Euro target practice
I go through more golf bags than I should. It's true. For the last 4 or 5 years, I've changed every season.
Bit of background - I walk every round. The weather in Scotland is changeable to be kind. For instance, 5 days ago it was just about 70 degrees (unheard of here, for March!) and yesterday it was 39 and snowing. So, I need a bag that can stand up to just about any conditions. It only tends to rain about 5 days out of 7 usually, so a bit of waterproofing can be handy.
My last bag was a Wilson Deep Red stand bag. 6 way divider, basic and that's about it. I got frustrated with it. The material at the top of the divider came away pretty early, making it tough to get clubs in and out without a fight. Snagging was a major issue too.
So, a few days ago I wandered into my local range (any of you Scottish guys, Bearsden Golf Range) and started chatting to one of the pros. He told me they were having an anniversary sale. So, I picked up the H2NO stand bag at a real bargain - probably about the same price as a good stand bag by most other companies.
The reason I was drawn to it was that it oozes build quality, and it was nice and bright! I'm attracted by shiny objects, yes. Just picking the bag up and looking it over tells me that it's a great quality piece of equipment. The kicker for me is the fully waterproof guarantee (when used with the rain hood, of course). The convenience of knowing you have dry towels and gloves in the bag is worth the little extra.
Here's some spec -
