"no, no. I'm a traditionalist so I walk the course, plus it's great exercise. Now, do you have a stand bag that I don't have to bend over to pick up?"
Having said that, which bag is that and where do I buy it? | |

Having said that, which bag is that and where do I buy it? | it's a Ping Hoofer Extreme. I really do like the raised strap simply because there's no hassle of getting the two tangled up. I prefer walking not because I'm a traditionalist or the exercise, but because I really probably play about 4 strokes better that way because I stay more calm out there. However, I can't imagine ever walking without the backpack strap system. For undergrad graduation i got a $150 gift card to a local independent pro shop and didn't use it for over a year because I couldn't come up with anything i just had to have and it had to be a one time expense. Finally settled on the new bag. | |
