Very interesting... is that really 100% Innova distance and fairway drivers and 100% Discraft mids and putters?

I didn't read the whole thread if this has been mentioned before.

Yes, but not really intentionally. I think that is just a reflection of the time I've been playing and the backup stock I've accumulated over that time. I've tried various molds from a variety of manufacturers and just never found anything I like better than the ones I'm used to.

Honestly, they all fly the same. So, it's not that I think Innova or Discraft are superior in any sense. It's just that I've built up backups of these molds over the years & trust how they fly/react to wind.

Starting to miss the freedom of a bag. So, I'm back to the GripBX for a bit.
23 still seems excessive...

* I don't need to carry 2 putters for C1, but I like to use 2 for warmup, and it just seems silly to go back to the car after practice putting at most courses.

I actually sold my cart and went back to a bag myself. Just seems quicker and easier. I also use the Grip BX (BX2?) but not sure I could even get 23 in my bag. I might be a little more putter and mid heavy though.

WATER
My Hydroflask and Yeti thermos are great for keeping ice frozen. Pretty bad and being light weight and allowing ice to melt into drinkable water during the summer. Switched back to Nalgene bottles and experimenting with filling 1/2 and freezing over night, filling with ice and allowing to melt, etc. So far, it is a lot lighter, but the ice does melt pretty quickly in Midwest humidity. Cool water is fine, warm water is not...

...looking forward to receiving my new bag in ~8 weeks

WATER
Nalgene's are working well! I find that if I fill them up with ice and pre-refrigerated water (we keep water bottles in the fridge) the (2) 32oz bottles of water/ice is good for 2.5-3 hour round in 100° weather without melting and getting warm.

Coming from a hot climate as well I will say that the extra $$$ on the 32 oz Hydroflask compared to the a standard Nalgene is well worth it. Having (truly) icey cold water hours into rounds in 100+ real feels is must imo.
