Happened once. I felt very foolish. Fortunately the person behind me was a good guy. He reassured me that I'm not the only one it happens to. I felt a little better but always use a backup bungee now.

Once. Since then I have bicycle cable lock as a secondary bag holder, and theft deterrent.

Default Oh I Wish

The way I've been playing lately, I wish they would fall off...

For what it is worth, if your post title says it's going to be a poll, it should be a poll post. This is not. Posting a poll is an option when you are making a post. Scroll down a little below the narrative field and the submit button to options like "notify me when there is a reply."

One of those options is "Post a poll." You select how many options the poll will have (up to 10) and then it will prompt you to label those options for people to select. It will also show the results as a simple bar graph.

ZERO times in 40 years of playing.

I saw that happening so often when we first moved here 10 years ago, I attached short bungee cords to my basket to hook to our bags when it’s on the cart. When we go off campus, I take the cords with us.

to answer the question:never to me, but I've seen it.

It happened to a friend while we were playing. I was in the cart behind, as we pulled off the tee box. It was obvious that the latch/strap was "tired"...no bungee cord handy. What worked well enough to get him through the round was to double back, i.e. fold back, the strap so there were two thickness going through the latch/buckle.

I'm sure the "tired" pieces can be replaced. Not sure if he ever did that or just relies on the double -back technique now.
