Golf Digest Features Two Sun Mountain Products

July 2, 2020 by Steve

Golf Digest featured two Sun Mountain products in a story about the pandemic causing a return to people walking the golf course. Sun Mountain’s lightest golf bag, the 2.5+, was included as a great option as an ultra-lightweight carry bag. The Sun Mountain Pathfinder 4 was included as a best golf push cart.

The 2.5+ is available as a 4-way top or a 14-way top.

Sun Mountain golf push carts include three and four-wheel versions of the Pathfinder and the three-wheeled Speed Cart.

As the story said, “Science and data are clear: Walking is better for your health, your swing and your score.”

Sun Mountain Improves Its Lightest Golf Bag

September 20, 2017 by Steve

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.

Should you carry your bag, push a cart, or ride in a cart?

November 11, 2015 by Steve

The current issue of Golf Today NW includes an interesting article from Dr. Harry G. Sese answering the question should I ride, carry, or push.

Dr. Sese recommends that for anyone suffering from a health condition that doesn’t allow them to elevate their heart rate, but allows them to continue to play golf, riding a cart is the best option.

If you’re a rider, then you need to be sure your gear matches with a riding cart. By ensuring that you have a sturdy, yet lightweight cart bag, (like Sun Mountain’s C-130 best-selling golf cart bag) you’ll be allowing yourself the peace of mind to know that you won’t be struggling to get your bag to the cart or from the cart to the car after a long round of golf.

Dr. Sese continues by saying that if you’re relying on a round of golf for your exercise, riding is not the way to go. He recommends instead that you walk and carry your clubs or use a golf push cart. The push cart is considered by Dr. Sese to be safer than carrying your bag, for those with neck, shoulder, and back pains.

New, Lighter ClubGlider® Golf Travel Bag for 2012

January 22, 2012 by David

New for 2012, we have added the ClubGlider Journey to our offering of golf travel bags. Journey offers the same benefits as the other models in the ClubGlider series, in a smaller and lighter package.

In case you haven’t heard, ClubGlider is the next evolution in golf travel bags offering extendable legs and wheels to support 100% of the weight, while eliminating the repeated bending and lifting required with traditional travel bags. With the ClubGlider, walking around is effortless thanks to the maneuverability of the bag’s pivoting wheels.

ClubGlider is now available in three different models – Pro ($299), Meridian ($279), and the new Journey ($199).

ClubGlider Meridian is the new name for the original ClubGlider. ClubGlider Pro is the largest of the three models made to accommodate tour players oversized staff bags or two lightweight carry bags. ClubGlider Journey is the newest, smaller and lighter version of the golf travel bag. [Read more…]
