cnosil Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Saw this Twitter post from Jim Furyk and thought it would be an interesting topic for the forum I learned to play in Virginia so I am South and the putter goes by the wedges.

EasyPutter Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 3 minutes ago, cnosil said: I learned to play in Virginia so I am South and the putter goes by the wedges. How about you? It actually depends on which conveyance my bag is loaded onto. If I am on a riding cart then the putter well is at the back and the clubs are from shortest length to longest for the design on the Sun Mountain C130 bag I use. Once I have it loaded onto my push cart then the bag leans in the opposite direction, to keep the metal clubheads from damaging the graphite shafts the clubs are reversed to putter well on top, Drivers next to it and then going to shortest clubs by the carry strap on the back of the bag. To protect the big dogs from the putter metal mallet head, the putter cover is used whenever the club is put into the bag and not removed until the putter is out of the bag. I answered the survey as the bag is currently loaded, for indoor simulator golf where the clubs by the putter well are the wedges.

GolfSpy_APH Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Mine goes by my wedges in the lower end of my bag, but I am from Canada so that would be North.

PBH3 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I always kept my putter with my driver, but when I got a new Ping Hoofer bag last season the dividers changed from 4 spaces in my old Hoofer to 5 spaces I moved it to the bottom with the wedges in the largest space.

null Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I would never buy a bag that doesn't have a dedicated putter slot going forward, but in the past it went with my driver. GolfSpy_KFT and Gripit 2 Quote Link to comment
G56788 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Northerner here. When I started playing, the putter was with the wedges (or I should say wedge. I only had one). At some point, I think when everyone else on my high school golf team had it by the driver, I moved it there. High school social capital is too valuable. My reputation couldn’t survive being on the golf team AND having a putter in the wrong place. PBH3, GolfSpy_KFT, KC Golf and 2 others 1 4 Quote Link to comment
Kenny B Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 It's not with either; it's in the middle between driver and wedges. My carry bag is a 5-way; woods go in the top slot; 4-6 go in the left middle slot; 7-9 go in the left bottom slot; PW, SW, LW go in the right bottom slot. My putter gets the right middle slot all to its own. Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment
MWL_9 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 When I had a smaller grip on the putter, I had it top right - next to the driver (preferred spot, esp when walking), but since switching to an oversized grip, it fits much better in the bottom middle slot Quote Bag: Big Max Dri Lite Summit Black/Red Driver: Callaway GBB Epic - Project X HZRDUS Smoke Green Small Batch "Hulk" 3 Wood: Callaway Epix Max - Aldila Ascent Red 2 Iron: TaylorMade Stealth UDI - LA Golf A Series Hybrid 4-AW Irons: TaylorMade P790 - KBS Tour 120g Stiff (1/4" long, 2* upright) 54* & 58* Wedges: Callaway Jaws MD5 Putter: Mizuno M Craft I Blue Ball: Vice Pro Plus Link to comment

CarlH Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I am from the south but spent a lot of time in the west and PNW. Currently back in the south.

MattF Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I only buy bags with putter wells. BTW, Furyk's theory is wrong, kind of. I live in Ohio (north) but IF I HAD to use that bag, my putter would go with the wedges. However, the argument could be made that I'm from the south originally....the deep deep south. silver & black and EasyPutter 2 Quote In the bag: Driver: TSR2 Project X HZRDUS Black 5.5 Fairway: Apex UW 19° & 21° Project X HZRDUS Smoke RDX Black 5.5 Irons: JPX 923 HMP 5-PW UST Mamiya Recoil 95 F4 Wedges: T-22 Denim Copper 48°, 52° & 56° UST Mamiya Recoil 95 F4 Putter Sycamore 005 Wide Blade Bag: Alpha Convoy 514 Balls: Chrome Soft X Cart: CaddyLite ONE Ver. 8 God Bless America, God save the King, God defend New Zealand and thank Christ for Australia!

KC Golf Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Candidly I have never really thought about it, but I always carry and so I find my Putter more easily in the top slot with my driver in my Titleist bag. Even before that with my other bags like Cobra, Ping, Sun Mountain, Nike, its always in the top spot. Most are 4 - 6 way. Always a North guy, but did go to grad school in the South. But I can't recall noticing guys in VA having their putter down below. But I can't say that I looked out for it...

GolfSpy TCB Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Mine is in the top of my bag with the driver. I'm from the North (Washington State), but live in the South (Houston)... Moved it around to find a better solution... but ended up back where I began. I have a Motocaddy bag with a dedicated putter well, but it shares space with the woods in my every day bag (Titleist Hybrid 14) .

Well, most bags I see / know of put the driver / woods at the top of the bag and the putter well at the bottom / front (cart bags), so... dedicated putter well in the front where most people keep wedges I guess.
