Padraig Harrington re-signs with Wilson Golf
P
adraig Harrington has re-signed with Wilson Golf in a deal that will see him play Wilson Staff clubs for an 18th consecutive year.
Harrington first teamed up with Wilson Golf back in
1998 and, playing with Wilson Staff clubs, he went on to win three Majors in the space of 13 months, including back-to-back Open Championships in 2007 and 2008. His recent victory at the BANK BRI Indonesia Open in Jakarta took his prize money earnings to more than €24m since first signing with the brand. "It's not a surprise that I have chosen to stay with
the brand with whom I have won three Majors," commented Harrington. "The equipment is pivotal to my success on Tour, and I have been with Wilson almost from the start of my professional career. They provide the tools I need to continue striving for perfection." Whilst featuring the brand’s logo on his headwear
next season, the Wilson Staff Advisory Member will continue to play the highly-rated FG Tour line of clubs – notably the brand new V4 utility iron, V2 irons (5-PW) and FG Tour TC wedge (52°). The new Infinite South Side mallet putter – which he used to seal victory in Jakarta – will also remain in Padraig’s Wilson Staff Tour bag for 2015. “We’re delighted that Padraig has chosen to re-sign with us and continue the excellent working
relationship that has helped bring so much success over the last 17 years,” said Doug Wright, commercial director of Wilson Golf in Europe. “He’s the perfect ambassador for a brand that has won more Major championships with its irons (61) and wedges (82) than any other, and we look forward to more success next year.”

Sun Mountain launches three in one trolley
S
un Mountain has launched their first ever model to combine a trolley, bag and seat in one compact unit.
The three-wheeled Sun Mountain Combo Cart is
designed for golfers who would prefer the convenience of keeping their clubs with the trolley and storing at the clubhouse or together in the car boot. Made from lightweight aluminium, the Combo Cart boasts an extremely strong frame that supports the bag and seat with body weight, whilst maintaining a streamlined trolley that takes up no more space than a regular Tour bag when folded. “When folded, the Combo Cart stands up like a normal golf bag and takes up less than half the room normally required to store the trolley and bag separately,” said Seth Enes, Sun Mountain chief designer. “It’s very easy to put into action too – golfers just have to pull the bottom wheel out, release the rear wheels and set the handle at a comfortable height. “Our R&D team has worked hard to come up with a design that allows for the unit to fold up
neatly, but also be strong enough to hold the weight of a person when they want to sit down during their round,” he added. The built-in padded seat has been designed to accommodate a range of body sizes and comes
complete with back pad to offer maximum comfort. It folds up flat to the side of the bag to keep the overall unit streamlined on the course and in storage. A 14-way top with full-length club dividers is also on offer, as are eight pockets, including a large
compartment for clothing, a velour-lined pocket for valuables and a beverage pouch. The two rear wheels and the smaller front wheel of the Combo Cart are made from a synthetic
compound that promotes a smoother roll, while a foot-operated brake enables the golfer to park the trolley on the most uneven of terrains.
