It's funny you guys mentioned the pole anchor. I was searching them last weekend and the least expensive one I found was a 6' fiberglass pole only, no holster, $60. I have a 10 footer of 1" copper pipe that fits in the scupper hole pretty good. Just have to clip it of on the side somewhere. I like the collapsible golf pole idea though, May just go that route and store in behind the seat area, thanks.
