I usually have one bottle of Propel in there for the electrolytes, especially in the summer. It really works for me. That is the beauty of this bag in that the cooler is unobtrusive. I've always taken exception to the "no cooler" rule as there should be no prohibition on personal hydration.

Titleist87 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Now that I have a few more rounds with the bag, I can say it is a great bag. I'm sure it is comparable to other cart bags. The difference is in cosmetics, the cooler, and the Top Lock which will only apply if you have a Bag Boy push cart like I do. Still usable with any bag via the tie-down strap but when used with a Bag Boy cart, the strap is not needed. As infrequent as I change equipment, I see myself using this bag for 10+ years. Bag Boy, if you are reading this, please add a second towel ring.

Rickp Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 O.K. Folks, here is a brief introduction of myself for all checking out this thread. I am a 72 y/o retiree (12 years and counting) who normally plays golf 3 times per week as the weather permits. I had some fairly serious back surgery a couple of years back so I am a very short knocker now but my game is still fairly decent. Here in central Georgia we are able to play year round and I play in two senior groups that play different course each month. All of the groups I play with allow all of us over 70 guys to play from the women's tees, so that helps me continue to be somewhat competitive. My current golf bag is a Bag Boy Chiller Cart Bag and as Rickp said after seeing a picture of it, “The old bag looks like it’s got 150,000 miles on it “ LOL, it is 4 years old and if you do the math on my rounds per year, I play between 100 and 150 rounds a year, so that old bag has between 400 and 600 rounds. I have a tonneau cover on my truck bed so my bag stays in the back and rides every mile I do. I know I shouldn't leave my bag in the truck but I have a garage and that is where it spends the vast majority of time so I really don't think it hurts my bag and club's. I currently play mostly Callaway clubs that you can check out in my sig but most importantly all of my clubs have oversized grips, my woods and irons have Lamkin TS1 midsize grips and my putter grip is a SuperStroke 2.0 so we'll see if there is plenty of room in this bag as I am putting in and pulling out my clubs. In my bag I normally carry snacks, around a dozen balls, tees, sunscreen, rain gloves and bucket hat, rain hood, a couple of small bags with extra divot tools, batteries for my rangefinder, tape, Tylenol, insect repellant, extra towels and other assorted items. Needless to say at 72 and having had the back surgery I always ride when I play. My first impression of this bag was what a beautiful bag when I compared it to my old bag, I immediately noticed that the putter well is much larger and there are only 14 slots now instead of the 15 in my old bag. Everything else except for the Top Lock Technology seems pretty much the same. I loved that I was able to transfer everything directly over to the new bag and know where everything is stored. Here are some of the things that are important to me. First, I do play several courses that do not allow personal coolers with you on the course so the cooler pocket is the big feature and it is great. I am a non drinker of alcohol so I drink plenty of water when I play, especially here in Georgia in the late spring, summer and early fall. My routine is to freeze one bottle of water and put it in the bag first, then 3 bottles of water and I begin drinking a bottle of water or a Propel on the way to the course, that will usually last through the first few holes. So having 4 more drinks for the rest of the round is enough to get me through even on the hottest of days. The last drink with the frozen ice will melt enough to give me more drink but after drinking 4 waters already I am hydrated and really am just trying to stay cool at that point. All of the waters are cold the entire round with this method. Secondly I like a bag with an individual divider system and that system to be full length, this bag has it. As I stated earlier I am coming from a BB Chiller Bag that I bought in 2016. Only here within the past 2 months have I had a club handle grab a club, and that's only been a couple of times. My clubs have midsize grips and my putter has a Super Stroke 2.0 grip so I have gone 4 years on my old bag with essentially no problems, I am hoping this bag is as durable. So far it seems that it is going to be. Thirdly I like to have lots and lots of space in my bag for essentials and goodies, I have everything I need for a round and then more room should I decide to carry something else. I have large items and small, some of