After reading the thread about old discs that used to be hot, I started thinking about my old DG bags. Which ones were popular where you played?
My first one was the round canvas bag from Discovering The World, I think I got it in '85 or maybe '86.
Then in '89 I went to work on building a couple of hotels in Los Angeles and got to play several courses there. When I visited Morley Field, I bought a cool new bag from the Pro Shop there. I remember it being a camo-type color, and it was more of a square shape. Seems like the brand name was Sierra-something. I felt like a celebrity being the only one in my area with a bag that wasn't canvas and round.
Then the Wall City bags came out. Boy did things change then. Mostly nylon bags with lots of color combos, different sizes, shapes, and styles.
After those flooded the DG market, I started using different kinds of bags, usually a duffel type, that I would get at camping stores (like REI). I guess I just like to be original, not follow the crowd.
After several years of that, I finally bought a Texas Team bag from Revolution. I bought it before Worlds in 2004 and still use it to this day. It has held up great with minimal wear and tear.
