Sun Mountain was founded by CEO Rick Reimers, who recognized there was room for improvement in the industry in golf bag design. Reimers quest to design a superior, lightweight golf bag led him to materials and construction techniques used by backpack manufacturers. Sun Mountain's revolutionary First Carry Bag was made from nylon, resulting in a bag that was durable and less than half the weight of traditional golf bags. In 1990, Sun Mountain introduced Sun Mountain Performance Outerwear with a waterproof/breathable rain suit specific to the needs of golfers. Today, Sun Mountain continues to invent ways to allow golfers to extend their days walking the course. Sun Mountain Performance Outerwear helps the serious golfer comfortably extend the season, while the company's lightweight stand bags, power-assisted Speed E Cart, and Speed Cart® will keep grass under golfers' feet for years to come. "At Sun Mountain, we recognize the importance of the PGA Professional to our business," said Sun Mountain President Ed Kowachek. "And we are happy to continue our support of Golf Retirement Plus." Founded in 1997, Golf Retirement Plus is a supplemental retirement program for PGA Professionals and apprentices, GCSAA Superintendents, and CMAA Club Managers, which allows them to make their own contributions or have their employers contribute to their Golf Retirement Plus account on their behalf. PGA Professionals may also earn personal incentives by participating in 47 Golf Retirement Plus Sponsor Programs. Celebrating its 90th anniversary, The PGA of America was founded in 1916, and is a not-for-profit organization that promotes the game of golf, while continuing to enhance the standards of the profession. The Association is comprised of more than 28,000 men and women PGA Professionals who are dedicated to growing participation in the game of golf.
