Beginner guide

What is a Sunday bag?

Traditionally, a Sunday bag is a slim carry bag for a short set of clubs — the kind you take for a casual loop, not a tournament bag stuffed with options.

The First 9 Sunday Bag (starter version)

For intimidated beginners we define it as three clubs:

  • Putter
  • 58° wedge
  • Pitching wedge (PW)

That is enough to play a relaxed par-3 nine, practice distance control, and skip the driver-first trap.

Why it works

  • Fewer clubs = fewer decisions on the tee
  • Lighter to carry — less fatigue, less intimidation
  • Budget stays in a used kit range (~$280–$380 with caps) instead of a full new set

What it is not

It is not a forever limit. Add clubs later when your game asks for them. Start simple so you can actually enjoy the first nine.
