Not a bag I'd pay money to own, but it's a neat design.

 

[RealPretendPsychic]

That’s a cool story and the bag shows really well. I like the headcovers too.

 

[Elmave]

[Jeff Spicoli]

Different. I like it.

I like it quite a bit. Would totally rock something like that. It is different, but not tacky, imho. Dig it.

 

[Greg Kulbick]

Not something I would game, but I would keep it as a decoration if given one.

 

[MattyD-MPLS]

100% In for this one! Love when things are created from drawings by children.

There have been some for the St Jude event in memphis.

 

[GolferDad66]

Fun, but too busy for me on a bag.

 

[echico]

I like the idea behind it but not for me.

 

[mikeg_74]

I do not like it. Just a little too much going on for my taste

 

[hedley_lamarr08]

Cool looking bag. A lot of detail and great design but I don't think I would ever carry it. It has a great story behind it.

I bet Iona Turner is completely besides herself for this. So cool that a 17 y/o design was selected for this staff bag. I'd love to have one.
