There are golf courses that claim their designs will have you using “every club in the bag,” but most golfers rarely use all 14 clubs during a round. I could have easily gotten by during my last round without one of my hybrids and my 3-wood for starters. And many players certainly don’t use their long irons enough to justify them. This is part of the concept behind the new El Camino Stand Bag from Sunday Golf, which takes its place among the best carry bags on the market.

Among those pockets is a “frosty” insulated pocket, which can hold four cold beverages. The ball pocket is certainly big enough to comfortably hold a dozen balls, plus there are three netted pouches inside for tees or whatever…
