Bag Hooks - Good idea? bad Idea?

[eupher61]

Thing is, at a tee, I want to SIT on the bench, and I'd rather not have to ask someone to move their bag. The ground at a tee is usually the worst spot aside from the basket areas, so mud and gunk is worse.

I don't always use them when available, but I like them. Why not use them with Quads, for that matter??? That's the silliest excuse I've seen for not using a holder...

I like them at the tees. It's a good spot to double check your bag and you don't have to bend or squat right before your main shot for each hole. It's not much, but it saves your back some strain. I usually hang my bag off the sign, so a peg or hook would be cool. I think the only thing to watch for would be square edges. Use rounded edges on whatever type you use so there is no issue with snagging straps.

Lakewood Hills in White Bear, MN has bag hooks on a few holes. they are really nice actually. just make sure they arnt anywhere close to in the way. make sure there are at least 4 hooks for tournament play.

4 x 4 post about 4-5ft high. and four posts with braces extending 8-10 inches off the post. heres a picture i drew to illustrate. the "hooks" on them wernt the most durable. id attempt a different design thats a bit stronger. maybe just a round post put through the middle of each side would do it. or even puild the hooks outa 2 x 4 haha. i think of all sorts of ways to do it cheap.

Two for a $1.50 at Sears.......... avoid screwing them into pine trees, the sap leaks out and down the tree right where your bag rests when it's hung there.

could have used some todat, so muddy

I like having bag hooks, but they're certainly not something I need or expect at a course. My disc golf stuff has been muddy before, and I'm sure it will be again, so I don't worry too much about it.

love the idea wish they did it around here

I've only played 1 course with hooks, Valpo.... nice touch, but to be honest, i'm so used to putting my bag on the ground that I generally forget to use them...
:doh:
