Each customizable Argyle leather golf bag will be offered for $1,500 and $750 of the purchase price is tax deductible.

The MacKenzie Argyle Leather Golf Bag normally retails for $1,100.

The Children’s Course in Portland, OR is a chapter of The First Tee and a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to teaching children “Nine Core Values” through the sport of golf – Honesty, Integrity, Sportsmanship, Respect, Confidence, Responsibility, Perseverance, Courtesy and Judgment.

The Children’s Course is a 9-hole, par 3 layout. It is funded by private donations from foundations, corporations and individuals. A facility unique to The First Tee of The Children’s Course, the Erling Jacobsen Learning Center, features a 5-hole short course for teaching, practice and play.

The First Tee of The Children’s Course outreach programs are dedicated to nurturing disadvantaged children ages 7 to 17, building values that strengthen their character and guiding them in becoming responsible adults through the game of golf.

The Walking Golfer is proud to be a member of The First Tee of The Children’s Course Ambassador Board – please support us in our mission to teach the next generation about the wonderful walking game of golf and all of the life skills that come with each round.

Thanks,

I love the bag!!! I just wish you could produce it in a material that the average walking golfer could afford!

Hi Mary,

A portion of all Llama and Sherpa bag sales go to The First Tee of The Children's Course. The Argyle Bags are a wonderful opportunity to raise significant funds in a short amount of time while providing walking golfers with THE coolest product on the market (which does come at a premium).
