Ideas
Back in 1998, during his travels as a Sales Representative, Rick Mullen
began to wonder why he had never seen a vehicle carrier designed specifically
for carrying golf equipment. Over the course of the next year, he formulated
the design for just such a device. In 1999, while on spring break with
his family, he was amazed by the number of overloaded vehicles heading
South. Many were so overloaded that there was no rear window visibility
whatsoever. He noticed a common theme - golf bags and clubs.
Upon
his return, back to Wisconsin, he began to discuss his idea with
fellow golfers. It became apparent that lack of vehicle space was
a major issue for many golfers; others thought it would be great
to have a more convenient way to transport their golf equipment
for a variety of reasons including health. In response to these
discussions, improvements to the original design were made and a
prototype was built. Additional improvements were made, and rigid
standards for quality, versatility, durability, simplicity, security,
safety and style were implemented. The Golfins® Golf Bag Travel
System (patents pending) became a reality.
Implementation
You are about to discover the Golfins® Golf Bag Travel System (GBTS)
where high tech and high style unite, to deliver a simple, sporty solution
for your golf equipment transportation needs. Over two years of product
design and development have been invested to bring to you the most innovative
and stylish golf product available on the market today.
From the diamond plate aluminum base (the same material that is used
to make loading docks) to the linear low density polyethylene covers (the
same material that is used to make pallets and children's playground equipment)
Golfins® has put the highest quality materials into every GBTS. All
steel components are either zinc plated and/or E-coated, powder coat painted
(which is baked on) or polyvinyl coated. Add stainless steel bolts and
nylon/stainless steel locknuts, along with powder coat painting (which
is baked on) on all aluminum surfaces, and our tubular camlock coupled
with an ingenious three point locking mechanism for each cover, and you
have an unbeatable combination of style, security and durability.
The Golfins® GBTS attaches to virtually all vehicle hitches and will
carry two golf bags, golf clubs, two pair of shoes and other accessories
to destination points throughout the world stylishly, safely and securely.
The wheeled base allows for the ultimate in club storage when you are
not golfing (perish the thought) providing a secure, dust free, U.V. resistant
and pest free sanctuary for your golf bag, clubs and accessories.
Innovation
In order to meet the rigid standards that Rick had set for Golfins®
Products, the Golfins® Golf Bag Travel System had to be versatile.
It was imperative that not only could a person transport their golf equipment
on a vehicle hitch and use their Golfins® GBTS to store their golf
equipment, it must also be adaptable for airline travel. The Golfins Travel
Case was born. The Golfins® GBTS covers are convertible into mobile,
locking travel cases with the purchase of a Golfins® Travel Case Conversion
Kit.
The Golfins® Travel Case is also available as a separate purchase.
With the ability to load your golf bags and clubs in an upright position,
no hinges and just one locking point, the Golfins® Travel Case is
a case study in simplicity and and security. Our superior wheel placement
design and high quality urethane wheels and wheel bearings offer unparalleled
stability and maneuverability. The innovative ergonomic design allows
your arm and hand to remain in a natural position, greatly minimizing
the effort required to transport your golf equipment. The design-patented
upper handle and fully exposed wheels, ensure that the Golfins® Travel
Case rides with ease over a variety of surfaces including curbs, stairs
and turf. The Golfins® Travel Case is available in a variety of colors
and comes complete with a lock and a luggage tag. And only Golfins®
offers ten second golf bag loading and unloading (it isn't just a myth).
