Overall: Recognizing design choices had to be made to lower the weight of this bag, I am still initially very happy with my purchase. That could change once I've taken it out on the course for at least a few rounds. If one is looking primarily for bells and whistles there are many other options available. There are also good YouTube videos to help one explore the features, price points, etc., prior to making your choice. My four star rating is based on my research and the sacrifices I made in choosing this bag: including some potential concerns that I included below. Positives: really like the navy color (even better than pictured); very light weight; material seems like it will hold up over time; two "handles" on top of the bag nice for lifting the bag; plenty of pockets (count nine zippered, with the possible other two "pockets" being one small beverage "pocket" to left of cooler pocket, and an umbrella pocket?); cooler pocket is nice and deep - two 33.8 oz Kirkland Alkaline Water Bottles (approx 12" tall bottle 9" diameter) will fit with room for ice; glove "velcro piece" (above towel ring) seems substantial enough to prove helpful; Potential Concerns: there are not 14 individual full length dividers; the cart strap passthrough area doesn't seem to be reinforced so will need to come up with a fix to keep the friction from the cart strap from wearing a hole in the material over time; rain cover material seems a bit thin and could lead to potential holes/tears; four light weight metal rods providing structural integrity will hopefully hold up over time - have seen one of these bags for sale that was significantly sagging seemingly from at least one of these rods or the material holding it in-place being damaged/missing/etc.; umbrella "pocket"/sleeve doesn't hold my golf umbrella snugly in-place if not sitting in a cart with the back of the cart to help anchor it.
