Testers Wanted: Bag Boy Cart/Bag and Travel Bag

Testers Wanted!

The MyGolfSpy Forum staff continually work to bring new and different testing opportunities to our Forum members. This Bag Boy test is an evolution of a prior test—with a twist. 

 About The Testing Opportunity 

Bag Boy offers products that are marketed to work together for a more seamless experience. This includes their cart and bags that have integrated Top-Lok technology. This technology is meant to hold and secure the bag in place to avoid that annoying shifting and sliding which some bags have a tendency to do during a round. 

For two fortunate testers, they will receive their choice of a golf bag and Nitron Auto-Open push cart. The Nitron push cart was reviewed last year and received favorable grades. The combination of the two will make for a compelling test to see how the Bag Boy technology functions across their products.

Travel bags

The second part of this member testing opportunity is for those who have travel plans on their upcoming calendars. We are searching for two golfers who have a golf trip planned within the next six weeks and are willing to put a new travel bag to the test. We want testers to put these travel bags through the rigors of packing, transporting and, of course, the inevitable airport mayhem. 

All of this will culminate in a review that will answer how much room these bags have, how they held up, how your golf clubs fit and were protected during travel, as well as their size, weight and feel.

Scheffler cards 66 after jail stint on 'chaotic' day

Scottie Scheffler's "chaotic" day that featured a brief morning stay in jail ended with the world's top-ranked golfer shooting a 66 at the PGA Championship.

Tragedy At Valhalla And Scheffler's Arrest

When one comes to the quality of the bunkers and other hazards we pass into realm of much dispute and argument. Primarily bunkers should be sand bunkers purely, not composed of gravel, stones or dirt. Whether this or that bunker is well placed, has caused more intensely heated arguments outside of the realms of religion, than has ever been my lot to listen to. C.B. MACDONALD

Police: Officer dragged trying to stop Scheffler

The police officer who tried to stop Scottie Scheffler from entering Valhalla Golf Club on Friday morning was dragged to the ground and suffered "pain, swelling and abrasions" to his left wrist and knee after the car accelerated, per the incident report.

After Arrest, Scheffler Shows Superhuman Focus With 66

In the past five weeks, Scottie Scheffler has donned a green jacket for winning the Masters, a plaid jacket for winning the RBC Heritage and an orange jumpsuit for getting arrested prior to the second round of the PGA Championship.

To call Friday morning’s events bizarre would not do it justice. It’s possibly the strangest incident we’ve ever seen prior to a golf tournament.

And despite it all, Scheffler compartmentalized like a champion, shooting a 5-under 66 just hours after an arrest that shook the sports world and sent Twitter ablaze with memes.

There is still confusion over exactly what happened outside Valhalla Golf Club in the early morning rain and darkness. We know that, tragically, a man was struck by a shuttle bus and pronounced dead on the scene around 5 a.m. Traffic around the course became chaotic and congested as emergency responders tried to reach the victim. The PGA of America announced in a statement that the man, John Mills, was a worker with an on-site vendor at the tournament.

About an hour later, Scheffler was attempting to get to the course in preparation for his early morning tee time. According to a report released by the Louisville Metro Police Department, detective Bryan Gillis was directing traffic when Scheffler pulled around stopped traffic. ESPN’s Jeff Darlington, who happened to witness the incident, reported that the stopped traffic included a parked bus that didn’t have a driver.

“Bear” With Me: Jordan Spieth’s Custom Under Armour Fit is Major-Worthy

Major championships are awesome. Great competition, fierce rivalries and, best of all, unique scripting and outfits. Heck, I’m probably more excited to see the custom outfits than watching the world’s best players struggling to hit out of the nasty Valhalla rough.

Players use majors like the PGA Championship to show off their best game and their best fits. This year, Jordan Spieth is doing a little bit of both.

Under Armour has Spieth kitted out in a custom Valhalla-themed polo and matching Drive Pro golf shoes. I’m not sure if it’s “un-bear-ably” cute or just darn cool. Either way, the pattern is made to pay homage to the Valhalla’s sixth hole, fittingly nicknamed “the Bear.”

Typically, I’m all for loud colors and whimsical patterns. That said, I think Under Armour did a great job at keeping the outfit subdued while still telling a unique story.

Themed gear like you see here from Under Armour is somewhat new to the brand’s repertoire. Whereas, in the past, they’ve opted for more traditional looks, they turned over a new leaf this year with a limited-edition Masters-themed release. My sources tell me Spieth’s PGA Championship fit won’t be the last — so look for another custom fit for the U.S. Open.
