   I still have my High School Jones bag gently boxed away in my garage from 1992! The reason I ditched it was because I wanted a bag with a stand. If I’m feeling nostalgic, I suppose I can always dig it out.

   I ride, carry and pushcart does this work for all? I hate my stand bag for being in the cart. It squeezes my clubs and pisses me off. I want to know if this bag will work on my pushcart as well.

   Jeff…when I received the assignment, I was immediately time-traveled back to the early 1980s, playing high school golf, carrying my Jones bag. It IS good that they are still around. I also hope that they stay. We hope that you stay, too, and keep providing enthusiastic (or critical, if necessary) commentary.

   Ben…Jones will depend on word of mouth and keyboard from guys like you. While the bag market may be expansive, advertising dollars (as you know) are needed to open the door. An experience like yours is precisely what they want to hear. I appreciate you stopping by…don’t be a stranger!

   Chuck…different straps for different saps, I guess. I’m known for carrying supplies for days in my bag, but do have a smaller, one-strapped bag to carry a few clubs to the range. Excellent point.

   Wow, I had a Jones bag more than 20 years ago and completely forgot all about them. Good to see they are still around!

   I have carried my Jones Players #001 Carry bag with 14 clubs half a dozen balls, gatorade, incidentals etc for over 150 rounds now on a hilly Norman 7000 yard course and not a scratch. The balance of the bag is really good and I’ve tried many over the years. So functionally they are great I expect this bag to be the same. And it’s a huge relief not to pay few hundred dollars for huge advertising logos for the major brands. Golf should not be a big advertisement for conglomerates. #EnjoyYourWalk and all that 🙂 Go Jones! If anything I hope they take it more high end with exotic leather touches and technical innovations in sturdiness, weight and carryability. While also staying at least half to one third cheaper than all leather $800+ MacKenzie Walker carry bags or some of the interesting Japanese stand/travel/golf bags such as the Mizuno/Porter stand collaboration bags that went over the $1000USD level on Rakuten. The golf bag market is big enough not to be the latest tack TaylorMade/Titleist/Calloway logo on the side of a cart bag that goes onto a driveable cart while people take 4.5-5 hours to play a resort course.

   I always thought that if a bag required two straps, it was too big and/or you were carrying too much stuff.

   C Harman,

   Long live defiance! Jones should use you in its advertising campaign. Thank you for writing today.

    Thanks for the comment, Omar. For some people, $200 is a cheap go for the memories. Here’s hoping that Jones’ return makes it big.

    For $200 you can get a lighter, much better stand bag from most other companies. Only reason to by this is for old memories, or too much money burning a hole in your pocket

    Don’t know, David. What was his putting line called? I’ll do a little digging.

    So has Chris Carnahan abandoned his putter business?
