I know a lot of bowlers who have been bowling for years just carrying their shoes and ball around with them sans bag...I wouldnt' reccomend that for the well being of your equipment, but any bag that holds everything will work.
The more padding you have around your ball will help keep it from getting scratches or dings when you set it down or heaven forbid you drop the poor thing.
I would say, do what you feel like, its not a matter of you being a good bowler...You should thank your friend for giving you good advice on waiting on purchasing equipment until you know you like it and want to improve...Bowling can become a very expensive sport.
You can check at your local center, they occasionally have old bags that were left or donated for the use of others...you may be able to pick up an old bag for cheap...OR go to garage sales. I got a nice 1 ball bag and a crappy plastic ball for $5.00 a few years ago...it all worked great
just some thoughts for ya
