Hickory golf bag maker from Southern Pines, NC

I started played golf with Hickory golf clubs in 2014. I would see guys playing with unauthenticate looking golf bags.

I asked them why and they commenting that 100 year old bags didn’t fair well. I thought maybe if I could rehab some, they would want them. I bought some old hickory bags off of Ebay and was on my way. From learning to repair them, I thought I should be able to make them. Hence, I became the Bag Lady. My moniker is "Too Olde Bags". Lol! Each bag takes around a month to complete. There are no patterns. I just take measurements, measure the leather and make it.

I love Phil's videos! I have learned so much about high end finishing, sharpening, putting in zips and so on. I have learned everything on my own with books and videos.

Luckily, these golf bags are not complicated, since they are mimicking bags from the 1900's through the 30's. When the first bags came out, they were using arrow quivers bags. Young Tom Morrison actually started this trend.

Prior to being retired, I was a professional golfer, then cop, and then paralegal. I wish I had had this craft in my 20's. I would have done it for a living.
