The past few months have definitely allowed many of us to take on new hobbies, find new excuses to be outdoors and ways to safely social distance with others whether they are in our bubble or adjacent. Last year the Athleisure Mag team had the opportunity to head to The Northern Trust gold tournament that took place in Northern Jersey. From the media kick off the night before, where we enjoyed having Grey Goose Vodka cocktails on the 19th hole to actually attending a day of the tournament and watching Tiger Woods, Brian Koepka and some of our faves – we fell in love with the sport even more. Golf has been an activity that we have been embracing over the past few months depending on where you are located. We love that there are a number of things that you can do from being on the driving range, walking a quick nine or playing an entire course. What we love about this sport is the fact that it’s definitely one that brings your group together, you’re bound to have some laughs as you’re probably playing with a mix of skill levels.
The one thing that is a must is having your look together and having the things that you need all in one place. Once you have your look put together, it’s all about the bag – enter Sunday Golf Bag. Before we talk about the brand’s bag, it’s important to know that when playing the game, golfers have the choice of 1 of 4 bags.
- Staff Bags: These are the large tour bags that the pros have and it literally carries any club that one would need and it is generally carried by a cadie.
- Cart Bags: These are bags that are meant to be on a golf cart and just like the Staff Bags, they have a lot of weight due to how much they are holding and they don’t have a stand system.
- Stand Bags: These bags are meant to carry all 4 clubs and other essentials that you need while playing a full game. These bags are lighter that a cart bag and are used by golfers who like to walk the course.
- Sunday Golf Bag: This bag is designed for convenience – this is meant for those that want specific clubs that they need, a Par 3 courses, executive courses and hitting the range.
Knowing about these bags and what kinds will you see depending on the golfer’s needs give us more background on the brand, Sunday Golf as well as the meaning behind its name. The Loma bag is an essential accessory from having 3 different colors (Heather Gray, Cobalt Blue and Matte Black) that meets your style and merging form and function together. This is the first bag ever that has been designed for Par 3 or executive courses. You can comfortably fit up to 6-8 clubs; moreover, it great for practice at the driving range or when you’re walking a quick nine. When you’re out enjoying the game, it’s helpful when you have a a bag that is the lightest on the market coming in at 1.9lbs! Especially now as we are navigating quarantine and restrictions that exist to make sure that we’re safe, this bag has received a lot of interest from clubs who look at this as a great alternative to guests as opposed to using golf carts due to restrictions that exist around them.
Even though the Loma Bag is the lightest, we do want to share some tips on how to pack this bag.
- Clubs: Sunday Golf Bag is designed to hold 6-8 clubs. This means you need to select the ones that you think you will use when playing. If it’s a par 3 course – bring your wedges and putter. If you’re playing a casual round with friends, bring a Driver, 5-iron, 7-iron, 9-iron, a wedge and a putter.
- Essentials: There is enough storage where you can bring what you need to enjoy your day, but you should still keep it simple.
- Valuables: Just like in other bags, store them in one location.
- Situational Gear: It’s about having a good time, so make sure that you have what you need to enjoy your time out. If a cold beverage is needed, it will definitely fit in this bag as well.
We’re big believers that when you’re trying something new or wanting to step up your game, it’s all about getting the accessories so that you feel empowered to do so. In addition, we like that the Sunday Golf Bag team seem to approach the game and activity in a fun way that makes it feel attainable for everyone.
