We respectfully add some Sun Mountain inventions to this list:
• The lightweight golf bag
• The golf stand bag
circa 1980s, the Sun Mountain Eclipse is a notable golf invention, the first golf bag with built-in legs.

For those who enjoy the intricacies of product engineering we could expand the list of golf inventions and include:
• The reverse-oriented top
• The Y-spring mechanism
