They’ve built a culture at Sunday Golf around minimalism and having a good time. So when it came time to go a bit away from their DNA that started with the Loma Sunday bag, by building a bag designed specifically for carts, you knew it had to be a bit different.
The timing was also right. The Southern California company’s loyal followers had been asking for a bag that was opposite of the Loma, which is designed to carry six to eight clubs. And in turn, Sunday Golf surveyed its customers to find what features they wanted in a cart bag. So they came up with the aptly named Big Rig, which is really big – bigger even than the Loma XL bag. There are a dozen pockets on the Big Rig, which can store pretty much anything. I put extra clothes, a launch monitor in there, lots of golf balls in the cavernous ball pocket, and a few other odds and ends.

Then there’s the Frosty Pocket, which is the biggest Sunday Golf has ever offered. You can fill this thing with ice and a couple of beverages and keep them cold throughout the round. This is perfect for the typical weekend golfer who rides with their cart bag. In fact, the bag is billed as a weekender. And for golfers who already have a small carry bag, this is the perfect companion.
It also has a 14-way divider, which is one of the features golfers wanted in the survey. I personally don’t love the 14-way top, but it does keep the clubs from banging into each other. Plus there’s a large putter well, which further separates them.

My issue with a 14-way top on a cart bag has always been that it can be difficult to find the vacant hole as you are playing. But part of that is because I’m not very tall and can’t look down on the bag from above when taking a cart. Perhaps taller players have less trouble than I do. I also found that it’s important to have a system, that is to designate a slot for each club and not deviate from it (how you organize them is up to you). Like learning where the notes are on a piano or the keys on a typewriter, it becomes second nature where each club is and you don’t even have to really look at that point.

As you might expect, the bag can get pretty heavy when loaded, but it also works great on a push cart. It sits flat on the ground, so as long as its level and not windy, it stands up well. But it doesn’t have a stand, so you’re probably going to want to lean it against a stand when you go to the range. It also…
