In my search for the perfect light stand bag, I saw a lot of positive reviews of the Ping Hoofer Lite bag. I wanted someting that was lightweight but still had enough storage and was of high quality. At $245, I felt like this bag seemed a bit steep for what it is compared to the Ogio’s and Sun Mountain’s of the world, but I figured Ping has been making and refining this bag for so long that it must be worth the price. It has a great reputation and from what I understand, a lot of high school and college teams use this bag.

After a multi-year hiatus, I’m back! To make a long story short, a lot of things happened in life that kept me away from the game, such as the birth of my second child and becoming the assistant (to the) coach for my son’s soccer team, which in itself is a hilarious story because I know literally nothing about soccer.

I would have been better but I triple bogeyed the last hole after losing the ball on my second shot. This beats my previous best on the back 9, which was a +12. Obviously I was really excited and then played the front 9 the next day, wondering if it was just a fluke. This time, I shot a +6, which I ended with a double bogey. Obviously it isn’t one single round of 18, but if you do add it up, that’s an 86, which beats my previous personal best by 10 strokes!
