Sunday Bag Setup

[hbomb]

I've ordered a Sunday bag, as I can see cases were I want to play a more casual round, and make it easier on my back to carry, and less stuff to bring with me. I can see myself using it for quick rounds at exec/par 3 courses, I often do last minute rounds at places like Scarlett Woods, Centennial Park. If i'm going on a cottage trips, non-golf vacations, etc - I might not want to lug the whole bag with me.

The bag I ordered has space for 6 clubs (not sure yet if I can squeeze more in), so I'm wondering how I would setup my bag, and curious on other peoples thoughts.

I'm thinking the following for full length courses:

• Driver
• 4h
• 7i
• PW
• SW
• Putter

For short courses:

• 5W
• 6i
• 8i
• PW
• SW
• Putter

I play 6 or 7 clubs quite a bit, for 6 I would take:

Driver
4H (20)
7 (36)
9 (44)
SW(52)
Putter
I play off a 48 degree PW so these gaps work for me, if I had one more club it would be a 3 wood or 60 degree wedge depending on the course.
It's surprising how well I score carrying a half set, maybe less choice is good

Yeah, my PW is 44 degrees, so pretty much the same setup.

I'm looking forward to trying it.

Played quite well with this setup yesterday @ Braeben, from the RED TEES, mind you, LOL.
3 SL irons, 7FW, Driver (Hi Launch). Putted with the 7FW and probably like it more than my 33" putter, especially my old back liked it a lot, not having to bend down that much.
The weak spot was the chipping with the SL SW: chunked a number of chips due to the 7i length of the SW. Need to drill to my old brain to GRIP DOWN for such shots, LOL. But when you grip down on them, the LIE BECOMES to FLAT Maybe it's time to consider going back to the "NORMAL" set of irons

I play with a Sunday bag and 14 Clubs without a problem
At age 70, I should be more realistic perhaps .....

My Sunday Bag setup for hilly courses is usually 5 clubs
Driver or 3W
6 Hybrid
8 iron

Putter

My Sunday Bag setup for flat courses would be about 8 clubs
Driver

5W
6 Hybrid
8 iron
Gap Wedge
54 Wedge
Putter

Am I assuming correctly that the 1st one is for Braeben and 2nd one for Lakeview

I used to play regularly at DV with a few friends. I would commute by subway, so I wanted to pack light. I bought a TM Quiver Sunday bag and absolutely loved it. It can actually carry between 12 - 14 clubs, but my optimal set was 10. I would go D, 3i, 5-pw, 56* sw and putter. Swapping out the 3i for a 5W or 3H was an option. To this day, I always go with a setup that's less than the full 14, no matter the course. Walk and carry, always.

It used to be that buying a 7 club set was not unusual. D-3W-5W-3i/5i/7i/9i I think.

Yup. I'm sure many of us started with that setup. And probably some variation on a Bullseye putter - more like the ones you got at mini-golf than an actual Bullseye though. Wedges? Those were unheard of.

When my wife and I travel, we take one bag and only take some of our clubs. I take driver, 5 hybrid, 6 hybrid, 9 iron and putter. It has almost no impact on my score.

My Sunday Golf bag just came in the mail! Excited to take it for a spin with:
Driver
2i, 5i, 8i
PW, SW, putter

Bag is built for 6 clubs, but I managed to plop in another club. First round this year and I don't feel like carrying much and I also don't wanna think much to help me lower my expectations lol... Let's see how this does....

Similar to yours, but instead of your 2i, 5i, i have 4HY, 6i
