Rob,
If you don't see how a $750.00 golf bag doesn't rate a little comedy, especially in these times, then I don't what to say to you.
But I will say that you should read the thread, I never said don't buy one.
I have said this:
"No knock on the quality though, the bag will last you a long time",
..and:
"If you're someone who already has a big heart and can afford it, buy away"
.......and even though I didn't pay for it, I did mention that I have an old one from the Jacobsen days that is still being used, but not by me.
I appreciate that the USGA has a walker’s program and that that there are several societies like yours who have followed them in that pursuit, the values of playing golf afoot are well known and should be promoted.
I don’t see using GCA as a promotional tool to drive traffic to other sites or to make sales pitches for products as a particularly good idea, and that type of activity was always frowned on at this site. Lately GCA is sounding more like a mini golf expo than an architectural site. The amount of commercial activity has increased significantly in the past year, much more than the casual poster who creates a topic lauding his favorite bag, or wedge, or shoe, and much more than I’ve seen in the 9 or so years that I’ve been here.
I think the 'info-mercials' should remain on the Golf Channel.
Like it or not, that’s my opinion.
p.s. You will never “find any of (my) very good $50 sunday bags available for sale on (this) site” because I prefer not to mix business and pleasure.
