When it comes to innovations in golf, there are few things that stray far from the status quo. Most recent innovations involve small improvements to an already established product. Today, I am looking at a product that changes everything that we know about one of the most fundamental pieces of equipment. the golf bag. Vence Golf provides a revolutionary new way to store your clubs and stroll the fairways. The design is polarizing. Just one look at Vence and you are likely to run for the hills or fall madly in love.
Only the truly bold can hope to change the game and that is exactly what Vence Golf is looking to do. Vence is the world's first modular golf system – redefining how golf clubs are carried, used, and showcased.
The first thing that you will notice when showing up to the golf course with Vence is that everyone is going to notice you. With a design that strays dramatically from every other golf bag and push cart on the market, you are guaranteed to turn heads. Before any golf shot has been struck you have already made a bold impression.
With a completely different design ethos, there are a lot of product details to cover. Here are the big takeaways.

The reactions that I received on the golf course varied greatly. Most of the comments were in good fun and started up an interesting conversation. My response to the haters: “Perhaps you just don’t understand fine Scandinavian design.” This is guaranteed to get a chuckle. If you have a strong desire to garner copious amounts of attention, Vence is the golf cart for you.
“That is the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen.”
“My eyes are burning”
The man behind the design, Vertti Kivi, sees things a little differently. Vertti has spent decades crafting interiors for clients like Hilton Hotels, Royal Caribbean Cruises, and Michelin-star restaurants. This design emerges from Vertti’s belief that golf gear deserves better – both for function and form.
“Vence is the vanguard of golf’s silent rebellion. Born in the Nordics, we merge rebellious design with uncompromising performance.”
If I have learned one thing from my golf travels its that the journey is always better with amazing friends and there is no rule in golf that says your best friends can’t be electronic ones.
