I ORDERED MY LIFE MEMBERS GOLF BAG YESTERDAY AND WAS WONDERING IF ANY BODY HAS ALREADY GOTTEN ONE AND HOW DO YOU LIKE IT

Originally posted by: David Tijerina on 8/23/2006 11:18:26 AM

I've had mine about 3 yrs and have some
use beginning to show. The slot that I
I use for the putter is showing metal.
Have enjoyed it and have had many comments
about it. All to the good. Has lots of room
for just about anything you want to carry.

I want to thank you two for writting.they said 4 to 6 weeks before i would get the bag.it was on my porch saterday and it only took a week and a half.the only thing i was disappointed in was i already have a pga towel and they said i would get a burton towel to match the bag.o well it was free.the bag looks great.i really like the style of the bag.if any body else is thinking of getting one go for it.

I'm considering......what about the luggage set instead of the golf bag? 'cause I just bought a new bag last winter.

Originally posted by: Guard Bum on 9/6/2006 5:50:02 PM

How do you get the golf bag all I know about is the travel bags.

Originally posted by: DAVE C. on 9/6/2006 9:46:50 PM

if your a life member you should have gotten your travel bags.if not call the club.i don't know about the golf bag.all i know is you have to be a lifer to get it and it comes out to be 167 dollars.

I used one for a couple of years until my black bag turned purple and I started to have zipper problems. It's still around somewhere. I can't sell it since it has my name on it. I expected more from a Burton bag. Good luck with yours.

Originally posted by: mrfurious on 9/7/2006 10:12:15 PM

You should be able to sell it still. Just find another guy with the name skipro. Should be a piece of cake...

Originally posted by: Foz on 9/14/2006 11:31:41 AM

Which is the better value......the golf bag with your name on it or the 3-piece luggage set?

Originally posted by: DAVE C. on 9/14/2006 1:58:38 PM

the luggage is free with your life time member ship and you have a chance to buy the golf bag as a life member.i priced other cart bag out there and it's almost the same as any other top brand.

Originally posted by: Foz on 9/19/2006 9:30:03 AM

I thought.....if you register for the Life Member via online you get the luggage, else you get the golf bag via mail renewal.

I've seen it both ways.

Does anyone know the model of the bag?

Originally posted by: Invex Long Drive Champ on 9/20/2006 1:41:55 PM

I have the bag and the only thing I can see on the bag that might be a model name is "B.sport" which is located on the bag just below the carry handle

Originally posted by: x-15a2 on 9/20/2006 4:39:49 PM

PingZing and Invex Long,

First, welcome to both of you to the board and thanks for your posts!

If the bag says b.sport, it is a Burton Golf Bag, circa 2003. Does it look a little bit like this?

Originally posted by: DAVE C. on 9/21/2006 5:26:25 AM

it is a burton maxim bag.nothing like the one you pictured. it comes with the partners club life member logo stitched into it and your name on it.real nice and my friends think so too.to the other question about the luggage and the golf bag.ive done every thing by mail.it's not just though the online.

Originally posted by: MJ on 9/21/2006 7:15:33 AM

Sure would have been nice to get the luggage when I became a Life member, all I got was the travel bag and all the little trinkets. I guess that's what I get for joinning a long time ago................MJ

Originally posted by: x-15a2 on 9/21/2006 9:20:09 AM

jjj

Well, I knew that it was a Burton, that was the only b.sport product photo I could find. From what I can tell, they've dropped the b.sport line, don't see maxim listed on their site either, execept for 1 broken link. I found it interesting that Burton (certainly not the biggest name in golf bags) had over $10 million in sales last year. I'm in the wrong business!

By the way, Burton Golf was purchased by Forefront Golf, formerly Datrek Miller International, last week.

Took about 3 weeks to get mine. Looks good
I played a round last week, enjoyed bag, Seems to be well worth price.

Same here. Got the travel bag with golf towel and trinkets.
Haven't had much use for it, since I don't travel much.
It would have been nice to have the option to chose which item. (Golf bag or Travel bag) I could have used it back then. Has anyone bought the Leather Life member jacket?

I changed groups in my company earlier this year causing me to travel a lot for work. Coming home a couple Friday's ago, while waiting at baggage claim, lo and behold a Partners Club bag came out. This particular baggage machine had a raised conveyor belt, then a 90 degree turn left, short ride down, and another 90 degree right turn onto the main conveyor belt. The way the bag came down, the top almost got caught as another bag was coming around. I could see where the club heads could get bent or snapped off if the right circumstances occured. I wish now I had waited to see who claimed it to talk to the owner, but I was in a hurry to get home. After seeing that, I may just buy one of those big hard sided cases for my clubs for travel. Still, it did look cool.

tj,

I travel about 10 times a year with my clubs and have never had trouble at all. But my bag fits my clubs snug it is very padded at teh top. I have never been worried about my clubs using my Club Glove bag.

Originally posted by: Dennis B on 11/6/2006 6:32:05 PM

Where can you see the life member bag and order it, thanks

Originally posted by: TJDuffer on 11/7/2006 1:44:39 PM

It was viewable, along with other potential gifts, from the Home page. Scan down the left side and click on Life Membership.

GolfNducks...........just emailed you regarding the Travel Bag set.