them are umbrella, ball retriever, sunscreen, insect repellant, Short Sleeved rain jacket, bucket hat, rain gloves, Tylenol, tape, nail clippers, balls, tees, ball markers, extra pencils, chiller towel, extra towels & lots of snacks. Fourth I like lots of rings to hang my towels, ditty bags, brush, my rangefinder and my GPS. This bag has that on the right hand side as you look at the bag and has nothing on the left side of the bag at all. I solved that problem when I found this https://snaphookzgolf.com/ I have had it on my old bag for most of the 4 years I have had it and I have never had a problem with it. It solves my needing more rings to hang things and blends well with the Chiller Bag. I have ordered a new one for my test bag as I am currently using the old one and it has faded and looks bad on this beautiful bag. Fifth while I do like the larger putter well, I personally preferred the 15 way top of the old bag to the 14 way of the new. I like to keep alignment sticks and a G Force 7 iron in my bag for pre-round warm up. Sixth, Zen Snake asked a great question about the bag stability when riding alone. I had opportunity to ride as a single and I strapped my bag in without using the passenger strap to tighten the bag in to help prevent flopping around, I was very impressed to find that it seems the cart strap will hold this bag as well as anyone could expect. Seventh, Lacassem asked How is the rubber sole holding up on the bottom. After comparison pictures with my old bag I believe the bottom will easily outlast the bag. A nice touch that was not in my previous bag is the ball retriever sleeve, I have a very short (6 feet when extended) retriever and it fits perfectly in the provided space. Grading Looks - 9.5 I love the red and black combo of my bag but there are 6 combinations for golfers to choose, there should be something for everyone. The graphics are subtle and the overall look is pretty classic. Size & Weight – 9.5 You would be hard pressed to find a bag with this much storage that is appreciably lighter. I have storage space to spare. Club Storage – 9 As stated above I prefer the 15 way top to the 14 way but again that is a personal thing and no biggie. I have no problem with my oversize grips hanging in the slots. Other Storage – 9.5 The only people who might need to carry more that this bag will carry would be the pros, they have to be ready for any thing and everything. As an average Joe I feel that I have all I need. Extra Features – 9.5 The chiller pocket alone would earn this rating but the ball retriever sleeve & Top Lock features take it to the top. Durability – 9.5 This is based on how well my current bag is holding up and how well my previous Chiller bag has held up. On- Course – 18.5 As a cart bag this one would be hard to beat, plenty of storage, large full divider slots, cooler pocket, rugged construction. I am impressed! Miscellaneous – 4 The only change that I think most golfers would want is a towel ring on both sides of the bag, that is big to most golfers that I know. Play It or Trade It – 10 Play it!!! Conclusion This is my second Bag Boy Chiller bag and I don't believe it will be my last. It has storage, room, durability, looks and light weight to carry from the car to the clubhouse. I have thoroughly enjoyed this testing and thank both MSG and Bag Boy for the opportunity. Final Score – 94 out of 100 This is my old bag compared to my new Bag Boy Chiller Bag Here are views of the bottom of a 4 year old vs a nearly new Bag Boy Chiller. Views of the cart in use on the course, there is very little turning of the bag during the round. The first is how I normally ride when alone with the strap hooked through the other strap to keep my bag from turning, the second and third are how well it rode without the strap, thanks for the great question Zen Snake. I load 2 bottles horizontally and then the last two vertically as shown below, that allows me to slip a snack or two down in the bag to keep it chilled too. Some of my snacks have a small bit of chocolate in this and this really helps. The second photo is how well the bag closes loaded this way. These photos show the first bottle out for the day (held by none other than ole gray, sorry about cutting off your head buddy) the second shows the second bottle of the day which was the same temp for the 3rd bottle. The 4th is the temp of my frozen water post round. Pretty good on a day the temps went from 87° to 92° during our round. The first photo shows the new Snap-Hookz on the bag, it is a great addition and I highly recommend it to anyone needing more rings on their bag. The second show the Top-Lock Technology and how it does protect the bag some even for we dedicated cart riders, and finally the third shows the roominess of this great bag.

