Bag Tags

I truly don’t remember when I started buying bag tags, sometime around 71 or 72, but I do remember why. As I have stated in other post, at that time I was taking lessons under L B Floyd, and became a disciple of “not falling in love with one course but developing a traveling game that would hold up on any track”.

So, as it was,  a group of us would set out on a “Pro from Dover” (MASH fans) road trip with the intention of playing “X” number of course in “X” number of days. Therefore, early on, we decided to purchase bag tags the first time we visited a course to help identify our bags and make it easy on the locker attendants to keep all our bags together.

Even, into the early 90s, I would still periodically pick one up if it was my first visit to a course. And, after being away from the game for more than 15 years, when my grandson and I went on our first road trip, one of the things we did at check in was to purchase bag tags. Funny somethings never change! 

Below are some of the tags from the “Pro from Dover” days. Each has it’s own story to tell if it could talk. Some dating back almost 50 years to another time and type of game being played.
