Divider padding worn down | Golf Monthly
I know a new bag is nice, but I now have four and buying new things instead of fixing or insisting on better quality is probably not sustainable.
Your OP should be framed by what kind of bag you have. Mine is a carry bag, so the construction is lightweight. Most golfers on here seem to insist on the tour style bag and new shoes or gear every year.
My wife's bag divider damaged her 200$ driver and it's down to poor bag quality. The dividers are made from the stuff you'd expect to cover a lightweight pair of trainers with. If it's not smooth, and it creates friction, then it's basically a rip-off, purposely manufactured to encourage throwing out and re-buying. Same with the rear heel inside of my (otherwise great) adidas shoes. The material should be smooth and frictionless, like they used to be.
We should not continue to accept poor quality, and we should not expect to buy a new bag every three years, because golf is a life long activity, no?
BTW I did fix a carry bag using multiple one inch velcro ties - something I think used to tether power cables together. It might not work depending on bag design. Or you may even need to rip out some of the 'length of the bag inner dividers' (which are a waste of time anyway), but it's very durable and is still intact 2 years later.
FYI: I also duct tape the area of the driver shaft most damaged, but have yet to find a better solution - such as some kind of tubing or very narrow bike tyre inner - now of course much easier to slide on if you have a driver with a changeable head.
