    If your golf bag was on fire!!!

    and you could only save one thing from the bag (give a reason), what would it be?

    For me it would have to be cg10 52* wedge. that thing has bailed me out of so many messes. i don't think i could even play a round without it in the bag, it just gives me so much confidence just knowing its there to bail me out next time i screw up

    My wallet and keys. That way I can still get home after whole ordeal and I won't have to go through the pain of getting all my ID and cards re-done. The clubs, I could care less about.

    Yep, I agree with Geoff. If they happen to be in my pocket already, then I'd save whatever clothes I had stashed in there.

    Wallet and keys.

    Interestingly, when a member at Carleton G&YC, I left my wallet and keys in my locker and when they had a fire. When the fire was put out a very kind fireman retrieved them from my unburnt locker. Now, they are kept in my golf bag which won't catch fire unless I leave an extra battery for my range finder in contact with a metal ball mark repairer.

    Hmmm

    Wallet - that stays in my pocket now after countless trips to the snack shack/club house only to discover that I'd left it in my golf bag.

    Clubs - can't say that I have anything "Special" that couldn't be replaced.

    Keys - I have duplicates of those

    GPS - insurance will cover that

    Pride - nope, lost that long ago



    I'd have to say ball markers....I have a Wayne Gretzky silver dollar that I'd hate to lose, I also carry a 1917 50 cent piece and of course my Cameron ball marker

    WOW, I'm shocked at the number of people who actually leave their wallet in their golf bag. I don't even leave mine in the dressing room when I referee.

    Considering how often I leave my golf bag unattended, how quick and easy it is for someone to grab a wallet, and how important everything in it is to my life - the only time it leaves my back pocket is when I go to bed at night.

    I am shocked you leave your golf bag unattended. I never leave mine out of my sight. As for what I would save, wallet, then driver. The rest i can replace.
    I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

    Everything can be replaced...however the items in the wallet would be the most painful. Other than that I am just thinking no one put this baby out...daddy wants some new sticks!!!

    Club-wise - TM Fairway rescue#2
    Possession wise - either my wallet or my cooler bag of beer depending on how many beer I've already had.

    only thing irreplaceable in my golf bag, walrus head cover my daughter gave me for my birthday, first present she ever bought "by herself". I would risk life and limb to retrieve that. Everything else is just a possession that can be re-bought.

    Wallet is in my pocket until I'm about ready to tee off, then I move it to the golf bag.

    My Crackberry (which I turn off before the round and put in my bag BTW). That way I can take a video of the fire and post to You Tube! Would be an interesting video once that aerosol can of deet went off

    Also, my Crackberry seems to have a magical weather radar app that wards off rain (ask DreadedSnowman) so yet another reason to save it. I guess I would grab my wallet and keys while I was at it.

    if my bag were on fire, i'd throw my crackberry into the flames.

    ....I would also save my wallet, keys and blackberry...the rest can be replaced and better yet...upgraded. When we had a basement flood last year my old Ram golf set magically became a bag full of taylor made r7's, burners and odyssey.

    Funny no one asked how the hell does your golf bag catch on fire if you are at a golf course?

    If I was playing at the course I work at I'd just watch it burn. Only items of any value in my bag then are my car keys. My SkyCaddie can go up in flames, insured, along with the clubs and bag.

    I do not carry my wallet when I golf where I work. No need to have cash on hand to buy anything. That can go on my tab.

    But I still wonder how that bag is going to be ignited when on a golf course? Only possibility would be a lightning strike. If that was the case you might be dead and not worrying about your golf bag.

    As Big Mac said, consider who started this thread.
    My opinions are my own, I do not follow others.
