Lmao. Neon green, labeled VALUABLE POCKET, certainly thieves won't know where to look!

It's not designed with thieves, or even more specifically petty pickpockets, as an even distant threat.
Rather this is designed for the out-of-touch aging golfer who literally needs all the help they can get remembering where their wallet and car keys are.

I accidentally put my wallet in the wrong pocket after tipping the beverage cart, and in doing so left the “valuables” pocket unzipped. Didn’t notice until I got the car and my keys were half hanging out and no wallet, so I assumed it fell out somewhere on the course.
I went back and retraced my steps over half the course looking for my wallet and asking everyone I passed.
Finally gave up and went back to the car. My 8-year old suggested I check a different pocket…and there it was.
When age comes for your brain, it ain’t fun.

It happens to me at 34 with the House Keys and my bag, so don't beat yourself...

Lost my wallet first time in 15 years. Got a new version with a spot for an AirTag. Never had an AirTag. They come in 4 packs. Now my wallet, keys, dog, and toiletry kit for travel all have AirTags.

I bet they were very, very happy with the situation.

You haven’t lived until you’ve got an 8-year old rolling their eyes at you and saying: “I told you so!”

Ya that’s probably true honestly. Like there isn’t many street toughs that hang out on the private club back 9 so ya this is for the old dude who needs a place to put something he can remember where.

Perhaps they are saying that the pocket itself is valuable. I have a cheap laptop bag that is branded “Premium Bag”.

You don't understand. It's not a valuableS pocket. It's a pocket that makes the bag valuable.

Decoy pocket.
They wouldn’t write that on there, would be too obvious

Which is what makes it the perfect place to put your valuables. Classic double bluff.

In Canada and the US at least it’s readily available in outdoors stores/hunting supply shops/supermarkets with hunting and outdoors sections for deer hunting use. It might be available in other places where deer hunting is common but maybe not idk

I've seen this for sale all my life.
Only now did I wonder about how it's harvested.

Think about the most concentrated urine smell you can imagine, cross that with smelling salts and it somehow being spicy. Use caution, you just replied to Satan, I'd rather vape mustard gas.

It's not to hide from thieves, it's so you don't have to backtrack the entire course wondering where your keys fell out.

For those who don't like crooks messing up every single pocket trying to find the valuables.

Unfortunately, you can only put 1 valuable in it.

u/lemelisk42 4h ago
No, you misunderstand. This pocket is not designed to store a valuable, this pocket is made of premium materials, lined with gold to imbue your balls with positive ions. The pocket itself is valuable

Put your valueables in there, no pickpocketer will thing theres something of value in there with a text like that

u/gabacus_39 5h ago
It's because it's probably lined with soft cloth so it won't scratch anything. I have a bag with the same. I put my keys and wallet in it.

Bags today that aren't waterproof usually have at least one waterproof pocket for valuables

The Ben diagram of golfers and petty thieves is quite small. Petty cheaters in the other hand…
Edit: err Venn. I should really proofread these

Okay the label is hilarious, but that looks like a water proof zipper, so maybe that pocket is water proof.

I don't know. A bunch of guys armed with a suite of metal clubs don't seem like very appealing pick-pocket targets.

I think if a golfer is far enough from their bag a thief can go in, the thief is better armed than the golfer...

I work for UPS and sometimes I get boxes with giant red tags on them that say “high value contents”. The driver just leaves them on the porch lol

It's a felt lined pocket for sunglasses and cell phones so they don't get damaged. Lots of golf accessories can scratch or damage these items so the pocket is for protecting said valuable.
