The Prototype Sunday Bag

[HardcoreLooper]

It's taken a while, but the prototype of the sunday bag my mom has been working on is done and ready for use.  Mom has actually been done with her part for a while, but I needed to add a strap to create a divider - more to give the bag better balance than anything.  So riveting in that one piece was my contribution. 

The main fabric is a really cool brushed nylon that feels like canvas but has a rubber backing.  The trim is PU leather, and I'm interested to see how it holds up.  

I won't be walking any of the resort courses I'm playing this week (long trips from green to tee), but I can't wait to throw half the Hogans in there and go for a walk.  

This one is the first - we'll see what the next one brings.

That's a good looking bag.

First round with the bag today. 

Pros: 

• It's insanely light
• The webbing strap with shoulder pad is super comfortable to carry
• It's insanely light

 

Cons:

• The rubber-backed nylon does not have enough body to stand at all - it needs a stay
• The toggle-button looks so good as a pocket closure, but it doesn't keep balls from spilling out
• It needs a water bottle pocket 
• It needs a rangefinder pocket
• The PU leather trim around the top has no body; the bag is nearly two-dimensional when you carry it

Even though there's more cons than pros in number, it's a great start and I really enjoyed playing with it. I haven't carried 18 holes in about 15 years. 

And there really is something to playing with a half set. I can't wait to take it back out.

It's not too heavy. I don't know why I wrote that.

Very cool. “Prototype” implies there is more to come....?

Last spring my daughter and I made a bag (chronicled here somewhere).  I found the biggest challenge was finding a good balance point for the strap to carry, some kind of divider, and we made the main pocket an interior one and it should have been exterior. Needs a firmer base. But it is a one of a kind and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Gets lots of looks wherever I go.  

I get the “two dimensional” comment. Same challenge. 

Those brown leather pockets look cool. Looks inspired by a Seamus fescue project bag. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
