FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why do you use so many different names to describe your bags?
Provoto believes its’ bags are unique and the beginning of a line of bags that will be “Distinctive Innovations” in and to the golfing industry. All of Provoto bags are used to be your Personal Golf Caddy Bag™.
What are the 3 types of golf bags used on the green?
1) Golf “caddy” bag is defined as any style bag to carry your golf clubs.
2) “Sunday” bag is defined as a light weight bag for carrying less than a full set of clubs.
3) Hybrid Bag is defined as a first generation off spring of two recognized –different styles of bags
What are the styles of bags that Provoto currently offers?
1) The Approach Bag ™ - a golf “caddy” bag that easily carries up to 5 clubs
2) Caddy 4 U™ - a Hybrid Sunday Bag™ - easily carries up to 8 clubs
3) The Stand Up (S/U) Sunday Bag a “Hybrid Sunday Bag™”-easily carries up to 8 clubs
The Caddy 4 U™ and the S/U Sunday Bag™ are “hybrid” bags which are a first generation off spring between a small golf Caddy bag and a full size “Sunday” bag. Provoto is the maker and designer of the official “HybridSundayBag”.
How are Provoto’s Personal Golf Caddy Bags™ better than other club holders?
Provoto’s bags are made with 600 Denier Polyester and urethane backing which makes Provoto bags waterproof. Most other 600 polyester bags have vinyl backing which makes them heavier and appear sturdier but they crack and break down and do not take temperature well or wear well.
Provoto’s Universal V/S (vertical) stands are made from 108 steel with 3 prong feet which are 3.5 inches in length and 3 inches in depth; Shaft is 39 inches in length; top circle circumference is 17" with 5.25 " in diameter.
Provoto’s Bag easily detaches from Stand which allows you to:
* Use bag and stand as individual products if you desire
* Exchange style of bag for Stand
* Clean your bag so it looks fresh at all times (wash on gentle cycle and air dry)
The Approach Bag™ has large wrap around pockets and comes with 2 D-rings to carry accessories and a strap.
Provoto’s Hybrid Sunday Bags™ both have:
* Adjustable Single shoulder strap
* Large front Zipper pocket
* Hidden Zipper pocket
* Black Mesh side pockets
* Score Card Collar pocket
* Tee and Pencil holders near Score Card pocket
* Tongue Strap with D-Ring in center of bag for use with strap positioning
* Added D-rings for options of strap placement and adjustment and for carrying extra accessories
Provoto’s large pockets on its bags allow products to be easily customized with embroidery and/or screen print so you can “say it your way” in tournaments, charity events, corporate branding and more.
Bags and Stand come with a 5 year warranty (proof of purchase required).
Where can I purchase a Personal Golf Caddy bag™?
On line at www.provoto.com or through an authorized reseller nearest you.
Are your shoulder straps standard and do I need one?
Provoto furnishes a single shoulder strap with purchase of one of its Hybrid Bags (Caddy 4 U or S/U Sunday Bag). It is recommended you use a shoulder strap with these bags as you carry more clubs and the bag is heavier. The Approach Bag™ is a smaller bag, holds fewer clubs, is lighter and was designed to easily carry with the Shepherd’s Hook handle in your palm. However, extra D-Rings have been placed on The Approach Bag™ should you want to add a strap or other accessories.
When would I use a Personal Golf Caddy Bag™?
Cart Path only courses or anytime you are separated from your primary golf bag and/or cart and need more than 1 club. Our golf caddy bag will carry the clubs for you, “stand upright beside you”, and will keep your clubs clean and dry. Then you can use your caddy at practice at your driving range and chipping area, or when you “just need to get out and walk” .
How can a Personal Golf Caddy bag help a Charity Tournament?
With all tournaments, the more exposure to a cause or event “gets the word out to the public”. With customizing the bags, once a tournament or other event is over, the message keeps going with each player onto other courses. Your tournament bag becomes a “perpetual bill board” for your cause or corporate branding, as well as a souvenir.
