Shovel carrier - a golf bag!

[California]

This works so well that I just had to share it.

I often reach for the bow saw or pruners to clear dead branches overhead, while still seated on the tractor. I installed a small golf bag to carry these tools at hand, and also put in a shovel, small mattox, and the hula hoe (for eradicating jimson weed).

I normally leave my chains across the loader's hooks, but today I used the loader to dig out poison oak and didn't want the chains contaminated so I put them in the golf bag too.

I got a small (kid size?) bag to fit the available space, $1.98 from Goodwill, and used some single strands of 12 ga house wiring to lash it in place. The bottom end rests on the fender mount so there is little stress on the attachment points.

Where's GolfGar?!

That sounds like a very good idea for a Golf Bag.

That's a very clever idea...I wish I would've thought of that. I've got several old bags I didn't know what to do with.

Hey.. you stole my thunder.. i was gonna post the 'clever' comment.

Actually.. practically speaking.. that's the best use for a golf bag that i can imagine ( I'm obviously not a golfer.. think it is a useless 'sport'.. but then what do i know.. I like bowling... (grin) )

Great idea! Too bad the club covers don't fit the shovel.

My trusty 30/30 would fit right in there too

As mentioned, a few pings and practice driving rocks off the field!
