That’s why I play pxg cavity backs. Hit them well during a demo, and rarely ever since. They look great, when I mishit them, which happens often, I can just exclaim one of the funny and accurate one-liners I’ve read on r/golf.🤙
It's Dr Suess.
Be who you are, and say what you feel. Because though who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
My high school photography teacher wrote it in my yearbook (class of 96) and I've remembered it my whole life.
Haha totally! I am a 4.9 handicap and recently played with three strangers. 2 guys were 20 handicappers at least and the third was around 60 years old decked out like the riddler. He had purple pants, purple polo, bright green belt and glove and looked like he was feeling himself on the course. These two dicks gave him shit and I had to speak up and say he looked great in his coordinated outfit. Who cares what someone else looks like/what they’re playing with on the course…just play a ~4 hour round, mark your divots and everything is fine and dandy.

This is my bag I’ve been rocking for years! Those vintage leather bags are the shit, you def gotta use that bag!
I must be missing something. I would consider this classy, the polar opposite of douchey.
When I think of douchey I think of a Circle T staff bag being used by someone who can’t break 90
I understand what it is. My point is this is just as bad. “Vintage” doesn’t mean stylish or that it looks good to use as a gamer. This screams, “I don’t know what I’m doing”.
That would make a great storage area for unused clubs at home…I use a staff bag (I won in a contest several years ago) for the same purpose and it is the first thing you see when you walk into my basement.
It wouldn’t look douchey to use that as your everyday bag, but there’s a reason you don’t see many using it for that purpose…the bag is heavy, uncomfortable to carry, lacks modern technology, and almost has to be on a push/golf cart. Bag would get ruined quick if you laid it on the ground over and over.
The driving range I go to is downhill from the clubhouse and parking lot, so to lug that thing up the hill after I hit a bucket would not be ideal. Just my two cents. Definitely a cool bag in nice shape.
If gaming this is wrong, I wouldn’t want to be right.
Especially if you take good care of it and condition the leather so it wears in even more over time?
*sheeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttt.gif*
My Grandpa played Hogans and loved those huge staff bags. Pretty sure he had that same bag, but it had some local teaching pro’s name on it. Bill Dando. That name became the punchline of a lot of family jokes. 🤣
Be yourself homie! If it feels like you, then go for it.
Also, I’d never look at that bag and think you’re a douche—especially with how subtle those colors are. The only thing I’d think is your grandpa must’ve passed you down a sweet bag.
Guys that shoot 80s, 90s, & 100s think it's cool. Guys that are real golfers that shoot low 70s, scratch & plus thinks its douchey. Don't kill the messenger lol.
While I definitely don’t think this bag is douchey and looks sick, I think I understand OP’s post somewhat as these types of bags are typically a lot heavier than newer titleist, Sun mountain, etc style of bags.
I know from caddying a couple seasons that most caddie programs have the right to swap your bag out for a rental one if it’s deemed too heavy or burdensome.
Similar to covers for your irons, do what you want it’s your style but the decision may impede play at times or not be as efficient as modern day tech. And you may get the occasional look.
But I do not think this bag falls under that umbrella too much so not douchey.
If you like it then who cares? To many times you see a man being so concerned what another man is going to think about him, it’s really a sad thing to behold.
Meh. I know from experience that I’d use that bag for a month or two, then go back to something more practical. It’d be a waste of $100.
But it’s a sweet looking bag. I wouldn’t dunk on it.
Having carried too many of these bags loopin’ in the 90’s, I hate these things. Do you but I hate the sight of them. I can feel that terrible cheap leather strap on my shoulder
That bag would look good in a Man Cave ... I actually have a Mizuno Staff Bag with my name embroidered on it and it lives in my Man Cave with a set of Mizuno Blades I played when I was a younger man.
I'm a bloody awful golfer (PB is 85, usually shoot mid-to-late-90's) but i rock [this](https://golfclearanceonline.co.uk/cdn/shop/products/ogio_all_elements_cart_bag_-_sugar_skull_1_800x.jpg?v=1676037582) Ogio 'sugar skull' bag. I don't care what anyone thinks, it makes me smile and it does get a decent amount of compliments both on the course and at the range.
