russtopherb Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Went out bag shopping with my 13 yo but did't really find anything that worked for him. DSG had a Maxfli junior bag that was a good size and weight but the shoulder straps were WAY too wide for him. I'm going to keep an eye on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace to see if I can find something for him. My wife's making noise about getting him a push cart too, which I suppose would make the size/weight of the bag irrelevant. It's times like these that I *really* miss Golfsmith since there's no other place even remotely close to us now that we could see a decent selection of bags/carts.

If buying a bag and a push cart, I recommend a carry bag that will fit on the cart. Try out different combinations before buying. I lucked out when I got my carry bag; it fit my SM MicroCart. I use the cart when walking, but having a carry bag to just go to the practice area is worth it IMO. russtopherb and THEZIPR23 2 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this- now to find a carry bag that sits well on a push trolley and works on a trolley i.e access to pockets and clubs not tangling trying to get them in and out. A carry bag with a separate putter well and easy brolly storage would be awesome but I dont think that exists Quote Driver Awaiting NEW Driver (after 10 yrs) 4 Wood Callaway Big Bertha Steelhead plus 4+ Callaway shaft in 'Firm' flex Hybrid Titleist 910H 19* Diamana ahina 'flower' shaft in 'S' Irons Mizuno MP18SC 4-PW N.S Pro Modus3 Tour 105 in 'S' Wedges Callaway Mack Daddy forged in black 50* and 54* KBS Tour in 'R' Putter 'YES' Tracy 11 C groove 34.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MaxEntropy Posted July 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2019 My oldest daughter was doing a study abroad program in Paris. She flew back yesterday through JFK. Arrived in New York to find that pretty much every flight to get her to Cleveland was canceled and that her only option was to hang out at JFK for about 25 hours. She asked about a hotel for the night and the Delta agent said, "oh sorry, we don't do that any more." She tried to get comfortable on the tile floor in the ticketing area. I checked Google and said hmmm, I can make it to JFK and back in about 14 hours and hit the road. Left my house at 9 pm last night, hit JFK at 4 am, arrived back home about 12 hours before her flight would have landed in Cleveland. I'm really tired but it was worth it to have the 7 hours in the car to hear all the stories of her time in France with zero interruptions.
