Back in April Fox News was constantly talking about T-Bagging. Comedians like Steven Colbert and John Stewart were having a hay day with it. Funny thing was that Fox didn’t really know what that term meant to some people. Yes, to us golfers it refers to a very cool golf accessory bag which holds golf tees and makes them easy to access. 😉
The T-Bagg is a fun and inexpensive stretchy mesh bag which hangs from your golf bag or your golf cart. You put tees in there and stick the pointy end of the tee through the mesh. When you need a tee you just pull it through the stretch mesh and it it pops out. Simple.
I was skeptical at first but I’ve grown to really like having that bag handy rather than having a bunch of tees in my pocket poking me or poking holes in my pocket.
Critiques
The only critique I have, which I’ve suggested to my T-Bagg friends, is to change the top of the bag from velcro to magnetic. I’m not a velcro fan because it wears out and gets shabby over time. With magnets sealing the top of the bag it will last much longer. I do realize the price point of the T-Bagg at $7.95 retail may not be attainable with more expensive components and assembly if they went with magnets.
Conclusion
The T-Bagg won’t replace my having some tees in my pocket but it is a fun and handy golf gadget which I like. My golf pals like it too. I gave two extras to some golf pals and they both rave about them.
Great Father’s Day Golf Gift
Father’s day is coming up and the T-Bagg is a very inexpensive yet unique gift to give to that dad who golfs. (Kids, don’t get me one since I already have one!).
T-Baggs are available at The Golf Space SHOP, or at the T-Bagg web site.

I’ve been touting how cool the products from SUMI-G are. My new golf buddy Marius, the cranium behind SUMI-G, has a talent for making super hip, elegant, unique and functional golf accessories. Every round of golf I play I have people drooling over my new head covers. Just two days ago a military buddy of mine wanted the driver cover so bad I gave him the one off my personal set so he could have one in time for a trip to Hawaii.
Tired old head cover designs
Lame head cover #1: This one is a stretchy cotton sock which wears out and eventually just falls off.
Lame head cover #2: This one is leather or plastic and has velcro, which wears and and gets shabby looking over time.
Lame head cover #3: This one is leather or plastic and has a zipper. The zipper may work for 1-2 rounds, then fails.
SUMI-G Mega-cool super stylin’ hip headcover
Looks
The SUMI-G head cover (hybrid shown upper right, driver cover lower right) has a stylish look with a silky black finish which feels like velvet. I’m no fashion expert, but the black finish will match any bag color.
Mechanical enclosure
This headcover has a unique mechanical closure which protects the head. The mechanical enclosure allows for installation of the cover with one hand can be put on the club from the ground without even having to bend over. This one handed ground installation can save having to bend over dozens of times (drivers, fairways, hybrids) during around, helping guys like me with a bad back stay off the injured reserve list. This 12 second video below shows just how quick and easy it is to slip the cover on:
Rigid exoskeleton
I’ve been excited to write this review not just because this is the coolest head cover on our planet and several others, but because I could use the words “rigid exoskeleton.”
The SUMI-G head cover employs a rigid exoskeleton to protect the club and the shaft. Drivers these days are quite an investment and I don’t know about you but I’d sure want a rigid exoskeleton protecting my $500 driver with the $150 shaft.
On the course
These headcovers bring more enjoyment to my golf rounds because of their ease of use. I just throw the head cover on the ground by the tee and slip it on with one hand when leaving the tee after blistering a drive down the middle. It has become sort of my “post shot routine.”
Conclusion
Style, uniqueness and a perfectly useful functionality. This is the coolest innovation in head covers in years and they’re so classy and sharp looking to boot. Who wouldn’t love to own a head cover which has a rigid exoskeleton and convenient one handed ground installation?
