Testers Wanted (4) BagBoy Tracker

Sometimes all we need is a simple easy solution for simple questions, The Bag Boy Fitness Tracker is just that. 

How far you actually walk during a round of golf? 3 miles? 5 miles? More?

What about the number of calories you burn? (It’s more than you probably think.)

It might not be a revolutionary device and it probably won't save you any strokes either. That said, it will help you quantify the health benefits of walking and remove some guilt from that second bowl of ice cream.

As an added bonus you can earn discounts toward future BagBoy purchases by logging your rounds and hitting certain milestones.

How To Apply

(US Residents Only)

In a Post Below Provide the following information.  

NOTE: You must be able to play actual rounds of golf in December and January.

First Name/City State

Can You Play Golf in Dec and January

Current Fitness Tracker Used if any

great opportunity for all you walking dead golphers

gitter done!!

[Lacassem 8,219]

Didn’t even know this was a bag boy thing. Nice! Good luck all

[xOldBenKenobiX 3,684]

Yeah, the Michigan weather will probably make it near impossible to play any golf in the full courses, good luck to all who apply. 

I would love to apply, but I'm almost certain that if lucky I might only be able to play 1 round, and that is if we are lucky enough to have a little warm up during January. 

What do you guys think @MyWifesSwingCoach@edingc @CoachZ

[PMookie 11,949]

Well, since I don’t walk while playing, I’ll just follow along. Good luck!

[B.Boston 8,546]

wait you mean walking from the car to the simulator and back doesn't count as "walking" the course in the winter up here? 

Good luck to those that apply.  I'd be curious to see this compared to other trackers like apple watches/garmin/fitbit etc.

Great time of year for an opportunity like this!  I mean, for those of us going through serious golfing withdrawal pains, this could just be the remedy!  Walking an empty course from tee to green, swing trainer in hand, molded grip in the fingers, with or without the extra weight.   Moving from favorite rough to blind lie, swinging from bunker and hazard, replicating a bogie (ok double bogie) on each hole.  

I have never had an activity tracker but a playing partner did and I was surprised the first time he announced for our regular 9 hole round we had walked 3 miles.  Almost 300 miles this just ended 2020 season.  I would sacrifice my (short daylight) afternoons for such a walk and keep my fitness at a higher level than I suspect it is going to be.

Best wishes for the chosen few who are going test this one!

Good luck everyone. I would need a flatter course to do that much walking. 

[Apolloshowl 2,333]

Good luck all! Sadly non us and snow so it won't be me applying!

Same boat here, Snow is unavoidable this time of the year, I might have to follow the lead from @chisag and find a way to move to somewhere I can golf year around, do you guys think the wife will be pissed if I leaver her behind?

Yeah, I don't think we are going to have much luck this year unfortunately. Good luck to all that enter and I can't wait to see whats coming down the pike for next year!

[ZMendle10 121]

Good luck to all that apply! I understand this gets clipped to your cart but I am curious as to see if the results would be  any different for walking without a pushcart.

Congrats. to the testers.

I would think there may be a slight difference between this and a tracker device worn on your wrist due to the positioning of the cart while walking the course and leaving it behind or ahead of the actual position one may actually hit the shot from, or look in the trees or other areas for a mishit golf ball.

TonyG Austin Texas

Walk/Play every Wednesday and Saturday

Does my golfing partners Apple Watch count? If not, no current device.

[Cory O 305]

Might as well throw my hat in the ring:

Cory - Los Angeles, CA

Play almost daily and will continue to do so throughout the winter

I wear a FitBit daily and have a Garmin S10 GPS watch that also counts steps. I already have a pretty good idea about steps and exertion during the round.

[TBT 2,213]

Sounds interesting but I don’t walk during my rounds...I probably should but I don’t.

Good luck to everyone

Not sure I see a need for this product.  Phones, apps and golf watches already do this.

This is an easy pass for me...no interest in this product, at all.

 

[tony@CIC 16,841]

Good luck everyone I'd apply if I walked more.
