Anyone know do mcguirks or golf works do them, the ones you can put your name on. Also what would the bag be like(good size and quality), and what sort of price?

i thought it was illegal for amateurs to have personalised equipment, granted you'd want to be a right blolix to complain about someone having their name on the bag, but those kind of people are out there, be careful buddy.
edit: it seems perfectly alright

here's somthing from the Royal canadian golf association, but i don't know if thats true over here

With regard to golf bags, it is permissible for the bag to bear the name of the manufacturer in large letters but, if it does, the golfer must not also arrange
for his own name to appear on the bag in large letters. If he does, he may be deemed to be advertising the merchandise of that manufacturer and shall be liable to forfeit his Amateur Status. The same applies to bag covers and hold all bags.

however the R&A has this, which indicates it may be allright, no clear cut FAQ from them,

18. I am a County player and I was given a free golf bag by a bag manufacturer. Can I put my name on the bag?

Yes. The golf bag must be of the type that is normally available at a retail source and bear the name of the manufacturer only in addition to the name of the player. The golf bag must not bear the name of any company other than that of the bag manufacturer.

finally this is from the R&A rule pamphlet available on the same link as above
