These bags are very nice. Any do and don’ts for taking care of them after rounds? Specifically the white. 

Keep the bag away from your tires if you use tire shine. Lol I haven't had any issues yet besides rubbing it on my truck tire

I’m a big fan of just wiping everything down with a damp cloth and if you need extra cleaning help, mild dish soap is always my go to.

Finally found a Members Linkmaster Bag...I've been searching for awhile.  Never seen this color way, but it's growing on me.  I really wanted the Blue/White combo.

Man that looks really good! Any pics with clubs in it??

Can someone tell me if this bag has a strap to retain the legs if you use it on an electric trolley,  thanks

Yes there is a strap for the legs.

Can someone message me the cost of the members bag? 🍻

Retail should be $350.

I finally saw Linksmasters in person (Southern Dunes in Arizona had some in the pro shop) and they’re beautiful bags. The material isn’t thick and plasticky, like Vessel.

 

I’m definitely going to order one. I hate my Vessel Player 3.0 and think this might be perfect. Just need to decide on a color. For what it’s worth, for the budget conscious, Discount Dan’s can order them.

Wonder if there will be changes for the 2022 linkmaster bag?

I’ve got both, the Linksmaster is so much better all around and made with more durable materials.

Thank you for no one else running this up on me!!! Can't wait to get this!!!

Just got my canvas Linksmaster in. Any headcover recommendations that would coordinate well with this color?

Good looking bag! I know a ton of guys who have the leather ones (honestly at this point probably 50% of our members have one), but I've never actually seen one of the canvas ones. 

 

For headcovers I'd try to coordinate with the accent colors. Either tan leather or black leather. I would opt for leather headcovers as anything cloth will clash with the canvas material on the bag. 

[ND2005]

I’d go with a tartan plaid, from Seamus golf.  Would look great with the canvas

Awesome-looking bag. How’s the canvas quality? I’ve been debating between the green and leather canvas one and the slate or navy leather ones.

Canvas seems to be very high quality. I’ve only had it for a couple of weeks so I can comment yet on durability. I also have a white leather Linksmaster and the canvas seems much higher end and more unique.

Seeing the camel color in your pictures has me thinking that might be the way to go. It just looks fantastic. Please do keep us updated on the durability.

I have had the Canvas model since end of July, and am very pleased with it. Very high quality canvas but tough/durable if that makes sense. Definitely going to be my walking bag for the foreseeable future. 

As for what headcovers match, I find just about any color and material goes with it. It's a neutral color to begin with, so I have found anyting that clashes with it. The black trim doesn't pop out when you look at it, so that's never been a worry. I had the Camel and Slate on order, and canceled the latter after I received this one. 

[MK7Golf21]

Thing I don’t like about the looks, why do they put the stay dry zippers on the bag? Those always had a funny look to me. 
 

catalog for 2021 I believe was released early in year, probably the same for 2022. Want to see if they do any design changes

Have you had any trouble with the camel picking up scuffs or marks as you get it in and out of your trunk, or bang it up against anything? I try to be careful with my equipment but stuff happens.

 Nope, but I've been extremely careful with it. Have a small SUV and lay it long ways with one of the seats down so it doesn't really have a chance to hit anything. Also haven't and won't use it on a cart to avoid the strap rubbing it. Purely a walking bag and make it a point to be careful.

 

Have had it in the rain once and no issue either. As others have said, my only complaint is the water bottle pocket being way too tight.

I need one of these in my life 🤩

Gotcha, glad to hear it did well in the rain. Two more questions for you, if you don't mind, and anyone else please weigh in here too:

 

-- On the water bottle pocket ... I know everybody has said it's too tight. Any sense of what the largest bottle you could reasonably fit in there would actually be? 

 

-- And I know you're using it for walking only. I'm hoping this would be a bag that would work for me for walking and on a push/electric cart. I'd never use it to ride. Just wondering if you or anyone else has tried this at all, or whether you have expectations on how it would do. I have a Motocaddy M7.

Water bottle: I can fit the slim/tall 18 oz Yeti in there, or a normal sized 16 oz bottle of water. It is snug but not unworkable. 

 

Push Cart: I use it all the time on my clic gear, no problems. I also have used it plenty of times on a golf cart - it does okay-ish...its profile is too small so it has a tendency to shift around. If I crank the cart strap as tight as possible it is okay.

Just placed an order for a camel canvas Linksmaster member bag from DD's. Question for anybody who's bought one recently: How long did it take to ship? I didn't order any special customization.

[bjno1300]

Wow. Had ordered a white members bag thru DD’s and found out this morning order was refunded. Talked with them and was told titleist not even taking orders on the linksmaster til summer due to the backup in orders. Disappointing. Looks like might be time for an SL2 for this year

SF black camo links…

Oh wow, that’s where my order is through too. Did you get an email from them notifying you? When did you place the order?

I had a few friends order bags around Thanksgiving. They were using up the rest of their shop credit at our club before it expired. Two of the three have already received theirs, and the third guy's bag is on the way. All three were personalized as well.

 

Maybe ordering them via a club account instead of a retailer makes a difference? I believe that was their original intent with the Linksmaster anyway.

I did get an email and I spoke with them yesterday. I ordered it week after Christmas. I hope they weren’t mistaken as I bought an sl2 since they were on sale yesterday
