I bought the bag for use when my home course is closed to trolleys. It is great for this purpose. The bag is light so that even with 11 out of my usual 14 clubs and a supply of balls, it remains easy to carry. The very slight downside is the size of the pockets. I can get my waterproofs in but if it turns warm, and winter mornings can start out cold and then warm up, I am struggling to find room for the discarded layers. However, this bag is very good value for money and I may well end up continuing to use it even when trolleys are allowed.
