Golf Datatech Reports Sun Mountain as Best-Selling Golf Bag


March 25, 2013. The recently released Golf Datatech 2012 retail market share report shows Sun Mountain is the best selling golf bag. This marks the third consecutive year that Sun Mountain has been the best selling golf bag in the industry. The report includes sales in carry bags and cart bags, at on-course and off-course golf specialty shops.

Ed Kowachek, president of Sun Mountain said, "We appreciate that golf shop owners and consumers continue to recognize our efforts in the design and quality of our golf bags and helped push Sun Mountain to be the best in the category."

Kowachek continued, "Good news within the numbers includes the balance we have achieved between sales at on- and off-course golf specialty stores and between cart bags and carry bags. We are not overly reliant on any one channel of distribution or any one type of golf bag, which is a very strong position for us."

The Golf Datatech retail golf market share program provides timely and accurate data on market share, unit sales, dollar sales, inventories and distribution. The research includes results for the categories of golf balls, golf clubs (woods, irons, putters and wedges), golf bags, golf shoes and golf gloves.

For 30 years Sun Mountain has been a pioneer in the golf industry, revolutionizing golf bags, golf outerwear and golf carts. Sun Mountain's many innovations, including the first lightweight golf bag and modern stand bag, have made it the top golf bag company in North America.

Within golf outerwear, Sun Mountain redefined golf-specific performance first with the windshirt, then fleece, and again with its four-way stretch, waterproof, and breathable rainwear. The Sun Mountain Speed CartŪ golf push cart transformed walking carts and created an entirely new category of golf products. Sun Mountain's "Ahead of Time Design" motto drives the company to continually design and refine golf equipment.
