It didn't take too long in my "re-acquaintance with golf" to start searching out brands within the golf space who are doing cool things. I've always been prone to the small shops, the artful take, and offerings that might go against the grain of the norm. Fortunately, there are quite a few of these kind of businesses within golf and it's been neat to come across them. Typically, first on Instagram...
One of these companies is MacKenzie Golf Bags and I have several friends who have a custom golf bag (which often times leads to more than one...) and it got me thinking that a Retro Fly version would be neat for me to carry. That idea started a series of back and forth emails with Nic Mulflur to hash out custom details, color choices, bag style and size, and more. Through the many emails and design proofs, Nic was always great to work with and I appreciate his patience.

I had hoped to get a series of step-by-step photographs of the Retro Fly golf bag coming together for this post but the three images that Nic sent just before it shipped were certainly enough to get me excited.
The bag arrived the other day and the quality of every aspect of this is beyond expectations. The waxed canvas and leather is going to age wonderfully.
I took some time this morning to get it squared away with a half set of clubs, a few accessories, towel, balls, and if all goes right, I'll go for a walk with it this evening. I'm looking forward to it.
Special thanks to Nic and the crew at MacKenzie Golf Bags for their incredible work on this bag and for the extras, too. The Fore Ewe Retro Fly driver and fairway wood knit covers were a nice added touch.
