OT: Golf bags

I figure this is a good cross section of golfers. I am in the market for a new bag. My previous bag had a separate cushioned divider for my putter, which I really liked as I did not need to worry about my putter cover every hole. It seems now that all the new bags are either 14 or 4 way dividers. Some have 5, but not necessarily a separate putter divider. Curious what people like, and for the 4 way divider do you just put the putter in with all the other clubs (likely wedges). I have just been so set with how I organize my clubs, that I can't quite find anything I like. Callaway has a 7-way, but I don't like the rubber top. Any bags or organizer layout people really like? I do a combo of carry, pull cart and cart (pull cart preference), so want light weight and double strap. Cheers.

Walmart says users of weight-loss drugs are buying less food

Walmart says users of weight-loss drugs are buying less food​


The retailer used anonymized data on shopping patterns, based on customers who pick up prescriptions and buy groceries at its stores.

Walmart says people who get weight loss drugs like Wegovy at its pharmacies are buying a bit less food at its stores.

Walmart's U.S. CEO, John Furner, told Bloomberg News that the company is seeing signs that people taking GLP-1 agonist appetite suppressant medications are buying "less units, slightly less calories."

GLP-1 agonists include semaglutide, which is sold under the name Ozempic as a Type 2 diabetes treatment and Wegovy as a weight loss drug; as well as Mounjaro and Victoza.

The retail giant is comparing shoppers who pick up a prescription for those medications at its pharmacies to shoppers who are otherwise similar but aren't filling those scripts at Walmart. Using anonymized data, it's looking for patterns in the spending of those groups, and it says the first group is buying less food.

Doug McMillon, CEO of Walmart, Inc., said in August that the growing popularity of the drugs was helping its sales.

According to Trilliant Health, prescriptions of those medications quadrupled from late 2020 to 2022, with 9 million prescriptions filled in the last three months of last year.

Walmart previously recorded stronger grocery sales when high inflation was driving wealthier shoppers to its stores. In summer 2022, after inflation had topped out at 9.1%, the company said it saw more customers in higher income brackets shunning expensive grocery stores in favor of Walmart's lower prices.

In a company earnings release at the time, McMillion said, “We’re pleased to see more customers choosing Walmart during this inflationary period, and we’re working hard to support them as they prioritize their spending.”
