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.   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.

Mine goes by my wedges in the lower end of my bag, but I am from Canada so that would be North. Interested to see what the poll results come out with.

I've got a putter well on my cart bag, and I have my wedges and short irons closest to the putter well. I am from Wisconsin so in the North region

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.

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.

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.

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

I am from the south but spent a lot of time in the west and PNW.  Currently back in the south.  My putter has always gone at the bottom slot, next to my wedges.

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.

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...

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 if I had a full time caddy that carried my staff bag I'd put it with the wedges, but mine goes in the putter well.

Interesting. I am from Chicago put it in the top so it doesn’t get in the way of anything. That said, I have no recollection what I did in high school.

In the dedicated putter slot/hole in the bag???

But the question was  is it closer/with the driver or the wedges?

Longest to shortest, left to right. 6 way bag, none of this every club gets a home. Oprah saying it now, you get a spot and you get a spot and you get a spot! Driver gets one, then wood, hybrids X3, irons x4, wedges x4, putter gets it's own

And I'm from Southern North???? Hahahaha
