Rain gear can certainly be cumbersome - when I lived in Portland the challenge was making the umbrella work with gloves and trying not to get soaked when you put down the bag. I quite enjoy playing with a pushcart and brolly holder when it's raining then it's easy to hide and keep your clubs dry when you are not hitting a shot. Although sometimes on uphills all the water can roll off the umbrella and onto your back! Cheers To each his own – no worries there.

I have now read your article in a different section on the website where you explain the idea of ditching the umbrella. I like it and it does reduce weight somewhat. However I have actually taken a different route on rain. I prefer to have an umbrella and no rain gear. I have made too many bad swings in rain gear and do not find them comfortable at all. The brolly has also saved me in extremely heavy rain which can appear on a sunny day at any moment here in the UK. So I take the umbrella and just get a bit wet when I play a shot. If I could find the perfect rain gear perhaps I would drop the brolly. Anyway the I love companies that will customise for the customer and so I am excited about Mackenzie. Hi Rob,

I never carried an umbrella in Portland which is a similar climate, just had some really good rain gear. I understand that many people like to carry an umbrella though - MacKenzie might be persuaded to customize a bag if a golfer was interested. Hi Ben,

I believe the Sunday Walker has a 7 inches diameter opening. Thanks. Just wondering if a smaller version can be made similar to the the Sunday Walker.

It has been a long time since I weighed one - at the end of the day it is what you put in the bag that matters. Each club, six balls, range finder, etc. adds a pound to your bag. The Llama and Sherpa are very helpful in encouraging a golfer to keep things simple and only carry what really matters. Enjoy the walk, Rob Hi John,
