Still looks just as good on the cart IMO!

Utility users, has anyone had a problem with the stand leg closest to you while walking using both straps being too loose and tapping against the underside of the bag? I'm a new user and I get a constant tapping while walking down the fairway. If I hold the leg, it's fine, and if I push down on the bottom end of the bag with my left hand while walking the sound seems to dissipate. Any one else have this issue? Solutions other than get over it?

I’m pretty tempted to get one myself. They just look so narrow and afraid it’s difficult to get my clubs in without smashing the grips and scratching my shafts. Am I paranoid or is this really an issue? Any feedback is appreciated.

I’ve only had this happen with an over full bag and not picking it straight up to start. If I straighten the bag, make sure the clubs are in all the way, then pick up, never a problem. The stand mechanism must bind with the clubs a little mid bag. Personally I never really liked the whole stand system with the uneven base, so back to the Players Bag...

I've had it happen a few times and haven't exactly figured out what causes it. I often listen to music while playing and often use a push cart, so I can deal with the occasional thump.

I have my first Jones on the way. I got the green/white. Pics up when it arrives. I'll use it with my hickory set.

Jones just posted three new colors of the utility bag on their instagram story. Navy, dark gray and light gray.

I saw that. The new colors look good. I think I still prefer the red handle on the light gray over the new black handle, but both look good.

Finally, Santa got here!

Ordered navy red white original with some stitch knit head covers. Can’t wait for arrival, will post pics as soon as it arrives. Walk about 80% of the time, anxious to see how the single strap works for 18, may go to a double if awkward.

[Tommy56]

Anxious to see real world pics of that bag and head covers ... I almost ordered that color combo before settling on the black/white original. I had an opportunity to walk 18 before the weather got cold and liked the single strap. The strap is very wide, well padded, and with the lightweight of the bag, it's easy to carry.

I know it's probably blasphemous...but I put an izzo double strap on my Jones Utility. Made it a better bag IMO.

Nah. It's perfect! Back in the 1980's we all switched the straps on the Jones bag. Or added a second strap. The origional one would kind of fall apart on the underside. I have always liked the thin strap, which is why I like the Players bag today...

Does anyone have any discount codes to spare here? Really like the look of the utility bags.

Two opportunities for “deals” - wait for Black Friday (now awhile away) where the last 3 seasons they've had 40% (almost) everything

 

Also, they occasionally have a randomized bag deal, where you buy for a deeply discounted price but don’t get to pick which bag you get (typically one with a logo that was returned).

 

Beyond that, I don’t recall much vis-a-vis sales / discount deals for Jones

Last year around this time, I took the chance on the grab bag. I got a black and white Original, no logo or flaw I could discover. Great bag, walked a lot of golf, I used it all season, and it's still like new. Just a damp cloth to clean what little dirt it did pick up.

 

Worth the wait.

I had an old carry bag break (Ogio Shredder) in the middle of a recent golf trip. The shop had very limited selection in stock this time of year (awaiting 2018 models) and I wound up with this Jones bag. It has a very high quality premium feel with an excellent pocket layout. However, it is on the small side. It holds 14 clubs OK when walking but I wouldn't recommend it for cart use, it's just too small to get clubs in/out easily.

 

Nice padded double strap setup, but seems more designed for single strap use. Received some complements from caddies on the trip. The buckle adjustment is not as easy to dial in on the go as a backpack style or a Ping carry double strap.

 

Now that I'm home, I will be using my Ouul super light as my everyday bag. I do a mix of walking/pushing/riding, and the Ouul is lighter and it works well enough on a cart. The Jones has more style and the Jones straps are way better due to the thicker padding. I just wish the Jones bag was a little roomier inside.

Has anyone seen a deal lately/know of one upcoming for a Jones bag? looking to get one for the upcoming season

I'm hoping the Jones blind draw happens soon.

How often does that typically occur?

It usually happens once a year. I believe last year was in the first quarter of the year.

Took mine for a walk yesterday.... first time I tried to walk it, my back was in bad shape after only a few holes... yesterday, totally fine and shot 75. Without trying to sound like a tool, it really was a different kind of round walking with that setup... really enjoyed it. Almost gave up on it but has now become my gamer bag.

Pulling the trigger on a Greyson, I love the pattern.... anyone willing to give suggestions on which Seamus headcovers you think would look best or does this deserve its own topic? I am a huge fan of Houndstooth patterns FWIW

 

EDIT: Kinda like the idea of the Herringbone on Herringbone look, but may not provide enough contrast.

I like the Hebridean Mist with a darker liner for a subtle contrast for more contrast with a touch more color I like the Doune. Then there is the obvious herringbone or Tweed even the Melton.

Has anyone seen the Masters embroidery this year? It was offered this time last year and I missed it.

Thanks

Would you do all 3 the same or mix? I really like the Doune as well.

Would love a Masters themed bag
