...found the perfect solution. The Wilson Levitator.
It is a lightweight, graphite friendly bag which has a built in double shoulder strap and stand. It cost £79 from my local golf pro (he advised me this is quite a new and so far very popular design) I believe it comes in several different colour combinations although I did not get the choice but am happy with the blue with yellow coloured pockets. There is plenty of storage space with ... ...golf balls, tees etc and it comes complete with head cover and also has a drinks holder.
It is perfectly weighted for carrying clubs and the stand is at the perfect height and angle to prevent it falling over or being blown over by the wind (I suppose that one depends on where you play!) The only downfall I find is that it can only be put on and removed from the right side or you spill golf clubs everywhere!!
Having always used a trolley to carry my golf clubs round the course and being entirely fed up with always being the one taking the longest route, I decided recently to switch to a new golf bag.
Several of my friends all use the new type of carrying strap which allows you to carry the clubs weighted equally over each shoulder which helps prevent possible back and shoulder problems caused by the traditional bag strap.
As I also required to buy a stand to prop up my new bag, I shopped around and eventually found the perfect solution. The Wilson Levitator.

This is one I will certainly be recommending to my freinds.

History
<><><><>
~ ~ The Wilson Sporting Goods Company began back in 1913, as the result of a slaughterhouse in Chicago looking for new and innovative ways to use the by-products of their gruesome trade.
They hit on the clever idea of using pig’s bladders in the manufacture of American footballs, and thus the Wilson company was born.
Their first venture into the golf market was the manufacture of golfbags, using the hide of the animals they had slaughtered, when in 1916 they set up a company called the “Indestructor Caddie Bag Co.”
~ ~ In 1920 they signed up the famous American golfer of that era, Jock Hutchison, (naturally enough, of Scottish origins) as their very first endorsed athlete, and began the manufacture of golf clubs called, appropriately, the “JH” range.
Two years later, in 1922 ...
