Sun Mountain Adds 14-Way Top To Its Lightest Golf Bag

by

Golf bags with individual club dividers are more popular every year. To answer this demand, Sun Mountain introduced the 2.5+ 14-way bag. This lightweight golf bag with 14 dividers has a spacious 10.5″ top and weighs under four pounds. 2.5+ 14-way is available in multiple colors with a retail price of $239.99.

The 2.5+ 14-way features fourteen individual club dividers that run the full length of the bag to protect clubs and prevent the clubs’ shafts from tangling together. This is important to note as some companies’ club dividers only go partway down the bag so offer the same look and organization but do not keep the clubs from getting tangled.

The 10.5” top on the 2.5+ 14-way is constructed from lightweight, high-strength-to-weight plastic with a comfort-grip handle for ease in picking up the bag and setting it down. The shoulder strap is our exclusive X-Strap System that is easy to get on and off and works well as a single strap for short carries. The 2.5+ 14-way offers five pockets include a full-length apparel pocket; a velour-lined, valuables pocket; a ball pocket with two-way zippers, and a beverage pouch. This ultra-lightweight golf bag features highly durable carbon fiber legs with the patented Roller-Bottom leg mechanism for quick and strong leg action.

Best Sunday Golf Bag

What is a Sunday golf bag?

A Sunday bag is a lightweight golf bag meant to be easier to carry and typically smaller than a standard golf bag; intended to carry a limited number of clubs and the bare minimum of accessories.

The name originated back in the day when most people observed the Sabbath and weren’t allowed to work on Sundays, including caddies. The lack of caddies meant golfers had to carry their own bags so they opted for a smaller/lighter bag.

A typical Sunday bag has a smaller diameter top, fewer club dividers, and no structure, that is, no solid base and no side supports. Some have one rigid support and are referred to as ‘pencil’ bags.

The best Sunday golf bags offer the ultra-lightweight without skimping on features.

A premium Sun Mountain Sunday bag option is the Leather Sunday Bag. It’s constructed from supple, premium leather with a 9″ top and four, full-length dividers. It offers a classic look with modern necessities like graphite shaft protection.

Sun Mountain 2.5 stand bag was awarded Best Sunday bag by MyGolfSpy even though it’s not technically a Sunday bag. It just offers the same benefit as a Sunday golf bag – ultra-lightweight.

Sun Mountain’s lightest golf bags weigh the same as a Sunday bag while offering a full-size top, full-length club dividers, structured sides, solid base, stand mechanism, and a full complement of pockets.

Sun Mountain’s collection of ultra-lightweight golf bags offer the benefits of a Sunday bag, but with all the capabilities of a standard golf bag.

Superlight 3.5, lightweight golf bag

Lisa Ferrero won the Teva Championship with a 6-under 207 total

Congratulations to Lisa Ferrero on carrying a Superlight 3.5 bag to victory at the Teva Championship presented by Time Warner Cable. This is Ferrero’s second win of the season and lands her at the top of the LPGA Futures Tour money list.

Ferrero took the lead in round one and never looked back as she went on to win the $135,000 Teva Championship with rounds of 66-70-71 for a 6-under 207 total.

Ferrero’s is not the only fan of the Superlight 3.5, Golf Digest awarded the lightweight golf bag a Hot List Gold earlier this year with judges saying that the Superlight 3.5 is ‘the latest chapter from a company with a history of smart carry bags focused on details’. The Hot List panel further recognized the new-for-2011 cart friendly features including a cart strap tunnel that ‘prevents the bag from twisting, while allowing access to all seven pockets’.

The LPGA Futures Tour is the “Road to the LPGA” for young women golfers aspiring to professional greatness. As the official developmental tour of the LPGA, the Futures Tour affords them a preview of competition at the highest level and awards LPGA Tour cards to its top ten money earners each year.
