Can Public Golf Be Fixed or Do We Need to Stop "Growing the Game"?

Is public golf broken? In this episode of Must Play: Bonus Round, Shawn and T.J. tackle one of the biggest conversations in the golf world right now by breaking down what they believe public golf is getting completely wrong, while also shining a light on what it’s actually doing really well. Over the last few years, public golf courses have become more crowded, more expensive, and harder to access than ever before. Tee times disappear in the blink of an eye, the pace of play can feel atrocious, and golfers constantly debate whether the modern public golf experience is worth "growing the game" for. In this week's episode, we each bring three things we think need fixing in public golf and three things the golf industry is currently getting right. From tee time systems and rising greens fees to golf culture and beginner accessibility, we dig into the biggest frustrations facing everyday golfers while also giving credit to the areas where the game has genuinely improved. This isn’t just a vent session for Shawn and T.J. (well, maybe Shawn), but more so a conversation about what makes public golf great, what’s making it harder for average golfers to enjoy, and what changes could improve the game moving forward. If you’ve ever struggled to book a tee time in Southern California, questioned the value of a golf round, or debated where golf is heading, this Must Play episode will probably sound very familiar.

Callaway Product Manager Answers All of Our Golf Bag Questions

If you’ve ever wondered how to properly set up your clubs in your golf bag, what features actually matter in a golf bag, or how PGA Tour caddies help shape the next generation of golf bags, this episode of Must Play: Bonus Round is for you. We’re joined by Brett Robinson, the Global Product Manager for Callaway Golf and OGIO golf bags, to answer some of the most common questions golfers have about golf bags and break down what separates a good golf bag from a great one. We dive into the details golfers rarely think about until they’re shopping for a new setup, like 14-way divider layouts, cooler pockets, and what features they just can't put on a golf bag. Brett also explains how PGA Tour player bags are configured, whether tour pros actually request specific features, and how much influence caddies have on bag setup preferences. From there, we take a closer look at the Callaway Fairway line of golf bags, including why these bags were specifically designed for push carts and trolleys and how that impacts real-world usability for golfers who walk or ride. We also discuss the Callaway Fairway 14, recently recognized by MyGolfSpy as the Best Hybrid Stand Bag of 2026, and what helped it stand out in such a crowded market. Whether you’re researching the best golf bags of 2026 or just want a behind-the-scenes look at how modern golf bags are designed, this episode delivers a ton of insight straight from the people selling them over at Callaway and Ogio.
