In this Sunday Golf Bag review I take the 3 club challenge to show you why golf can be so much MORE with LESS. I’ve got my Sunday Golf El Camino bag stocked only with a 3 hybrid, 7 Iron and a wedge.

Some great points made in this video!
I took the same advice about hitting clubs different distances from an old Nick Faldo VHS, and my favourite shot to play is choking down on a 3 hybrid which i hit about 175, but get a really predictable draw with that shot.
Most times I game 10 clubs. Driver, 3H, 5-SW + the essential putter! I took out the 3+5 fairways as my home course is pretty short.
Some nice quality features on that bag!
I play with 6 irons and a putter, and 2 Drivers and a 5 wood. That is all! No more! My Irons are: 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 – Sand wedge. That Golf instructor is right! Put your clubs on Google sheets, put down what club, what flex R S, A? , weight of the shaft, Type of shaft, and what is your distant!
Great video, really like the bag too! The concept of less clubs is awesome, get creative out there!
Most of us started out with a starter set of Northwestern Clubs that had a Driver, 3 Wood, 3, 5, 7, 9 Irons and a putter…That's Seven Clubs…Other than adding a Sand Wedge or Dual Purpose Wedge (Tommy Armour 58* Over and Out), for an eighth club, do we REALLY NEED more than that!?!?!?
I can see where some would replace a club or two…Take out the 3W for a 5W, or replace the 3I with a 3H, or maybe replace the 5I with a 5H, or maybe just go with a Driver, 5W and a 2, 4, 6 and 8 irons with a dual wedge and putter…That's 8 clubs as well.
Sometimes Less is MORE!!!
I like the idea of a little half bag, sunday casual kinda set up but i never walk so its to easy to just load the whole bag even tho i almost never pull the 60 out. I fully agree with hitting different clubs different ways. I have a pretty decent 8iron bump and run and a nice 4iron punch/punch cut when needed. I cant say ive never thrown a club.
Your swing is so ugly 🙁
Gabe, 2 times a week I play with some of my coworkers who play from the 3rd of 4 tees. They are older and don't hit the ball very far. It is a ton of fun since they are all funny guys. I play with them and play irons only. My longest iron is a 5 iron and it has helped me immensely with ball striking. I almost never take a penalty stroke and am usually around 0-4 over par. Since doing that I have shot my only 3 rounds under par from the tips.
Highly entertaining and information-filled, and you got a review done in the process!
I used to carry and walk almost everywhere. Even where it wasn't recommended. Even when the golf cart was included. But, with age, I surrendered to using a trolley. For many years, I used a manual trolley. Recently, I purchased an electronic trolley with a remote. AWESOME! It allows me to walk a lot of courses, especially when playing 9 holes.
When I carried all the time, I used a 7"-diameter bag weighing 2.5 lbs. I loved the slimmed-down nature of it, as I didn't like carrying a lot of gear anyway. I don't think I'll be carrying anymore, however, especially since getting an electric trolley. Love the back you're showing, however. Good stuff.
Yep, 70% of short puts don't go in.
What a learning tool this video is. You really show how we can adapt to different situations and utilize our clubs. Great job, thanks Gabe.
Good points throughout including points about enjoying sport/game.
What's up Gabe! Talk about a bare bone set… 😂.
I have an unrelated question… Are you planning to do a golf Meetup this year @Carrollwood or anywhere?
Since I am carrying a lot less clubs now a smaller bag makes sense. I have a range bag, but it's too small. This one might be perfect. I only carry every other iron now and one wedge and one hybrid so don't need the huge cart bag I have now. Something I need to get hand on though. Still good review of one option.
Another great video. Thank you. I definitely second on carrying less clubs. I occasionally take bag w/o woods/driving irons and/or go every other clubs (Dr, 2I, 5I, 7I, 9I, etc). This really helps with gapping and matching of clubs. It also teaches you about how variable your distance can be depending on where the ball lands and/or types of lie you are hitting off even with same type of ball strike. I appreciate your review on the Sunday golf bag, I’ve been eyeing on it. I believe the website claims it can carry up to 7 clubs, do you agree?
Awesome vid, great review, good tips! 👊🏼
That's a nice Sunday bag!
Question of the day is. Do you choke up on a baseball bat and down on a golf club? 🐊🏌🇺🇲
Put your rangefinder in the netting where you have that single ball. You are going to use your laser every hole and you are not going to use that 2nd ball at all (hopefully). Those zippers will wear out if you are going into that same pocket 10 to 15 times every 9 holes looking for the laser.
fewer, not less.
I recently played a round and on the front 9 my driver, woods, and hybrids were just not working at all. Shot a 47. So on the back 9, I put those clubs away and basically used a 6 iron to tee off and then shorter irons and wedges from there on in and shot a 41. Sometime less really is more.
I usually play without my 5 iron and 60 degree wedge so I normally play with 12 clubs.
I love my El Camino, and it’s a great travel golf bag.
I love playing from different tee boxes. If I can get an early morning solo booking I will play 2 balls from 2 different boxes
Maybe my regular tee boxes and all the way up to the nearest boxes. Before covid I was able to do this a lot easier, but my local courses are Is still much more crowded them before. It really helped me learn to play alot of different shots. I would keep score from my Regular tee at times. Alot of the time I wouldn't, and if there was no one behind me I would drop alot of balls and hit many different shots especially with the scoring clubs. I was late to golf vs alot of my friends so I found this was one if the ways I was able to "catch up" playing 2 rounds at a time almost really helped me take advantage of my time. Thanks again for a great video and I will try this taking a few clubs out soon!
This is a great one Gabe!!! 👏
I have played with 12 clubs in my bag the last four years
Driver,3W, 4 hybrid,5-PW, GW and SW and putter. I walk a lot so works good to make the bag a little lighter
Great video Gabe…I wish I played enough to mix it up and go out with fewer clubs, different tees, etc…Hopefully that day will come soon…and when it does, I will definitely do some of these things…
My set is driver, 3 wood 4 hybrid 4 iron 6 iron 8 iron PW SW and putter. Only 2 sleeves of balls, 1 towel, few tees. Very light bag to carry 👍🏽🏌🏽♂️
Thanks Gabe for the mentioning. This a game/sport to have fun. We are not making living playing golf.
Love my 0211DC but the Sunday Bag I might just buy the Elcamino
Well said 👍 sometimes we all take it a little to serious 🤢
Worked on the Banff golf course and the guys I golfed with we had a 3 club challenge,1 wood,iron and putter ,and really was great fun ,plus you learned how to shoot different shots plus surprising our scores were very close to what normally did
well I carry 3 drivers 2 putters a host of hybrid I can barely lift the bag. pushing 20 minimum
I play 3h, 5i, 7i, 9i, 50*w, 56*w, putter. I use the Loma XL. I play from the senior tees. I walk all the time, unless I’m with a friend who refuses. I shoot low to mid 80’s usually, and I never do better with more clubs.