How will one of your Personal Caddy Bags make me a better golfer?
- When separated from the cart and primary bag, the caddy enables you to carry more of a selection of clubs so you can make the best choice of which club to use --- and not try to make a good shot with the wrong club as the club you need is back in the cart and the cart is not with you.
- Having your caddy with a selection of clubs with you when separated from your primary bag reduces the worry of “did I bring the right club with me and eases your mind so you can “focus on the shot”.
- You do not have to wait for the cart to go “find your ball”. You can grab your caddy with a selection of clubs, find your ball and take the time you need to prepare to make “your best shot”, instead of becoming anxious while waiting to get to the shot and when you get to your shot, not making your best shot.
- Makes your game more relaxed and fun.
- Call it “ready golf” as explained above. After tee-off, while the first golfer is preparing to hit, the other golfer can grab their caddy and go to their lie of ball and be prepared to hit as soon as the other golfer hits. With your Personal Caddy™ either driver or passenger can “grab and go”.
- Avoids time delay if when you are dropped off at your ball but do not have the right club and your bag and cart went to their next shot. Now you have to wait for the cart and bag to get back to you, or you chase them down and then run back to your lie.
- It has been our experience and that of others who use their Golf Caddy bag a four-some with their Golf Caddy bag can golf as fast (sometimes faster) as a two-some without a Golf Caddy bag(TM)™.
How can I walk the golf course with a Personal Golf Caddy Bag™?
Using one of our Hybrid Sunday Bags™, we suggest you select 7 to 8 of your favorite clubs you use 90% of the time, take some extra balls, tees, markers; grab some water and a ball cloth and go. The Hybrid Sunday Bags™ have extra D-rings for you to hang accessories, as well as other pockets – all for you to “store your stuff”. You can use the single shoulder strap that comes with the Hybrid Sunday Bags™ or Provoto’s accessory strap, the 2n1 Zipper strap.
The 2n1 Zipper strap allows you to carry your bag in a back pack manner so your hands are free to eat, drink or whatever it is you might do with your hands free. For added support, you can take your single shoulder strap to forma a waist support by hooking the ends of your single strap to that of the ends of the 2n1 strap and/or D-ring on bag.
How can couples benefit by using a Personal golf Caddy Bag™?
A perfect example came from one of our customers who told us: “Men and women hit at different distances; one can take the cart while the other can grab 5/7 clubs and go to their lie---neither partner is holding back or rushing the other to “hit the ball”.
How does a Personal Golf Caddy Bag™ help a beginner.
We believe that when a beginner uses one of our bags it will teach them never to take for granite “the lie of a ball” and to be prepared to have a selection of clubs with them to be able to have the best club for “that” shot AND NOT try to make the best shot they can with the wrong club because they did not have the right club with them at the time.
How does a Personal Caddy Bag help seasoned players?
* When a seasoned player carries more than one club when away from the cart or primary bag.
* When a seasoned player goes to lay a club or clubs on the ground, the bag will keep the clubs off the ground and clean, as well as save on “the back” of the seasoned player when bending up and down to pick up the clubs since our bags “stand by you”.
Is a Personal Caddy Bag only good when the course is cart path only?
* No. As previously stated, it can be used for various reasons, including faster pace of play, keeping your clubs clean and off the ground, and more.
* A unique feature with the lighter colored bags is you can take the bag off the stands and use them to get your favorite PGA pro signatures. Now that is a “signature bag” wouldn’t you agree?
Why would I give a Personal Caddy Bag to my key customers?
Two reasons right off the tee:
* If they are a golfer they will use and enjoy the benefits of our bags.
* The bag becomes a “branded” souvenir of the giver to the customer.
How can a Personal Caddy Bag help my business?
Let the customized bag speak for you. When customized with your logo or message, it becomes perpetual bill board.
