What is a Sunday golf bag?
A Sunday bag is a lightweight golf bag meant to be easier to carry and typically smaller than a standard golf bag; intended to carry a limited number of clubs and the bare minimum of accessories.
The name originated back in the day when most people observed the Sabbath and weren’t allowed to work on Sundays, including caddies. The lack of caddies meant golfers had to carry their own bags so they opted for a smaller/lighter bag.
A typical Sunday bag has a smaller diameter top, fewer club dividers, and no structure, that is, no solid base and no side supports. Some have one rigid support and are referred to as ‘pencil’ bags.