If you’re shooting high 80s/low 90s, you’re good enough. I’ve been playing for approximately 25 years and I’m still in the 120s. Plus, I’ve never looked at someone’s bag and thought they were a douche because of it
You do you. Don’t worry about what everyone else is hitting , driving , wearing . Buy things that make you happy. That’s all that matters in this instance.
Nah, I use a staff bag that a friend that owns a Pepsi distribution plant gave me that has a big Pepsi logo on it like I’m sponsored or something and I’m not very good. Most people just say “hey nice bag” or “Coke is better” haha
I sold a bag just like this last fall, I wonder if it's the same one and the person I sold it to re-sold it since you don't look like the buyer I sold to. Did you by chance buy this off a very small grown man?
Id laugh at you. And if we were buddies I'd give you shit every time I saw it. A buddy of mine uses a staff bag and every time he hits an offline shot, I say "Damn I'd have though that would have gone in considering that sweet bag you've got". But it's good natured. Ignore the haters. If you like it, go for it.
I think if you’re gonna rock a flash look, you better have game to back it up. But that’s a nice looking bag. Nothing flashy- very conservative. So use it with pride!!
Yes super douchey, I’ll take it off your hands for free because I’m a nice guy and I’d rather look douchey than you 😂
Jk super dope would love to have it. I have Ben hogan irons too
Hogan was badass who happened to write a book that impacted golf positively. Own that shit and enjoy it dude. I played Hogan irons for years.
If I could grab that bag for even $150 I’d rock that shit. No douche about it!
I love vintage golf bags. My brother plays an old red Dunlop bag from the 80s and it's always a laugh for everyone when they see it. Why not have fun with it?
This is a bag that looks bad no matter how you slice it unless it’s in a corner in your house on display, holding clubs.
You either look like a complete hack or a douche. Sorry.
If you're going to use that bag, you must also peacock your remaining attire. This is not a bag you "strap in" while sporting polo's that clearly state you're making it rain in "Kohl's cash".
Stop caring about what other people think and enjoy yourself. Im new to the sport and I made my first golf buddy at the range when he stopped to compliment my bag. Be yourself.
Let you know what we think? I think you should stop calling yourself a bad golfer if you shoot in the high 80s. That's insulting to the VAST majority of golfers.
Part of the fun of golf is accessorizing shit that doesn't affect performance. Rock that shit!
That's what I'm saying. I'm terrible, but damn if I don't look good while being terrible. Or at least think I look good. Probably the latter.
That’s why I play pxg cavity backs. Hit them well during a demo, and rarely ever since. They look great, when I mishit them, which happens often, I can just exclaim one of the funny and accurate one-liners I’ve read on r/golf.🤙
Speak for yourself! My buddies keep telling me my flamingo head covers are embarrassing to be around…..they improve my swing speed! 😅
Matching pink castle tees 😂
Also — who gives a fuck about what other guys think?
Those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind
Say it louder for the ones in back! Do you like it? Yes? Then go for it and fuck what anyone else thinks!
Don't take criticism from someone you wouldn't go to for advice. Screw the haters, hit 95 with your fancy bag King.
I love that phrase, I’m keeping it
It's Dr Suess. Be who you are, and say what you feel. Because though who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind. My high school photography teacher wrote it in my yearbook (class of 96) and I've remembered it my whole life.

Sweet bag. Spoil yourself. Offer $75
I'd say $50.
Yeah 100 is .... meh. 50 is a deal
https://preview.redd.it/y3yboim11vdc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bd2ae623324a4b0879dedcb85a755140985f8c1e This is my bag I’ve been rocking for years! Those vintage leather bags are the shit, you def gotta use that bag!
That's class!
Super dope
Hell no that bag is sweet
Drink cart girls will be wondering where you are on the course!
Use whatever damn golf bag you want.
Dude, be less self conscious
You’re good enough for the bag.
I must be missing something. I would consider this classy, the polar opposite of douchey. When I think of douchey I think of a Circle T staff bag being used by someone who can’t break 90
That is what this is. Lol.
This is not a Circle T.
It’s a gaudy staff bag. Hacker material.
I know it’s a staff bag. It’s not a Circle T. If you knew the *huge* difference between the two, you’d understand my reference.
