It's The Bag I've Always Wanted, And Now I Have It

Who wants to bet that my handicap index climbs from 2.3 to about... oh, 23? Haha..

You should have just put "New Texan" on the bag instead of your name. When/if I get a staff bag, it will say "Shades" on it.

You must get one... then when we play together, we can look like 2 idiots who can't break 90, but still have their names on their bags.

I'm serious... my wife and I are playing on Sunday, and she said "oh, you'll look like my teacher..." and I said "yeah, right until I duck hook one across the street.

OMG, you have just placed the crushing burden/expectations upon your back. There is no upside to this. You either look like a pompous ass or a hack wannabe. Your gratuity requirement for the bag boys has just doubled, your dole out of strokes per side has doubled, your handicap will likely double. You could have at least painted on "FPGP Advisory Staff Member" on it! I, being fearful of looking like a pro and playng like a joe, opt for a simple, neutral color, Callaway, mid-size, standbag that screams "leave me alone or might shank one into your testicles."

Well, the good news is that I just played my first 9 holes with the new bag and shot 32. The not so good news is that it was at a Hank Haney Executive Course with a par of 31. I did make a birdie on the first hole though, which made me think "all my game has been missing is a cool bag!"... a couple bogeys later, I realized that what my game is missing is a consistent putting stroke.

Congratulations and Happy Birthday!

You are now officially 'That Guy'. Go snag yourself some iron covers and you'll be all set.
