Cart bag vs stand bag

My $.02 is use the lighter of the two bags. Walking a course is a lot more work than riding. Not in a bad way, but I'd be using the lighter bag initially and see how you like it.

Went from a cart to a stand bag and just went back to a stand bag (Callaway Org 14) and man on man I didnt realize how much I missed it.

That being said, when I walk I have a push cart.

---

If it's slightly windy and there is no stand available at the range, I have to lay the bag down because it will fall over.

---

I generally don't carry my entire bag to the range

I'll walk up with a PW, 9i, 7i and 5i and hit about 1/3 of the bucket starting with the PW
Take a break, get a feel of where I feel the most comfortable and grab the 8, 6 , 4 and Driver and hit another 1/3
If I'm feeling good, I am done. If not, I'll spend the last third working on whatever club or range I had some struggles with.

But that being said and thinking about it I think all of the ranges I would go to have stands for a cart bag even if I did want to take it.

I love the convenience of having more pockets to keep things like my rain jacket in my bag at all times, having a cooler in my bag to keep a PB&J and an apple cool, straps on the bag to keep it from rotating on my push cart, individual club dividers, a separate slot of my putter, cart strap pass, etc and at around 6lbs it isn't much heavier than my stand bag (Callaway Chev)

Vessel just launched the Player IV. I have the Player III DXR and it’s awesome. Apparently the 4 is a slightly improved (larger spaces and top to accommodate mid-size/oversized grips) and is less total weight. I highly recommend Vessel bags but do know that they have a reputation for not so great service.
