We have been using the Crew Caddy by ParAide for the past 6 years and really like it. It is costly up front, but have saved a lot of dings and dents around the cups. We used to use the 5 gallon bucket with a work pouch in it for holding tools, but had issues with staff not being careful and setting bucket down on green hard...especially if bucket was heavy with excess dirt or sand. We went to the Crew Caddy because we were able to carry more tools such as cup painter, water bottle for plugs, and it has curved edges so if it is not set down just right, it still does not leave any marks in the greens. We used the bucket for many years and it is still a good system as long as the person changing cups pays close attention. One thing we did do to our 5 gallon buckets was that we used a grinder and removed the edge on the bottom of the bucket so that it was smooth...this helped a lot.
Good Luck!
