WITB Time Machine: What Charles Howell III was playing in August, 2015
Editor’s note: For as much fun as it is to see what’s in a player’s bag right now, it’s also pretty intriguing to take a backward glance at a golfer’s WITB to see what has changed—and what hasn’t. We’re calling this feature “WITB Time Machine.” We started with Tiger Woods’ WITB from August of 2015. Now, let’s take a look at one of our favorite pros’ setups from the same month. CH3 is one of our favorite tinkerers, and as you can see from the shot of his full bag, he was tinkering away earlier that year when we shot his bag—he set roster below for the 2015 Barbasol Championship.
