New Golf Bag Made from Recycled Plastic Bottles

by

The fabric used on the new-for-2020 Sun Mountain Eco-Lite golf bag is made from recycled plastic bottles. Approximately twenty-five 20-oz bottles go into the material used in each recycled plastic golf bag. Eco-Lite is a full-featured, lightweight, stand-bag available in four different color combinations with a retail price of $219.99.

Beyond being made from recycled plastic, Eco-Lite has many of the great features offered on Sun Mountain’s top-selling stand bags. Eco-Lite has six pockets including a velour-lined valuables pocket, a full-length apparel pocket and a hydration sleeve. The roomy 9” top offers a four-way divider and a comfort-grip handle for ease in picking up the bag and setting it down.

The bag’s E-Z Lite Dual Strap System is easy to get on and off and features shoulder straps contoured for comfort. And even with all these features, this lightweight stand bag weighs under four pounds. Eco-Lite is available in four different eye-catching color combinations.

Our “Ahead of Time Design” motto drives the company to continually design and refine golf equipment.

Finn Adds Fun to Golf

by

Finn is a new electric golf scooter that’s adding fun and speeding up the pace of play at a golf course near you.

Developed by our founder, Rick Reimers, Finn has its roots in golf and the potential to grow beyond it. Finn Cycle is a two-wheeled, single-rider cycle with an electric motor and lithium battery that offers a comfortable and stable ride that leaves all who ride it smiling. Finn Cycles are currently part of the rental fleet at over 70 golf courses across the country with more cycles shipping daily. A limited number of cycles are also available for sale to the public at $3,699. To order a Finn Cycle for yourself or to Find a Finn for rental near you, go to www.FinnScooters.com.

“The inspiration for Finn is the desire to play a faster round of golf,” said Rick Reimers. “Riding Finn is invigorating and sporty while encouraging ready golf.”

The golf bag sits along the center-line of Finn Cycle offering easy golf club access and riding stability. Finn Cycle has front and rear suspension for a comfortable ride and braking with hand-operated disc brakes. The electric motor is in the rear wheel offering a sleek design. The lithium battery can go up to 36-holes on a single charge though charging after every round is suggested.

Finn travels at the same speed as a traditional golf cart, approximately 15 mph, and offers the opportunity to substantially speed up the pace of play by naturally encouraging ready golf with each player driving directly to his/her ball. With Finn, a sub-two-hour round of golf is within reach.

Reimers has a well-deserved reputation for creating innovative golf products that become industry mainstays such as the golf bag with built-in legs and the golf push cart. The company’s new products are designed to make golf fast and fun, with a goal of 18 holes in 2 hours or less.

Sun Mountain Improves Its Lightest Golf Bag

by

Since its introduction, the Sun Mountain 2Five golf bag has been the lightest, full-featured bag on the market. Weight-saving components used by Sun Mountain include carbon-fiber legs, high strength-to-weight plastics, and ultra-lightweight fabric. For 2018, the new 2.5+ will have increased durability, increased comfort, and more storage. All of these improvements without a price increase and adding only three ounces in weight.

“We added the equivalent weight of two golf balls while increasing durability, comfort and pocket space,” said Ed Kowachek, President of Sun Mountain Sports. “We’re satisfied with that trade off and think golfers will be, too.”

Some details on the improvements are:

• Added durability with a change from 70 denier to 100 denier fabric

• Increased comfort with wider shoulder straps and higher-grade padding

• Added storage with a new, zippered spine pocket and a dedicated beverage pouch

2.5+ is truly a full-size golf bag featuring a 9” top and four, full-length club dividers. 2.5+ doesn’t skimp on conveniences either, offering five pockets including a full-length clothing pocket, velour-lined valuables pocket, two accessory pockets, and a beverage pouch.

2.5+ also includes the details that have made Sun Mountain the #1 bag in golf: durable top with built-in handle, sturdy bottom with the patented Roller-Bottom leg mechanism for quick and strong leg action, Sun Mountain’s proprietary X-Strap® Dual Strap shoulder strap system, lumbar hip pad with AirFlow System, umbrella attachment, towel holder, top-mounted leg mechanism for added stability, pen holder, and a color-coordinating rainhood.

You can make if fit your style, too, with eight different color combinations.
