SAN DIEGO, CA, January 17, 2007 Tri-Bag has named Dave Burningham, a seasoned golf industry professional, President of Tri-Bag North America as part of its global expansion plans. Dave Burningham brings 15 years of industry experience, including senior roles at MacGregor Golf and Tommy Amour Golf, and 25 years of business management expertise.
Tri-Bag International Founder and Managing Director Michelle Bray says, "Dave’s track record in the golf industry is outstanding. He brings a great understanding of our core US and Canadian customers and their evolving needs. I am confident that Dave’s industry knowledge, leadership qualities and proven customer focused planning will help us become a well known brand for golfers who enjoy walking the course while playing the game."
"I am excited to head up the North America operations. Tri-Bag is a very unique product and creates a new category in Golf Bags. I am pleased to hear from so many retailers that are ready to take at once shipments for this upcoming golf season. Tri-Bag provides golfers that enjoy walking with an alternative bag system that offers maximum flexibility. I look forward to working with the Tri-Bag employees, investors and customers to create a great company that offers real value long-term. We will accomplish this by hiring and retaining talented employees that understand the needs of their customers and are willing to listen to the voice of the consumer."
"The Tri-Bag is one of the more inventive bags that I’ve seen in awhile. Its common sense design approach prompts "why didn’t I think of that" with customers when it’s shown in the shop almost every time. It’s a well-designed bag, but it is the flexibility with the wheels that makes it a winner, "says Ken Morton Jr. of Haggin’ Oaks Golf Shop in Sacramento California.
Prior to accepting the position with Tri-Bag, Mr. Burningham was the Vice President of Sales for MacGregor Golf and before that Regional Sales Manager for Tommy Amour Golf Company. Before the golf industry, Mr. Burningham held Management positions at both Kimball International, an office furniture manufacturer, and at Xerox Corporation.
