SUN MOUNTAIN
2017 LS stand bag
Sun Mountain’s 2017 LS
lightweight stand bags offer
golfers all of the features they
would typically seek in a larger
model while weighing next to
nothing. The series includes
bags of four weights, between
2.5 and 5.5 pounds. The
lightest of the bunch, the 2Five
($220), is billed as the lightest,
full-featured bag in golf. To
put this lack of weight into
perspective, the bag’s about
as heavy as a pair of golf
shoes or three cans of beer.

GALVIN GREEN
C-KNIT Backer Argon jacket
The best piece of golf outerwear is the one you don’t notice—
either while it’s rolled up inside your golf bag or while you’re
wearing it. That may well be the case with Galvin Green’s C-KNIT
Backer Argon full-zip jacket, but people will definitely notice it
because of its great looks. “C-KNIT Backer represents the next
generation of golf rainwear,” says Christian Nilsson, Galvin Green’s
CEO and managing director. The water-repellent jacket features
spring-loaded zippers, adjustable chest width, and pre-shaped
sleeves to better fit you. ($695, galvingreen.com)
SRIXON Q-Star Tour ball
Many of us want tour-style performance from a premium
ball. That said, most of us also don’t have the game to take
advantage of the characteristics of some of the premium Tour
balls on the market. And that’s where Srixon’s new Q-STAR Tour
ball enters the fray of consideration. It’s a top-notch, three-piece
urethane cover ball with a low compression, which makes it feel
nice and buttery at impact. ($30/dozen, srixon.com)
