Hi Dean – The logo comes standard on the Llama and Sherpa. If you would like any initials stitched on the bag then that will be extra. Cheers.

I really like the look of the Llama and the logo on the pocket.
Does the logo come standard or is it a special order?
By the way, I own a Mackenzie Original. I’ll be ordering a Llama
to go along with it very soon. Great bags both! Cheers!

Hi John,

These bags do not come with legs. We get that question all the time – Todd and I do not believe that legs or dual straps make for a better golf bag – but we understand that many golfers do, it is just preference.

I really like the looks of these bags so much I’m drawn back to this site often. My one concern with a bag like this is the missing stand legs. I have used a “Sunday Bag” but got away from it because I was constantly bending over to get a club or put one back.

I know I’m not being traditional here- but do your bags come with legs?

Thanks.

Our Llama and Sherpa do great on morning rounds because they are ballistic nylon instead of canvas or cordura. If you spray a water-proof coating on the zippers and seams then they are almost water tight. You can watch as the water beads off the bags.

Unless you use a stand bag, you will have to be careful with your towel or it will get wet when you put your bag down.

Man, them bags look tight. Here’s the thing – I walk all the time and got me one of them “Sunday” Titleist bags. Only thing is, I play at the crack of dawn. The bag gets wet as all get out what with the dew/water/etc… Any advice on how to/where to get a waterproof Sunday bag? Thanks dawg(s)~ mclain

Hi David,

Thank you for your questions.

The Llama and Sherpa and made out of ballistic nylon which is a water proof (and bullet proof) material. On extremely wet days it may be possible for moisture to enter the bag through the top, or possibly leak through the stitching at the bottom, but overall these bags remain very dry inside if you lay them down on wet ground.

ie) ballistic nylon repels moisture – it does not absorb moisture like canvas or even some cordura nylons.

For an additional fee, MacKenzie may be able to personalize your Llama or Sherpa with a club logo.

Please contact me for details on pricing for additional logos or stitching.

The Llama and Sherpa are sold directly through The Walking Golfer and we are proud to donate a portion of the proceeds to The First Tee of The Children’s Course.

Enjoy the walk,

Rob

How waterproof are the Llama and Sherpa? I love to carry my (Titleist canvas) Sunday Bag, but my grips get soaked even on a damp morning, so I end up transfering my stuff to a conventional stand bag any time I’m not sure the course will be fairly dry.

Can the Llama and Sherpa be personalized with a club logo?

Finally, can these bags be ordered through the pro shop at my club, or must I purchase it directly from you?

Thank you.

Yes, $225 for a golf bag that will last you many years and is handmade in Portland, OR by local workers who are understandably paid a lot more than their counterparts in Asia. So they are expensive to produce and then we ensure a portion of the proceeds are donated to The Children’s Course/The First Tee.
There is not a lot of margin in our Ballistic Nylon Bags but it is worth creating them because we know there are walking golfers who love carrying a MacKenzie Golf Bag but cannot afford the $800 custom leather version.

MacKenzie Golf Bags are not for everyone – we understand that – those of us who carry the bag have our reasons.
