Sorry for the new thread, the others on the subject are all over the place and I wanted an area for folks to see how easy and cheap this "system" is.
I will get pictures up of this later.
Bought a Walgreens bag for $5
Bought some 1/2" PVC and fasteners (10 elbows, 2 "T" slip joints) for about $3
Tools needed: Hacksaw (or anything that will cut PVC. A bread knife will get the job done, though may take longer). Tape measure or ruler (optional as you don't have to be exact)
First I made a simple boxed "U" frame, as the first purpose of this for me was to provide rigidity for the bag to stand up on its own. I made the length and the width of the U so that it fit in snuggly and I had to kind of work the top of the bag over the ends a bit. Not too tight as to put stress on the bag once in place though.
The width also made it so that the discs are resting on the pvc and not on the bottom of the bag.
Once I got the basic U the way I wanted it, I took the two long pieces out to put a divider in the middle using the T joints. I chose to make the divider off center, providing one larger side. The larger side will hold about 9-10 discs without getting jammed and the smaller will hold about 6-7.
I cut the two pieces into two smaller sections to be joined back together with the T section. Because of the T section, I had to take off an addition inch of pipe from each side.
I also chose to make the middle divider lower in height then the ends so that it does not stick up above the discs and makes them easier to get out, yet still stands them up straight.
Total time it took was about an hour, but I tinkered a bit and measured a lot.
I did not glue the pieces together as the bag holds it all together tightly. If it gets loose, I will come back and apply a bit of pvc glue to snug it up.
I chose 1/2" pvc to keep the weight down, and to take up as little space as possible while still providing a rigid frame.
I liked this design over others because it is minimalistic, yet will keep your discs upright, your bag upright, and provides two compartments. I can keep my putter in one of the side zip pockets for easy access, and have room for a towel, drink, socks, etc.
Like I said, I will put pictures up soon for anyone wanting to try this but needs the visual to "see" it.
