How Often Do You Replace Your Golf Bag?

I've never worn a bag out.  I tend to buy a new, matching staff bag whenever I buy a new set of irons.  I get new irons about every 3-4 years, so I have a garage full of nice staff bags and matching irons.  I do have a couple carry bags that don't get much use, normally use them when travelling or when going to a club that has caddies (they appreciate it).  I bet I have 20 like new bags in my garage... 

Sounds like me but my stuff is vintage Ryder Cup bags and older (read heavy) Miller or Burton staff bags

I've recently been looking to upgrade my bag.  I bought mine back in 2017 Sun Mountain C130.  It's still in great shape, but there's an Orange and Grey C130 one that just has me giddy with anticipation.  (that and i'm just bored, and want something new)  i'm trying to convince my wife that i should get new wedges too.  Wish me luck!

I’ve been golfing for 8 years and am on my 3rd bag. I gave my first bag to my dad when I got a new one and my 2nd bag is still my travel bag. That being said, I have no reason to upgrade or change but I think I might buy a new bag this year haha. Too many that look nice and I like new things

Sorta off topic but not---- Practiced today and afterwards my bud and I were having lunch on the patio by the putting green. I had the old Hoofer sitting there. One of the prim proper Tourist golfers made a comment to his bud " Man that is an old Hoofer" My bud who likes to harp on the tourons as much as I do shot back quick " You think the bag is old you ought to look at the clubs inside" One of them asked " you playing those?" My bud said "nope but he is (pointing to me) ya want to play for money?" The guy left kinda quickly. Yeah the old Hoofer is still holding up I do lube the real metal zippers with WD 40 about every week. Yeah best $5 I ever spent. What made the whole incident really funny is my bud (who is a permanent part of my shootout team now) Is darn near 80 yoa and not only is he a good stick but he is darn quick on a comeback too.

This makes me want to go buy a hoofer and have a similar story in 15 years haha. Maybe it would be one of my last bags ever. They just seem to hold up better than other brands.

I kinda remind myself of an older guy I once knew and unlike reminding myself of my old man this one is good.

I knew this guy for years growing up and I would say he is more than likely in his 80s now. He played a set of FC-4000s forever and had some sets in reserve. Putted with a beat to crap Ironmaster. About 10 years ago now I was visiting up in Charlotte ( my home town). My bud and I were going to play a public course there. Up at this old school club house on the porch sat a raggety Spalding canvas carry bag with a well worn set of FC-4000s. LOL I knew who it was and I set my VIPs beside it. At the time had them in my travel bag which was a Cleveland Stand bag. I looked for him in the club house but found him outside. We got a laugh especially when I told him I knew whose bag that was. He told me he had a stinking suspicion of who owned the VIPs. Now he had went to metal woods because he said at his age he was giving up too much with the persimmon. I know back in the day he was a stick but never took things too seriously. He did not play with the big gamblers but played with the local Wednesday afternoon crowd and the Weekend Warriors. I remember one year in the City AM he shot 67 63 and walked away with the title.

I am a bag junky so I replace mine quite often and always seem to be buying a new one. Putting clubs in a new bag just seems to freshen everything up and I love that feeling.

My bag is 8 years old and I am looking for a new one.  I ride most of the time but try to walk 1 to 2 times a week with a push cart.  Cant make up my mind which bag to buy.

I still have a Sun Mountain four5 stand bag from from 2013.  Carried this bag for 6 years and still like new.

Now use a C130 with a year of use.  Hope it will last as long as the four5.

I have 5 bags; 2 Team Effort U of Ky cart bags, 2 Vice cart bags and 1 Perfect Practice stand bag.  Have been using the black/lime Vice bag for a couple years now, but hav3 a grey/lime cart bag in the closet for a backup….got it for $85 clearance at Walmart($270 bag).  The U of Ky bags are fine, oldest one is faded 8 years old, newer one is 5 years old. I put it in play usually for a few rounds during football & basketball season.

I’m on my third Ping carry bag in 26 years. My first was the late 90s version of the L8, then a Hoofer, and now a Hoofer Lite. All black and white. They’ve been so good I won’t even look at other brands when I need/want a new one.

Hi I’m Chris and I’m  a bag- ho. I don’t know how many bags I’ve bought in the last 40 years and I currently have 4. A 10 yo Ping Sunday bag great for half set practice. Current model  Ping Hoofer is my daily bag. Ok to carry, fits on  an MGI and ok in a cart. A 5yo Original Jones carry bag coz I like it and a current model Titleist staff bag that I had to have and is only good for putters. Don’t get me started on SC putters
