OGIO Goes to Gotham

GothamWe heard about OGIO’s Gotham line of golf bags earlier this year. These were unveiled in January at the PGA 2014 Merchandise Show in Orlando, Fla., the Stand Bag and Cart Bag feature OGIO’s cutting-edge, revolutionary design and technology. The bags are now arriving at retail and you don’t need to be Batman to pick one up.

“There is a lot more to golf than driving for show and putting for dough; golfers today want to represent ‘their look’,” commented Tom Gocke, OGIO’s Global Golf VP. “Combined with a proprietary blend of exotic water, stain repellent fabrics and evolutionary construction techniques, the Gotham golf bag collection delivers a head turning appearance with a feather-light feel.”

The bag collection reduces the zippers to make for a sleek design, while it offers six interior protected pockets for easy access to balls, tees, valuables and any additional golf gear. And yet this bag weights less than four pounds and features OGIO’s four point-strap system and 7-way Holster performance top with side putter pit. We noted this could appeal to a particular caped crusader when we first heard about the bag. If Batman were going to play golf we’d expect him to have some super hero worthy golf bag and the Gotham golf bag collection might just be it. And yeah, we think Robin would make one good caddy.

PGA 2014 Merchandise Show: It’s In the Bag

OGIO-GothamBatman likely doesn’t have time for golfing – you know with all that crime fighting stuff he does. Alter ego Bruce Wayne probably does swing a bit, at least to keep up appearances. Either way OGIO has just the bag for billionaire crime-fighting playboys.

Introduced last week at the PGA 2014 Merchandise Show in Orlando the OGIO Gotham golf bag collection features both stand and cart bags, which combine a proprietary blend of fabrics and construction techniques that will make every golfer feel like a superhero.

The Gotham includes innovative speed zippers for easy access to balls and tees, and creatively placed internal storage compartments (something we suspect a crime fighter might appreciate). The Gotham collection also features OGIO’s four point-strap system for the ultimate in carrying comfort – because not everyone has the strength of a superhero.

Miura Limited Edition Bag

If you happen to have some serious golf clubs – such as Miura clubs by chance – you don’t want to stick them in just any golf bag. Miura Golf, the maker of forged irons, apparently understood this and released its own Limited Edition Tour Bag.

“The world’s finest forged golf clubs deserve the very best bag — and for players who prefer a tour look, Miura’s new tour-style golf bag is the perfect home for Miura clubs”, said Adam Barr, president of Miura Golf

The 9-inch diameter top features six dividers that offers plenty of room for 14 clubs, while the carrying strap can be optimized for two- or three-point harness. The “belly” pocket can hold a rain suit and pair of shoes, plus there is even a hidden umbrella pocket so golfers can be prepared should the weather conditions change. It is made of high quality enamel-finish polyurethane that will endure years of travel. And yet this bag weighs in at just 9.5 pounds. So while it works well on a golf cart or three-wheel push cart this might be one you don’t mind carrying.
