Burton Golf has been around since 1907, turning out superior golf bags that are both fashionable and functional. The Club-Lok system is something new not only for Burton, but for the golf bag industry.
The Club-Lok golf bag from Burton, incorporating the Club-Lok Golf Club Theft Prevention System, is a brainy and highly functional approach to securing your golf clubs in the bag, and securing your bag on the bag rack, on the cart, in your trunk, or in your garage.
The Club-Lok is a built-in anti-theft system. That system is called the Club-Lok Golf Club Theft Prevention System, and it protects the individual clubs contained by the bag, plus the entire bag itself.
The system is ingeniously designed and easy to use, and it does not in any way interfere with the functions of a normal golf bag, even with the Club-Lok system built-in, the bag is nice-looking and sensible.
The only drawback to the system (for some) will be that it requires the use of an organizer bag top. Lots of golfers prefer open tops, but even if you prefer the open top, if you are worried about the security of your clubs it's a very small compromise to make.
The system has two parts to it, both of which are secured by the use of a combination lock on the front of the bag.
First there is a series of hidden clamps under the organizer top. When two levers on the sides of the bag top are snapped into place, these shaft-friendly clamps lock into place, preventing the removal of clubs from the bag.
The Second part is a retractable steel cable on the top of the bag that extends out, to be wrapped around something secure and locked onto the front of the bag (the bag stand outside the pro-shop, for example).
It is a regular golf bag in all respects other than the theft-prevention measures. The organizer bag top includes slots for 14 clubs. It features 9 pockets, a soft single strap and handles for easy lifting.
If you have concerns about the safekeeping of your golf bag, or the clubs within your bag, you're probably among those who have been victimized by theft. Or you know someone who has been.
The Insurance Institute of America estimates that more than $120 million in claims are made for stolen golf equipment yearly. Some recent surveys show that seven of 10 golfers either have had their clubs stolen or know of someone who has experienced club theft.
Items in a golf bag, including high-priced drivers, favourite putters, jackets, custom head covers and collectible divot tools, are all prized. There is a monetary attachment to these goods, but there is also a strong emotional connection.
Unfortunately, lots of golfers have an “it won’t happen to me” attitude when it comes to theft. However if you're one of those people who does worry that it can happen, then worry no more: Burton Golf has addressed your concerns. It’s a first-rate bag and a well thought out design.
