Sunday Golf El Camino review: the featherweight bag that made walking cool again
At 1.8kg the El Camino weighs less than two dozen balls, yet it still carries ten-plus clubs, keeps two cans cold and stands rock-steady on the tee. For the walking golfer who's cut back to a half-set, it's close to perfect — as long as you're not trying to lug a full 14.

Stand bag vs cart bag: which one's right for you?
Buy the wrong one and you'll fight it every round. The choice is simpler than the wall of bags suggests — it's about how you get round.
