.  What the heck are the designers thinking when they add that feature?  Or in this case NOT thinking.  Do they even play?

I wonder that a lot with products lately. But yeah they really promote the return of the quick access pockets, just seems really silly and not well thought through for the valuables pocket.

The top does seem to be a solid improvement over the last run of the OG Woode top.

Just curious, is that the only lined/valuables pocket, or are there multiples? My current bag has two lined pockets - one zipped and the other using magnets and specifically designed for a rangefinder (easy access but also protective). My rangefinder has definitely gotten wet with this design, but in fair weather it's a nice feature. 

I like the top design - I switched back to a 14-way last year, and have my complaints with it, but prefer it to the 4-5 way dividers that I've used. This one looks like a good balance between those styles.

It is the only lined pocket.  There is a rangefinder one, but its not lined.  The top design is great.  I've already gone over and pulled multiple clubs in and out to see if I get any binding grabbing and so far nothing.

Not golf but I just ordered these Tifosi sunnies. Same polarized lenses but matte black frames. I'll probably get another pair with the Enliven golf lenses.
