I don't change golf bags very often. Then again, I don't get to play much golf either... at least as much as I'd like to. What, with work, life, family... everything gets in the way.
Anyway, I got my first golf bag when I was in my 20's. It lasted me for going on 20 years but I never really liked it. It did its job but I would always look at other bags when I was in a golf store. Fast forward to a few years ago and I got a nice TaylorMade bag from a coworker. He upgraded his bag and gave me his old one. I was happy. For a few years.
Last summer I was able to pick up a set of used clubs for my son because he's kind of interested in golf but didn't have a bag for him to use... so I picked up a new bag a couple of weeks ago online for around 1/2 price. I like it. I haven't gotten to use it yet but it's sitting in my garage waiting to go.
So, I'd say in about 30 years I've had 3 golf bags. The first one went to the landfill because it was toast; the second one is earmarked for my son (who's 16) and is sitting right next to my Bettinardi marked bag in my garage. (No, I don't have a Bettinardi putter...)
How often do you change golf bags and what do you do with your old one when you do switch out?
