OGIO - Exodus Golf Cart Bag - 2008 Review

I have been mooning over a picture of this sleek golf bag all spring, as if I was staring at a bikini-clad Terri Hatcher. (Whoof! Whoof!) It made my heart flutter. I could already imagine the looks of sheer envy from other golfers who would have nudged each other as they saw me drive by with this sleek blue and gold creation strapped to the back of my cart. "Look at him; he's got the Exodus, a real hot bag." I would have felt like the proud owner of a Nimbus 2000. A bag that has two insulated pockets to keep hot food hot and cold food cold, would have made a mockery of the course signs that read, "No coolers allowed." How about, "No Cooler Left Behind?!"

Then there was that longer divider to keep the driving woods (that really aren't made from wood anymore) away from the irons (that are still made of iron). There are pockets for gloves and rain gear, and a water drainage hole at the bottom of the bag. (Where else)? There are little nooks and crannies for balls, markers, tees and greens repair tool, shoe and clete tool, umbrella slot, cover, comfortable carrying straps, and counters. It has everything, and it would never have become my "ol' bag."

But it was not meant to be because the seller is fibbing, and fibbing big time. On two, top-of-the-line Ogio upright golf bags, the Amazon advertisement announces a saving of $40 and $30 on the Exodus and Atlas, respectively.This has all the truth of a hole-in-one story on a par four hole. It just ain't so. Just like Swiss Army does not allow retailers to discount their watches, Ogio does not allow its retailers to discount their golf bags. So, instead of buying this finely-engineered, beautifully-designed and crafted piece of equipment here, "at a savings of $40," and paying for shipping, you might just as well jump in your car and travel to the nearest golf outlet where you won't have to pay for shipping or the wait for delivery. Of course, if you live in Dry Heaves, NE, and the nearest golf outlet is over the next prairie or at least twenty-seven miles from the nearest Howard Johnsons, considering the cost of gas, disregard.

The bag is five stars, the advertising is zero stars. If it weren't for the misleading advertising, the sale would have been, well, in the bag. There are no savings by buying it here. It is not discounted. I feel like I almost bought another pair of electric scissors. Now, I'm going to go out and buy one made by Snake-eyes.

Or, I just might just keep the ol' bag a little while longer. After all, it never lied to me.
Now, watch this drive!

Looking deeper, the Exodus is laden with endless details including dedicated storage for divot tools, umbrellas, towels, tees, gloves, and of course … cigars.
