Hi, this is Steve from Madabout Golf. Welcome to the channel. This is my Sun Mountain PX4 cart and sitting on top of it is my Sun Mountain Ecoite stand bag. Now, stand bags are designed to be carried. This one never gets carried. So, why don’t I carry my Sun Mountain Ecoite stand bag as much as I thought I would? Well, I think what tends to happen is, and this is not just me, I think this happens to a lot of golfers around the world, is you get used to it on a cart. So you start loading it up with stuff like it’s a cart bag and it’s not a cart bag, right? So for example, let’s have a look in here. What have I got in here? I’ve got my rain jacket in case it rains. Also got an umbrella here. Right. So if I’ve got an umbrella, what do I really need that? Right. Uh then I’ve got a hat in case it’s really really cold. Nice woolly hat. Then I’ve got some sort of vest. Yep. Nice little vest here again in case it gets a bit cold cuz it’s winter here in New Zealand. Then I got my rain cover, right? Uh going around here, I’ve got dozen Prov1’s and another six because obviously I’m expecting to lose 18 golf balls in a round of golf. Right. And going around the side here, the other pocket got your glove, your TE’s, and all that sort of stuff. So, doesn’t seem like much, but what I found is when I on the occasion decided to go play golf and carry my bag, it was really heavy, right? And I had no idea how much all this extra stuff actually adds to the weight of a bag. So, what we’re going to do is we’re going to put it all back in and then I’m going to weigh it with all that stuff in it. And then I’m going to weigh it without that stuff in it and see what the difference is. Okay. So, I’ve taken the bag off the cart, put it down. This is what if I was like quickly going to decide to not use my card, I’ll pick up my bag, right? And I’ve got a baggage uh luggage weight checker device here. So, let’s see how much it weighs with everything in it. 10.45 kgs. Let’s put it down. Okay, what we’re going to do, we’re going to take out things I I don’t think you need, right? So, let’s get rid of the Broly. Uh because I’ve got a rain jacket. Don’t really need that, I don’t think. Uh then let’s go to the side pocket. Uh rain jacket we’re going to keep. We need that hat. This is warm enough. Fine. Uh the uh vesty thing. No, don’t need that. Rain cover. I never I never can be asked to put any on. So, we’re going to take that out. Put this back in like so. Golf balls. So, I’ve got 18 in the bag at the moment. Right. I’m going to take out a dozen. I’ve got six left. If I lose those six golf balls in a round of golf, I’m walking off, right? I’m walking off. Uh, anything else I can take out? No, we need the TE’s and all that sort of stuff. Glove. So, yeah, just those are the main things. I wonder how much of a difference that’s going to make. Let’s have a look. Let’s just reset it. And we are down to 8.45 kgs. So, what’s that? 2.5 2.05 kgs difference between having all that crap in there and then taking the stuff out. And now when I put it on, it feels light as Honestly, it’s unbelievably light compared to when I used to try it with everything in it. So yeah, lesson learned about if you buy one of these bags, think about why you’re not using it. For me, it was just like I I played I used it for a couple of rounds and I was just like, “Nah, it’s too heavy.” Like remember one round I played it got to about the 13th or 14th hole and I was almost dead. But taking all that crap out, which you don’t really need that stuff, right? Um it actually becomes something that’s viable to use again. So yeah, anyway, I’d love to know what your thoughts are, whether you agree um if you’ve got one of these bags that’s permanently sits on your cart when it’s actually designed to be carried. um whether you have the the same sort of thoughts about it and how how you use it or if you use it at all. Um because I think a lot of golfers buy them for like I did with the purpose of having the flexibility of both but ends up just being a car bag. And if you’re going to do that, if you just do prefer a trolley or a cart bag, you might as well get a proper one, right? That’s actually bigger. It’s got the individual slots, more storage. If you’re going to buy one of these, you should use it, but make sure it’s light when you use it. Don’t don’t drag all that other stuff around that you don’t really need to take with you. So yeah. Uh anyway, hope you enjoyed the video. Please subscribe if you did and give us a thumbs up and we’ll see you in the next one. Cheers. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music]

You should weigh Jamie M's bag
Can't believe you carry that many golf balls and expect to see you carry next Saturday
