9 things you're only going to understand if you've worked in a bag room
By Keely Levins__
______1. You can unfold a pushcart with the speed and dexterity of a professional Rubik's Cuber.
2. You kept the members' clubs far cleaner than your own.
3. You had a lot of putting contests against yourself waiting for the last cart to come in. And always pretended you didn't have a life when the player apologized for playing so late. "No, no. There's nothing I'd rather be doing on a Friday night."

4. You always felt the need to explain your wad of singles to bank tellers: "It's tip money… From the golf course…"
5. If you didn't approve of the way a member organized their bag, you took it upon yourself to re-arrange it.

6. You've pushed electric carts that ran out of juice across the length of a course. And felt like the Hulk doing it.

8. Whenever a bag came in with head covers on every iron and hybrid, a little piece of you died.
9. You were 90% sure you and your bag room co-workers ran the course. Until you got promoted to the Pro Shop.
