A golf bag is a necessity, not a luxury. But most do the bare minimum—they hold your clubs, your accessories and not much else. A new bag company, MNML, is here to change that.
MNML bags are the brainchild of Sam Goulden, a golf instructor with more than 20 years of teaching experience. The models provide everything any self-respecting golfer could want—and then some. They’re fully technology-integrated, complete with a Bluetooth speaker and phone charger—check this!—powered by a solar panel that sits below the handle.
One of the pockets is thermal-lined (that’s where you keep your beverages cold), and, perhaps best of all, they feature a smartphone filming pocket, so you can easily set up to record your swing from anywhere without a fuss. The bag started as a Kickstarter project, where it quickly raised more than $53,000 and is now available for purchase in white or black.
I can vouch for this one personally: the good people over at MNML sent me a bag earlier this year and I’ve been using it ever since. And I’m not lying when I said that I have had multiple people literally come up to me and ask me about the bag.
In fact, we like the bag so much that we created our own special GOLF-branded version of them. They’re limited edition, but available for purchase now in the GOLF.com Pro Shop. These bags will not be around for long…