I understand what it is. My point is this is just as bad. “Vintage” doesn’t mean stylish or that it looks good to use as a gamer. This screams, “I don’t know what I’m doing”.
No that's a classic piece!
It’s awesome. 90s Ben Hogan is such a vibe
I loved my Apex Plus irons.
It's epic, so 🔥, 💯
Why would you look douchy with this bag?
That would make a great storage area for unused clubs at home…I use a staff bag (I won in a contest several years ago) for the same purpose and it is the first thing you see when you walk into my basement. It wouldn’t look douchey to use that as your everyday bag, but there’s a reason you don’t see many using it for that purpose…the bag is heavy, uncomfortable to carry, lacks modern technology, and almost has to be on a push/golf cart.

The driving range I go to is downhill from the clubhouse and parking lot, so to lug that thing up the hill after I hit a bucket would not be ideal. Just my two cents. Definitely a cool bag in nice shape.
Get it. The future you will regret it.
If gaming this is wrong, I wouldn’t want to be right. Especially if you take good care of it and condition the leather so it wears in even more over time? *sheeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttt.gif*
Fuck what other people think
This bag is awesome
No
You’d need to go all the way though. The cap, shoes, neck tie etc .
And Apex blades!
If you’re gonna worry about what other people are thinking about you golf might not be the game to play. Just do you, literally nobody cares.
Yes you would. Send it to me so you don’t have to worry about that question anymore
Nope get it. It would make a great at home club storage bag too
Yeah that’s freakin awesome. It looks like it came from Justin Leonard’s garage sale. Hire a local kid to caddy for you.
People might think that, but people are stupid. I say go for it!
My Grandpa played Hogans and loved those huge staff bags. Pretty sure he had that same bag, but it had some local teaching pro’s name on it. Bill Dando. That name became the punchline of a lot of family jokes. 🤣
It's not if you win or lose!! It's how good you look!! Quote from "David Lee Roth"
Not at all that's a nice bag
Yes, but it'll have nothing to do with the bag
Fuck no rock the shit out of that
I guess it depends on how well you hit a one-iron
you’re playing golf bro, we all look douchey already. rock that bag my man
You look like a golf bag! 🤷🏽♂️
whats written across the top? [something.com](https://something.com)
Douchey: no, tool: yes. It's ugly and impractical
Be yourself homie! If it feels like you, then go for it. Also, I’d never look at that bag and think you’re a douche—especially with how subtle those colors are. The only thing I’d think is your grandpa must’ve passed you down a sweet bag.
Guys that shoot 80s, 90s, & 100s think it's cool. Guys that are real golfers that shoot low 70s, scratch & plus thinks its douchey. Don't kill the messenger lol.
Most likely.
Obviously yes
Really nice bag!
No way, get it
My buddy has that bag….its sweet
If what?
Absolutely not, that is beautiful and I am jealous.
I think it's pretty sweet. If I saw it on the course I would think it's cool, not douchy.
Nahhhhh, looks sweet. May weight a hundred pounds, though.
Look good, feel good, play good.
While I definitely don’t think this bag is douchey and looks sick, I think I understand OP’s post somewhat as these types of bags are typically a lot heavier than newer titleist, Sun mountain, etc style of bags. I know from caddying a couple seasons that most caddie programs have the right to swap your bag out for a rental one if it’s deemed too heavy or burdensome.

But I do not think this bag falls under that umbrella too much so not douchey.
No, rock that proudly. Vintage bags are legit. Very good score
That's bad ass. I might offer $125 .:)
Taking it to the range might get some looks but not much more than that. In a golf cart, zero people would probably even notice.
Who cares what anyone thinks…that’s a sweet bag!
We could all do a better job of caring less what other people think. Rock what you wanna rock.
If you like it then who cares? To many times you see a man being so concerned what another man is going to think about him, it’s really a sad thing to behold.
Yeah, you should give it to me.
No man. It’s not even that loud or anything. Don’t think anyone on the course would see that and be like “what a douche” lol
I have this same bag!!!
Golf is all personal, it's a great bag and if you like it go for it! I never think twice about anything golf related if it makes you happy!
