The clubs were found safely tucked inside Club Glove’s travel bags
HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA (June 12, 2006) — West Coast Trends, Inc., makers of the Club Glove, the Number One travel bag on all Tours and in college golf, today reports that recently five sets of golf clubs survived a high speed tumble on an Arizona freeway en route to a college golf tournament. All five sets were found safely tucked inside Club Glove’s Burst Proof with Wheels Travel Bags with no damage whatsoever. Team players at the scene commented that without the Club Glove protection, our golf clubs likely would not have survived.
The incident occurred on April 8, 2006 as the University of Texas, El Paso (UTEP) golf team was on its way to the University of Wyoming Cowboy Classic golf tournament in Scottsdale, Arizona. The team had rented a mini van and strapped their golf clubs securely on top of the van. Or so they thoughtâ?¦
This from Rick Todd, Golf Coach for UTEP, "We were driving down the freeway going about 75 mph when one of my players yelled "Oh ****!". I looked through the rear view mirror and saw our travel bags cart-wheeling down the freeway. We stopped immediately and were very fortunate to have collected all of our gear."
"We anxiously opened them up and inspected the clubs," continued Todd. "We were absolutely elated to find that not one club was broken or bent. The only damage, if you can call it that, was a limited amount of scraping on the travel bags from hitting the pavement going 75 mph. Amazingly the bags are still completely intact and fully functional! All I can say is a big thank you to Club Glove for making an incredibly durable product."
The Burst Proof with Wheels was specifically designed for lightweight carry bags (up to an 8.5" diameter bag) and is the most popular travel bag in college golf. It is constructed from 1000 D Invista Cordura® Plus Nylon and a patented high-impact plastic wheel base that cradles and shields the bottom of the bag. Extra thick foam padding is built into the bag with a club head security strap for maximum protection from the wear and tear of travel. In-line skate wheels with bearings make it incredibly easy to roll the bag through college campuses, airports and wherever else you need to take your clubs.
