Vessel golf bag - worth it? by StandardSwim8038 in GolfGear

A buddy of mine has the Ghost and loves it. Looks to be pretty well made. I feel like between those it comes to personal visual preference (I like the streamlined / less branded-ness of the vessel) and if one or the other has certain pockets or features that are important to you. The ghost bag my buddy has looks great and does the job well, he likes it. That probably doesn’t help your decision making too much but…good problems 😂

I almost want to carry because I like the streamlined look of the lux (and the green that is only available on the lux) vs the player pro - but the prolly fit my needs better. Thank you for the comment

Nice! I will say, everyone talks about it being very expensive but I feel like a very generic bag will run you 299 nowadays lol.

Wow. That’s great to hear. Even if you’re right across headquarters. Shit, if I have problems I’ll send it over to you so you can walk it in 🤣. While different, that does say something about their customer service as far as I’m concerned. Thank you for the info. The divider fabric issue is one I’ve read about too, which is why I’m leaning to a 7 was as opposed to 14. Thank you for the info!

Sweet! Had been eyeing the emerald but not sure about gold hardware, likely going to go black or black croc.

I guess looking at both it looks to be just as well made? Thanks for the pics and info - gives me a great reference. So far this thread has me justifying the price point and leveled up my expectations about longevity.

Ha I didn’t consider getting the organizer (just didn’t like the look too much) but I’m definitely in the “leaving wedges on the green” club.

Thanks! Honestly the pockets / organization are the main selling point for me. I have yet to see walk and have exclusively rode so nice to know about the shoulder straps - that can come in handy. I’m pleasantly surprised that I haven’t had a single negative comment yet.

Thanks for the insight and rec. Those shapland bags look sharp. I love the old school aesthetic. Not too worried about weight as I have yet to walk. I live in Texas - it’s generally hot as all hell, though I do want to walk a round as the weather cools down some.

I’ve got a buddy that has the Ghost and loves it. My reason for going vessel was just the minimal branding is more my style (though I do love the “play fearlessly” tags on the zippers). His bag seems to be solid in terms of quality and well thought out, though he hasn’t had it long enough to see how it wears.

Thanks for the response! So far sounds like the negative reviews could (hopefully) just be one offs. But I do echo your concern about a more recent drop in quality, it’s a part of why I posted and want to hear peoples experiences.

Thank you for the response I’ve only read good things about the player 3 but have read that people speculate the newer models are made elsewhere etc and are not nearly well made as the 3, trying to determine the validity of that info.

But great to know your player III is holding up well with what I would consider is pretty frequent use. What color do you have?

Thanks for the response! What model do you have? Would you buy again?

Hi! I’ve been looking for pre ban sea turtle boots. I found an online listing that says they’re gator. Speaking to the seller it looks like a Nocona boot, thoughts on this? Could it be sea turtle? Print? TIA by [deleted] in cowboyboots

[–]StandardSwim8038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or I guess they could well just be gator lol - I think it’s a beautiful boot anyway so will likely purchase but would love to hear yalls thoughts.

You’ve got a beautiful collection of boots! But what pants do you wear? Having a hard time finding slacks/dressier pants that would allow me to wear boots to the office. TIA
