It would be interesting to watch the golfer who carries this Storm Trooper golf bag. I would expect a light saber ("7-iron") battle with his partner by the 2nd green. To be released in Japan, this official Star Wars Golf bag will cost about $500 USD. There is also a Darth Vader version. I would have thought Jedis wouldn't even need clubs to put a ball in to a hole...
Implications - This Storm Trooper golf bag, although quite out of this world, would definitely be the perfect gift for any sci-fi geek who also has a passion for hitting the greens. Not only does this bag embody one's passion for Star Wars, it will also make losing one's golf clubs a whole lot harder.