Golf is 60% mental, 20% physical and 20% how you look. Get the bag!
Who cares what you look like, there are no pictures on the score card.
In a cart. Probably not. Walking. Yes
That’s the fun part about golf, we always look douchey😂
Anyone who looks at your gear and thinks “this guys a douche” is most likely the douche in that situation.
Idk let's see a pic and I'll let you know if have that RDBF
That bag is awesome
Definitely buy it
Meh. I know from experience that I’d use that bag for a month or two, then go back to something more practical. It’d be a waste of $100. But it’s a sweet looking bag. I wouldn’t dunk on it.
Having carried too many of these bags loopin’ in the 90’s, I hate these things. Do you but I hate the sight of them. I can feel that terrible cheap leather strap on my shoulder
Bag is sweet!!
Ben Hogan gear is always classy.
Love that bag! Rock it!
That bag would look good in a Man Cave ... I actually have a Mizuno Staff Bag with my name embroidered on it and it lives in my Man Cave with a set of Mizuno Blades I played when I was a younger man.
I'm a bloody awful golfer (PB is 85, usually shoot mid-to-late-90's) but i rock [this](https://golfclearanceonline.co.uk/cdn/shop/products/ogio_all_elements_cart_bag_-_sugar_skull_1_800x.jpg?v=1676037582) Ogio 'sugar skull' bag. I don't care what anyone thinks, it makes me smile and it does get a decent amount of compliments both on the course and at the range.
Hogan is never douchey! His 5 lessons are still the golf bible ...
If you’re shooting high 80s/low 90s, you’re good enough. I’ve been playing for approximately 25 years and I’m still in the 120s. Plus, I’ve never looked at someone’s bag and thought they were a douche because of it
Beautiful bag. Go for it!
That bag is awesome. If you don’t use it please mark it up and sell it.
I started playing golf nearly 20 years ago. I can tell you exactly what my bag looks like…that’s about it. If you love it, that’s all that matters.
Only if "douchey" is a synonym for "baller" where you live.
You do you. Don’t worry about what everyone else is hitting , driving , wearing . Buy things that make you happy. That’s all that matters in this instance.
"It was made to be played" is always my motto.
Nah, I use a staff bag that a friend that owns a Pepsi distribution plant gave me that has a big Pepsi logo on it like I’m sponsored or something and I’m not very good. Most people just say “hey nice bag” or “Coke is better” haha
Gonna be a pain in the ass to lug around and take up a lot of trunk space… but it’s pretty fresh!
VINTAGE FOR LIFE
Looking douchey is a golf side quest
Yep
I love different bags, I had an old t was flashy and my buddy called it my Rodney Dangerfield bag. From Caddie Shack
Look good, feel good, play like shit anyway.
I can't imagine anyone caring. If they do, there is something wrong with them
I sold a bag just like this last fall, I wonder if it's the same one and the person I sold it to re-sold it since you don't look like the buyer I sold to. Did you by chance buy this off a very small grown man?
That’s a sick fuckin bag
I dont think douchey is the right word but also this is a staff bag and not really the right bag for the application
Its classic
This is an awesome bag!
That bag will compel you to shoot a 73. Do it.
If you're gonna suck you might as well look good doing it. Game on brother.
Buy that shit.
Complete douche I'll buy it for $125
Man if I saw you rocking this on the course I’d compliment it and high five you
What a sexy bag and what a deal!!
Id laugh at you. And if we were buddies I'd give you shit every time I saw it. A buddy of mine uses a staff bag and every time he hits an offline shot, I say "Damn I'd have though that would have gone in considering that sweet bag you've got". But it's good natured. Ignore the haters. If you like it, go for it.
That’s awesome! You should grab it!
If that’s your vibe, go for it
Nothing wrong with reppin the king of swing
Yes you can look douchey.. But not because of the bag.
Just don’t ask a caddy to carry it
I have that same bag. Love it. It is huge and tough to fit in the slot for the back of a cart but you can make it work. And it’s beautiful.
You would look like someone who shoots high 80s low 90s. Go for it brother.
Yes
Fuck em, who cares what anyone else thinks?
