Why Is This Boring? What Does WITB Really Mean?
What’s In My Bag? Thanks for asking…
I field many requests asking what’s in my personal bag. Because I review so many clubs throughout a given season, my bag changes often. There are positions in my bag which are very solid, and it is doubtful that a new club will replace them. That does not mean a particular club will not be given the opportunity to oust a starter from the gamer lineup. The most solid position is the putter. Mine is hand-made by Grant Mackay in Dornoch, Scotland. I’m in the middle of reviewing an entire set of irons, a new wedge, and a new driver. Therefore my WITB is in a test mode. I’ll post both versions of my WITB below, the first being my 2014 gamer set. This is a valid WITB because of the WRX watermark. Don’t be fooled by imposters. Real WITB photos must have a watermark, since they’re such valuable assets and one must protect them from theft or misuse.

My broken Canon S95, with the lens which is stuck open… RIP old friend
Who says miracles don’t happen?
A few weeks ago I posted a sad blog about the death of my trusty and awesome Canon S95 camera. The poor camera lost its mind and decided to swan dive into the toilet. When you see your $400 camera at the bottom of the toilet bowl there’s a slight delay as your brain processes the inevitable next action, reaching into the toilet. Fortunately the swan dive occurred prior to any activity, and not after.
I put the camera in a bowl of rice for a few days and upon attempting to power it up, the thing was dead. I wrote it off and have since been trying to figure out how to replace it on a blog’s revenue. The replacement was slated for 2073.
Good friend and golf entrepreneur John Hartline from Tornado Tee asked if he could take the cam and try an industrial plastic drying machine on the S95. I had nothing to lose.
After days of sitting in this machine I got my camera back today. It powered up, and the lens was retracting, unlike before. The screen though, was black. I could snap pictures which all turned out black as well. I fiddled with it for a few more minutes when suddenly the black screen came on and showed the correct image. Seconds later I was happily snapping photos.
Thanks to John for trying that. Saved me some bucks, and reunited me with a trusty old friend who was one of the most crucial tools of my golf blogging arsenal, and also one I use a ton to shoot family pics.
The camera has been resurrected. I’m frightened to look at a calendar, but I’m guessing it died 40 days ago.
Next it will walk on water and then turn water into wine.

WITB Week Continues!
While I’m ranting about dumb WITB (what’s in the bag) articles/photos (see previous post, The Truth About WITB Photos), I thought I’d put together a short list of what WITB might really mean.
What is this blasphemy?
What is this BS?
What’s in Tiger’s brain?
Witless idiots talking bull.
Wow is this bad.
What’s in the baranca?
Where is the beef?
Why is this boring? **
Wheat irritates Tony’s bowels.
Where is the ball?
Whiny irritable tyrant’s blabber.
What is taco bisque?
Written (by) insolent thoughtless beings.
Worthless inane twit babble.
Worthless idiotic trashy buffoons.
Witless info that’s boorish.
Worthless information, tacos better.
Worthless info that blows.
Weak irritated trout bacon.
Wheat is the bomb.
Wankers idiots trolls boobs.
Walton is talking brainlessly.
When it tests brains.
Whores initiating trouser beacons.
Whip it thoroughly boy!
Wow is topic boring.
Wow is this boring?
Thanks to twitter followers John K and Bryan McLean for the input!
“Every week I excitedly wait for my favorite golf website to post the latest Tour winner’s WITB (what’s in the bag?) photos. I immediately drive to Dick’s Sporting Goods and buy the exact set, knowing that if some PGA Tour pro wins with them, they’ll help my game.”
Said no one with a brain…
One of the easiest posts for lazy golf journalists is the “what’s in the bag?” photo. This is a great alternative to actually working to create a meaningful, quality, and interesting piece of journalism. It’s right up there with the “will Tiger break Jack’s record?” and “who is in your dream foursome?” drivel. The web is full of it. It fills up space and keeps Google chewing on keywords which help the website’s SEO.

I especially like the watermarked WITB photos. After all, this is photographic genius we are talking about. Better watermark that shit so it doesn’t get stolen and win some million dollar prize or something.
The Truth About WITB Photos
Why are we subjected to this meaningless garbage every week? For the source, it is a low hanging fruit. Easy pickens. Five minutes. An easy bet, like a 1-handicap playing a 17 straight up. It’s also a great way for some of these journalistic outlets to pat the back of their paid equipment sponsors. Gee, what a coincidence eh?
Is this information useful at all? Not for 99.9% of amateur, or even most pro golfers. What’s in the bag for a given PGA Tour pro is typically a set of handmade clubs direct from the manufacturer’s tour truck, built precisely to the specs of the pro who will use them. Some of the clubs are custom made just for that week’s course or conditions. An average amtauter golfer could NEVER buy a set like this. If he could, he would never be able to hit them.
Sure there are the diehard gearheads who eat this drivel up. They’re the same ones who own 57 limited edition Scotty Cameron putter covers…. for each of their 27 limited edition Scotty Cameron putters. You can find them on WRX or some other golf forum. They’re the ones with 10,000 or more posts. 9,500 of their golf forum posts are about limited edition Scotty Cameron putter covers and 500 of them are about Natalie Gulbis.
Reality Check
If you are delusional, you might think you could putt as well as Rory McIlory if you had the same putter he uses. You might think you could drive it as far as Bubba Watson if you had the same driver he has.
Dream on.
You might as well assume you could paint the next Mona Lisa if you use the same set of paintbrushes that Leonardo da Vinci had. While you’re at it, buy the same set of wrenches your plumber has. Buy the same shoes Michael Jordan wears. You’ll be able to jump just as high as he does. Buy the same set of tools your auto mechanic has. Buy the same set of blogging tools mediaguru (a.k.a. Tony Korologos) has, then you could write blogs as good as he does.
Well, perhaps not that last one…
Carry on.
Now if you’ll excuse me I must take off. The paper has come out of my dot matrix printer and the ink is almost dry. I’ve printed off the latest watermarked WITB photos from WRX Digest, or was it Bunkers Hackerdice or something like that? Anyway, I’m headed to Dick’s Sporting Goods to buy the exact same set of golf clubs James Hahn used to win last week’s Northern Trust Open, just in case…