Originally posted by: wdjoachim on 11/18/2006 3:38:30 PM

Sure great to know that only us old guys got a travel bag, and a few trinkets, and no luggage or club bag. I have used my travel bag on several trips and felt like it did a great job
of protecting my clubs. I did however see a
well padded travel bag at the Callaway Center
while in Las Vegas last month and it had nice
straps inside and out. It only costs $59.00 and
was considerably better than the Callaway bag
which cost $100.00 more. Thinking of giving my
PGA bag to the wife and buying myself the bag
I saw in Vegas. bj

Hey GolfNDucks,
I got the Travel Bag Set today.....everything is great! Might be awhile until I use it.....but I will use it.

Thanx

Originally posted by: golfNducks on 11/30/2006 9:15:45 PM

Glad you like it. As I was packing it I almost took off one of the bag tags an was going to keep it for myself. But I didn't.

Enjoy the bag(s).

Originally posted by: James Brown on 12/5/2006 8:13:58 AM

Do you get to choose the golf cart bag or the 3-piece luggage set? I was sent information for both items? I just joined as a life member.

Originally posted by: kweaver on 12/5/2006 9:44:35 AM

I too just signed up for life membership. I am getting the 3 piece luggage set. Has anyone got them. What about the other benefits?

Originally posted by: Monty on 12/5/2006 10:42:30 AM

Mr. James Brown, welcome to the board........MJ

Originally posted by: MD on 12/5/2006 12:13:01 PM

Been thinking about becoming a life member for a few months. Having a hard time convincing myself it's worth it. I enjoy the magazine, the website, reading your wisdom on the board and such. Dropping $300 bucks isn't a big deal, but I can always think of something else to do with it. I can get a years membership at the muni for a little over 300, or it's nearly half a years membership at my current semi private club. I don't really need another golf bag, have 3, and have an attic packed with dozens of pieces of luggage. The $15 or $20 or whatever the club charges for annual membership is barely noticeable. Somebody help me with a good reason to go "lifetime"
Thanks,
Mike

Is the life member golf bag a benefit you recieve for becoming a life member or do you buy it. If you have to buy it How much does it cost? It looks like a nice bag and I am considering it.

Originally posted by: golfNducks on 12/10/2006 9:43:06 AM

The bag is part of yoiu membership. Does not cost extra. But you dont get every piece until your membership is paind in full.

Life membership was somewhere in the $300 range.

Originally posted by: Canadian Golfer on 12/10/2006 10:15:49 AM

I just read through this post from day one. A a life Membeer your get the 3 piece travel set, consisting of a Suit carrier, tote bag and travel bag for a cart, or small staff bag. I ordered a Burton Bag from the Club and that is a seperate item. By the Way, it fits in my Travel bag quite nicely, have taken it to PEI, Cuba and Ontario, travels well.

Dave C since you started the thread, id ti the travel Bag of the Golf Bag you were asking about

Originally posted by: James Brown on 12/10/2006 10:52:55 AM

I was wondering about the burton bag. What was the cost? There was a choice between a cart bag and a stand bag with your name put on it. It didn'e say anything about price? Has anyone ordered one and, which bag is better. I already have a stand bag and was considering the cart bag.

Originally posted by: Canadian Golfer on 12/10/2006 11:38:20 AM

James, the Burton card bag was about $150, this is three years ago with Personalization for free and the club logo on the side. I ordered the non-life member (cuz I wasn't one when I ordered it, but they must have been reading my mind it came in with Life Member logoing.) Good bag, durable, don't know about the stand bag

Originally posted by: DAVE C. on 12/13/2006 5:21:04 AM

i got mine in september and it was 167 dollars and love it.that was for the cart bag.

Originally posted by: Kerrnel on 12/14/2006 3:42:50 PM

The real question, is how many beers will fit in the Burton cart bag? Eagerly awaiting mine...

Am I reading this correctly about the Golf Bag, people had to pay for them? I thought they were complimentary with the life membership? However, I consistently see dollar amounts being desribed in the forums.

Originally posted by: golfNducks on 12/14/2006 8:24:07 PM

John,

The 3-piece travel set ( Click here) was FREE after I made my final life membership payment. It did NOT cost anything extra.

I don't know anything about the golf bag that everyone is talking about in this post. That might be extra. Every now and then I get some mail from the club selling LIFE MEMBER junk. I never have bought anything. Stuff like a LIFE MEMBER ring. And other stuff.

At the Craig Ranch tournament we got Partners Club wind shirts. I wa supprise how much I like it. Normally I dont wear stuff like that. But this I have warn. I think I have seen that wind shirt in the mailing that I get from The Club so maybe it is all not junk.

Originally posted by: golfNducks on 12/14/2006 9:20:06 PM

The travel set may not be offered anymore. That was an old link I found in another post.

Originally posted by: JhamUSMC on 12/14/2006 8:33:05 PM

golfNducks,
thank you for the reply. The "new" Life Membership documents have an offer for either cart or stand bag now, unlike the information provided on the home page for their website. Nevertheless, it appears to me now that I will need to pay the entire amount up front for the membership if I want to receive the bag any sooner, or else wait the year out after I have paid my total amount. No worries though, I have a bag and I will continue to use it until I receive the new one. Hopefully at no extra cost.

I have had mine about 3 years and it still looks good and have had a lot of positive comments on it. I just wish it would have had an external putter tube. Big Boy

The do have lifetime waranties however, according to their webpage they do not cover certain things like color fading due to sun, etc.

You should still give them a call if have problems with your bag.

Their warant page is at the following :

Ok as promise.

Travel Set



Golf Bag Logo Side



Golf Bag Name Side



With the cover on the bag, it fits inside the Travel bag, the suitcarrier zips onto the travel bag and the carry on zip also onto the Travel bag.

Travel Set comes with a LIFE membership,
The Logo'd Golf Bag is an EXTRA cost, but I think it was worth it
