Sun Mountain Golf Push Cart Makes Walking Easier

Mike Bailey of WorldGolf.com recently posted a story about his first-hand experience using a Sun Mountain Speed Cart SV1 golf push cart.

In the article Mike asserts, “The best part about using the SV1, however, is that it brings golf back to its roots. Being able to walk from the tee directly to the fairway and the green is the way golf was meant to be played — not from the sides of the course and the cart path.” Continue Reading »

C-130 is Best Golf Cart Bag

Sun Mountain’s C-130 golf bag remains the company’s best-selling golf cart bag as it enters its seventh year in production. Every year the designers at Sun Mountain have made improvements and modifications but the foundation of the bag has remained constant: individual club-divided, reverse-oriented top; enough pocket space to live up to its cargo-plane referencing name; all pockets accessible even when the bag is on a cart; and light enough that it can be easily carried from car to cart.

Sun Mountain Golf Cart Bag Gets Rave Reviews

The new for 2012 KG:3 golf cart bag is the subject of a nice review by golf equipment review website, ThreeGuysGolfBlog.com.

The reviewer states:

“….One overlooked feature that I think is equally important is a well designed strapping system for securing the bag to the cart. Specifically, when you strap your bag on a cart you not only want it to be tightly attached but also maintain accessibly to the pockets. This is where the Sun Mountain KG3 shines. You will notice that the bag has a slot on either side where the cart strap goes through.”

The new for 2012 KG:3 golf cart bag is light in weight (weighing only 6.5 lbs) but heavy in features offering individual club protection, multiple lift assist handles and pockets specific to the needs of the 21st century golfer.

The KG:3 cart bag includes a 10.5”, 15-way divided top offering full-length club protection and a separate putter well for easy access. The top of the KG:3 also includes Sun Mountain’s patent-pending three handle-holds offering convenient spots to grab with both hands when lifting the bag onto a cart. An additional hand-hold incorporated into the base of the bag offers an easy place to hold when lifting the bag in and out of a car trunk.

Graphics on the KG:3 are noticeably modern, in keeping with the new-from-the-ground-up design philosophy used on this bag. Color combinations for 2012 include: black/white/lime, black/yam/gunmetal, navy/blue/yellow, blue/titanium/lava, and black

KG:3 retail price of $229. For the retailer nearest you, call 800-227-9224 or visit www.sunmountain.com.

View the Headwind: Men’s Golf Windshirt :: Women’s Golf Windshirt

Recently, some members of the Golf Partners Club tested the Headwind golf windshirt and here are a few of their comments:

I golfed in windy, drizzly 40-degree days here in Wisconsin, and this shirt completely blocked the wind — and the drizzle beaded up and fell right off. I was dry and comfortable and I didn’t have to do anything other than give a good shake at the end of the round. Lightweight and roomy, it’s as if I didn’t have the shirt on. The fabric is quiet also — no swishy sounds of cheap raingear. — John Wirtz