Fourth I like lots of rings to hang my towels, ditty bags, brush, my rangefinder and my GPS. This bag has that on the right hand side as you look at the bag and has nothing on the left side of the bag at all. I solved that problem when I found this https://snaphookzgolf.com/ I have had it on my old bag for most of the 4 years I have had it and I have never had a problem with it. It solves my needing more rings to hang things and blends well with the Chiller Bag. I have ordered a new one for my test bag as I am currently using the old one and it has faded and looks bad on this beautiful bag. Fifth while I do like the larger putter well, I personally preferred the 15 way top of the old bag to the 14 way of the new. I like to keep alignment sticks and a G Force 7 iron in my bag for pre-round warm up. Sixth, Zen Snake asked a great question about the bag stability when riding alone. I had opportunity to ride as a single and I strapped my bag in without using the passenger strap to tighten the bag in to help prevent flopping around, I was very impressed to find that it seems the cart strap will hold this bag as well as anyone could expect. Seventh, Lacassem asked How is the rubber sole holding up on the bottom. After comparison pictures with my old bag I believe the bottom will easily outlast the bag. A nice touch that was not in my previous bag is the ball retriever sleeve, I have a very short (6 feet when extended) retriever and it fits perfectly in the provided space. Grading Looks - 9.5 I love the red and black combo of my bag but there are 6 combinations for golfers to choose, there should be something for everyone. The graphics are subtle and the overall look is pretty classic. Size & Weight – 9.5 You would be hard pressed to find a bag with this much storage that is appreciably lighter. I have storage space to spare. Club Storage – 9 As stated above I prefer the 15 way top to the 14 way but again that is a personal thing and no biggie. I have no problem with my oversize grips hanging in the slots. Other Storage – 9.5 The only people who might need to carry more that this bag will carry would be the pros, they have to be ready for any thing and everything. As an average Joe I feel that I have all I need. Extra Features – 9.5 The chiller pocket alone would earn this rating but the ball retriever sleeve & Top Lock features take it to the top. Durability – 9.5 This is based on how well my current bag is holding up and how well my previous Chiller bag has held up. On- Course – 18.5 As a cart bag this one would be hard to beat, plenty of storage, large full divider slots, cooler pocket, rugged construction. I am impressed! Miscellaneous – 4 The only change that I think most golfers would want is a towel ring on both sides of the bag, that is big to most golfers that I know. Play It or Trade It – 10 Play it!!! Conclusion This is my second Bag Boy Chiller bag and I don't believe it will be my last. It has storage, room, durability, looks and light weight to carry from the car to the clubhouse. I have thoroughly enjoyed this testing and thank both MSG and Bag Boy for the opportunity. Final Score – 94 out of 100 This is my old bag compared to my new Bag Boy Chiller Bag Here are views of the bottom of a 4 year old vs a nearly new Bag Boy Chiller. Views of the cart in use on the course, there is very little turning of the bag during the round. The first is how I normally ride when alone with the strap hooked through the other strap to keep my bag from turning, the second and third are how well it rode without the strap, thanks for the great question Zen Snake. I load 2 bottles horizontally and then the last two vertically as shown below, that allows me to slip a snack or two down in the bag to keep it chilled too. Some of my snacks have a small bit of chocolate in this and this really helps. The second photo is how well the bag closes loaded this way. These photos show the first bottle out for the day (held by none other than ole gray, sorry about cutting off your head buddy) the second shows the second bottle of the day which was the same temp for the 3rd bottle. The 4th is the temp of my frozen water post round. Pretty good on a day the temps went from 87° to 92° during our round. The first photo shows the new Snap-Hookz on the bag, it is a great addition and I highly recommend it to anyone needing more rings on their bag. The second show the Top-Lock Technology and how it does protect the bag some even for we dedicated cart riders, and finally the third shows the roominess of this great bag. Great job good buddy! I was impressed with everything about the Bag Boy .

cciciora13 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Love the write up and review Rick. Could use a cooler pocket with this hot humid summer we are having! I still go commando and stick a few in the side pocket of my bag, but impossible to add ice/ ice packs without it sweating.
