Finn Cycle Wins Golf Digest Editors’ Choice

by

The Finn Cycle electric golf scooter has been awarded 2020 Golf Digest Editors’ Choice – Best Club Transport.

The editors’ wrote:

“Unless you’re the sort who likes to pack your bag when playing, you need something to help you transport your clubs around the course. That can take varying forms these days depending on whether you want to walk, ride or even cruise around The Villages.

In the alternative-riding category, the street-bike-like Finn Cycle remains our choice for its ease of use, reduced wear on the course and ability to improve pace of play. We also have a repeat in our alternative-walking category with Club Car’s Tempo Walk, which allows you to have the device haul your bag while you walk slightly ahead of it as it dutifully follows you as if you had a caddie. Just don’t ask it for a yardage.”

ClubGlider Pro Awarded Golf Digest Editors’ Choice

by

The Sun Mountain ClubGlider Pro was named 2020 Golf Digest Editors’ Choice for Best Golf Travel Bag.

The editors’ said:

“For the last few years Sun Mountain’s ClubGlider Meridian has been our top choice for travel cover. But what if you could have all the goodies that come with that model and make it large enough where you could possibly stuff two bags instead of one inside? When traveling you want as few bags as possible and the ability to possibly eliminate one is why the company’s ClubGlider Pro is our choice this year.

Starting with the pivoting handle that leaves you in control of the travel bag instead of fighting with it, the ClubGlider Pro addresses pretty much all the niggling things golfers tend to gripe about when it comes to travel covers. It has plenty of cushioning, so there’s no worry about club breakage, and has pockets to store anything you’re going to need on a golf trip and then some. Then there is the technology: a retractable stand with wheels that lets you cruise effortlessly to and through the baggage check line without constantly having to prop the travel cover up in a standing position. At your destination, the cover folds up easily and doesn’t take up all your trunk space.

In fact, about the only thing you need to worry about is airline weight limits for bags if you’re putting two of them in together.”

Golf Digest Names Pathfinder the Best Golf Push Cart

by

For the 2020 Golf Digest Editors’ Choice Awards, the Sun Mountain Pathfinder 4  was named the Best Golf Push Cart – four wheels. The editors’ said:

best golf push cart“Sun Mountain has been making pushcarts for 20 years, and it shows in the execution of its lines. The four-wheeled Pathfinder 4 was designed to make it easier to get your clubs in and out of the bag by making a steeper angle for the bag as it sits in the pushcart. With your bag sitting more upright, you can pull clubs out and put them back in without having to jam them around. When folded up, this cart measures 26x16x14 inches, making it easy to pack in your trunk. Weighing 17 pounds, it’s also light enough for anyone to lift. With bungee cords and an adjustable bracket, the Pathfinder 4 fits basically any size bag you have. The pushcart comes with a rangefinder holder, and you have the option to buy accessories—everything from cooler bags to umbrella holders.”
