So this may be jealousy driven, but I saw this today and thought of your Titleist bag...and I had to get it haha. It was on sale, so I don't feel so bad

I own several Tour Edge Golf staff bags because the company sent me one (sometimes even two) at no cost every year for 5 or 6 years. As a Certified Tour Edge Fitter/Dealer, this is one of the “perks” that comes with the position. These bags are in my garage, filled with demo clubs, and the personal use clubs that they provide to their dealers every couple of years.

Yes I have 2 tour bags and 3 carry bags and every time I play I'm using a tour bag. It has more storage for all conditions and it Looks really Good !The stand bag is used for practice and club storage .....

I think which type of bag you have is a matter of choice and should not be criticized.  If you show up at a course that has caddies, with a staff bag, they will automatically take out your clubs and put them in a caddy bag to make their day easier.  That is what they did to my lightweight carry bag when I was at Cabot Cliffs prior to it opening to the public a number of years ago, when I could walk courses.  Due to medical issues, carts only now, which limits me playing some courses.  I have four Titleist golf bags; a retired Midsize that I use to store my extra set of irons, putters, driver/3 wood and wedge, my tournament/events Midsize bag that has my name and TT logo on it, my Cart 14 bag for everyday play, and a lightweight carry bag that I take when I fly that has my name and TT logo, which fits in my SKB hard case travel case and meets all weight and size limitations (for traveling Delta on AEX Golf card, travels as a piece of luggage).

I have a staff bag, Nakashima, personalized! I do NOT give a CRAP what anyone else thinks of me if/when I use it! Couldn’t care less. It’s very rare I use it anymore since I don’t play anything Nakashima, but it’s a one-of-a-kind and it is the EASIEST for pulling clubs by FAR.

Well said.  Life is about choices.  Could not agree with you more as stated in my post.  Hakuna matata.

When I was in England and Scotland last year, caddies did not remove my clubs nor did they change bags, as I took only my Snell-logo 5 lb. Sun Mountain carry bag with me. At most courses that I played the caddies were fighting with each other (verbally, at least) to be the one to carry my bag.  Since I have carried and walked the course for more than 95% of my rounds until this year (now, I use a battery-powered walking cart), I had one of my lightest-weight bags with me (the other is a Stitch stand bag, but it is stiff and the pockets are near-impossible to access), because I knew that we would have caddies for every round over there.

... I have owned 3 from when I was on Staff with Tommy Armour, Wilson and Titleist. I only used them when teaching and never when playing. I gave away my Tommy Armour and Wilson bags but keep the Titleist from the 1990's for holding clubs:

Yep both of mine were from my later mini tour days------ I had a bag and ball deal with Titleist since our shop was a Titleist dealer.

Yep I have the same attitude. Right now depending on what putter I am using there is not a Titleist club in the bag. LOL even in the mini tour days I had a ball and bag deal only and not one Titleist club in the bag unless I threw a certain Vokey in. Nakashima have not heard in a long time in fact I still have a driver head. I was long with that thing but could not keep it in 3 fairways but I loved the way it felt. And yes a mini staff or staff bag is the easiest for pulling clubs by far

I have a SWAG staff bag (Vessel) that I bought thinking maybe I'd replace my 12yr old C-130 with but then when I got it and really started inspecting it I decided it would be too big to be practical on a cart and too many of the pockets are on the "wrong" side and would be inaccessible.  Then I considered trying to flip it, but was too lazy to ever list it, although I still may but it's so good looking it's hard to part with.  It's currently sitting in the basement holding a bunch of clubs that are either temporarily or permanently out of my bag.

[Triple_Putt]

Don't own one, but I want one!  Once I get my basement permanently setup to be more of a bar/man cave/putting area I want to get one to store the few extra clubs I have.  One day!

Yeah, those Nakashima heads were LONG! I was fitted for my last one in Palm Springs and got to know John Nakashima personally. I’ve been in contact with him since and keep asking for a new driver head design, but he’s pretty much sticking to bowling stuff. Yep. Bowling!!! Longest drive I’ve ever hit was with this NTec head, House of Forged Express shaft at 47”, BUT, like you experienced, I could NOT keep it on the planet consistently. I even switched to a Fubuki Alpha shaft at 45.75, but it was a no-go. Went forever…

The Vessel stuff is next level. They just do everything better. My carry bag is a Lux Lite and it's the best carry bag I've ever seen, let alone owned.

I won Matthew Fitzpatrick's 2021 Masters Staff Bag .  He left one of his Titelist golf balls in the bag and it is signed.  Very Cool Bag !

[Parshooter36]

I have one that I won in a contest years ago.  I used it the weekend of the event, but once I got home it became my excess putter holder.  I don't have the game to show up to the course with a staff bag with my name on it.

[The Mad Bomber]

I finally got the sticks loaded up!

[Kanoito]

I won this limited edition Gust O' Wind from Cobra for 2022 Masters...

Still in pristine condition, wanted to sell it and donate the money for Ukrainian refugees, but found no buyers.

So still sitting in my basement holding old clubs. I wouldn't use it on the course though, hard to fit it in the trunk with 2 other bags and push carts.

That bag is gorgeous, surprised you couldn't find a buyer

[Fongle]

Yep, picked up a Wilson Staff 2019 Pro Tour bag off of Marketplace a year ago, and it's where my clubs live at home in my office. Occasionally it goes out to the course, but it's mostly just to look pretty with my clubs in it at home. It's big and red and ridiculous and I love it. 

 

[Josh Ross]

I have a Mizuno staff bag that was a steal on Mercari. Was just browsing around and saw it ridiculously cheap so I picked it up. I have a den caddy and the mini den caddy pen holder from Mizuno as well so I have the whole family, haha. I just use the staff bag as a man cave piece and it has my two sets of Mizuno irons in it.

[Nolan220]

I think we all can agree staff bags do look cooler 

[Jwhite86]

I have a Taylor Made 510 staff bag that I loaded with clubs from that era

510TP

V-Steels

RAC Combos

Mezza Monza 

 

Also have a XXIO staff bag that has a set of Nikes of it

 

And a Srixon that houses my 765's

[JudgeSmails]

I have one that's just for show and holds extra clubs....way too heavy and bulky for the course, at least in my opinion

[Rosey31]

I have both my old staff bag from 15 years ago and a new stand bag. I still use both depending on what I am doing at the course. If I'm playing riding or walking a push cart it's the staff bag. If its just a practice session it will be the stand bag. 

[ChuckZ]

Yes.  I have two Titleist midsize staff bags.  One with my name and TT logo on it and the other is plain.  The one with my name I take to events.   

[JerryB]

I came across a staff bag last year at a garage sale and passed on it.  I'm kicking myself about it now because I would love to have a large bag to hold all my extra clubs.  Doesn't seem like it would be very fun to lug around, though.  Definitely wouldn't fit in my truck, anyway.

[The Mad Bomber]

One more, I finally got it monogrammed and it’s ready for the Men’s Open this weekend!
