Stand Bags

A perennial favourite of ours, because the hoofer just seems to do everything a walking golfer needs… and do it really well.

It’s light enough not to be a burden; it has loads of handy pockets which are always accessible; it’s durable, packed with features and for 2020 a re-engineered back puck makes it easier to convert to a single strap.

A 14-way divider is backed up by 11 pockets.

Sun Mountain don’t make balls or clubs, so they spend their whole time obsessing over the details of their golf bags.

This one weighs a barely believable 2.2kg, but is 100% waterproof – and that’s why it’s won.

Other details we like include the really comfortable strap and big pockets.

Big Max Aqua Hybrid 2 – £239

the Big Max could have slotted into the stand or trolley bag awards, as it does both equally well – and that’s why we love it.

If you want to walk nine holes on a summer’s evening, it’s a brilliant carry bag. But thanks to its flat base, it’s just as at home on a trolley.

Throw in a 14-way divider, seven pockets, air channel straps for breathability and waterproofing (Big Max say it can withstand 10,000mm of rainfall in a day without letting moisture in) and it’s a winner.
