I’m a big fan of late afternoon “emergency nines” with nothing but a few clubs, a couple of golf balls and a lightweight golf bag. This year, I’ve had the perfect companion for it.
I picked up a Jones Rover Carry bag late last year and it’s been a mainstay in the trunk of my car, ready for action when called upon since.
And right now, you can get the Jones Rover R Carry bag for a steal, $70 off for just $145 on FairwayJockey.com. This bag normally retails for $215 and all four colors on Fairway Jockey (black, charcoal, clay green and la creme) are all part of the sale.

This carry bag has become my favorite for a number of reasons, but mainly because of the double strap system which allows me to comfortably carry it the same way I would my regular stand bag. There’s no more deciding if I want to use a carry bag and then continually reaching for the left side strap which is never there.
At just 3.8 lbs I have absolutely no strain throwing in 4, 5, 6 or 7 clubs for a late afternoon nine, but the bag is certainly big enough for your entire set if you’d just like a smaller load for a full round.
I currently keep the Rover carry bag in my trunk as a companion to my Rover Stand bag as it barely takes up any space and can be quickly utilized by throwing a few clubs into and heading to the tee. It’s also a great bag to use with players who are newer to the game as it’s super easy to carry, especially for just a few clubs.
You also have a bonus of a cooler pocket on the spine of the bag that can easily hold my 32 oz water bottle or some ice and a couple of cold beverages of choice.
And just in case you need to bring a jacket or sweatshirt, the underside pocket is plenty big enough to get a full rain suit in.