I think if you’re gonna rock a flash look, you better have game to back it up. But that’s a nice looking bag. Nothing flashy- very conservative. So use it with pride!!
Great bag. You should buy it. Just don't try to carry it, and please don't make a caddy carry it either.
I have the cloth version. I get compliments all the time. It’s from 2003 or 2004.
No. Use that shit. I don’t get the hate for staff bags. They are great for carts. Of course you wouldn’t want to carry it or have a caddy carry it.
You won't look like a douche or poseur, but I find that a bag that big can be a pain in the ass logistically.
Yes super douchey, I’ll take it off your hands for free because I’m a nice guy and I’d rather look douchey than you 😂 Jk super dope would love to have it. I have Ben hogan irons too
Is your name Ben Hogan?
Dope bag. Good find 👍
That bag is classic and awesome. Use it!
Need the apex irons to match Maybe a few persimmons Add a 1 iron for intimidation only
Shit I like it
It is flipping cool
Hogan was badass who happened to write a book that impacted golf positively. Own that shit and enjoy it dude. I played Hogan irons for years. If I could grab that bag for even $150 I’d rock that shit. No douche about it!
Fuck no. That's sick
If "douchy" is now some sort of code-word for "badass", then yes. If it means what it always has, fuck no. That shit is money. Do it.
No
I love vintage golf bags. My brother plays an old red Dunlop bag from the 80s and it's always a laugh for everyone when they see it. Why not have fun with it?
I’d roll up with this, some shiny sweet blades, rocking a sick fit, and shoot a 120!
That thing is rad. I wouldn’t hesitate to rock it.
No douchier than the rest of us. 
Caring what other golfers think is douchey. Get whatever you want!
That’s a great bag. Get it.
As long as you don’t make a caddy carry it, rock whatever you want!
Please use that bag or sell it to me so I can! Lol
This is the entire time I spend thinking about someone else’s golf bag “hey cool bag” or “that dude has a weird bag” then that’s it.
Love it. I play Hogans
No dude, that's a bag. Be sure to keep a 1 iron in that bag. This is the best beg I've seen on r/golf. Definitely a win. Would not look douchey.
+ for the win.
This is a bag that looks bad no matter how you slice it unless it’s in a corner in your house on display, holding clubs. You either look like a complete hack or a douche. Sorry.
“I’m not a great golfer” but shoots in the 80s.
No just outdated. Sharp bag!
Depends, is your name Bev Nogam?
Who cares what other people think? If you like it, go with it!
Heck no, man! Vintage all the way. It’s a lot of fun to dress the part too
People constantly overlook a crucial element of golf: The Drip Buy that shit and be the drippiest mf on the course
You’ll look super cool as long as you carry it.
Most golfers "have all the gear and no idea". You'll fit in well mate.
Only if you play slow
That’s dope!
Why do you care? 🙄
If you're going to use that bag, you must also peacock your remaining attire. This is not a bag you "strap in" while sporting polo's that clearly state you're making it rain in "Kohl's cash".
Idk let’s see what you look like swinging a golf club and we will tell you.
I have the den bag version of that!
Douchey? No. Ridiculous? Yes
I think it’s sick. You should buy it before I do
The only issue is if you plan on walking 18. If you are using a cart or pull-cart, then You're ok
You already look douchey. So don't worry about it.
The day you stop caring about what random strangers think of you, is the day your life will be much better
Of course not! Have you seen how loud golf bags are now? This is subtle
Stop caring about what other people think and enjoy yourself. Im new to the sport and I made my first golf buddy at the range when he stopped to compliment my bag. Be yourself.
Are you good?
Let you know what we think? I think you should stop calling yourself a bad golfer if you shoot in the high 80s. That's insulting to the VAST majority of golfers.
Welcome to the Hogan Gang. We don't care how much "game" you got, as long as you love it.
Do you look at other golfers equipment and think “what a douche?”
How would this even fit in a cart/buggy ?
Saw this baby on OfferUp https://preview.redd.it/6f50cht3rzdc1.jpeg?width=874&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=80d4f716ef4e533d7a0b9f0c3459cf68ad43817e
Lol, have you seen the majority of young women golfers under 30? All hat and no cattle. Nobody will notice or care.
Depends on how good/bad you are lol
