Why Lightweight and Durability Matter More Than You Think

When designing Town Caddy, we obsessed over two things: weight and longevity.

For city golfers, a bag isn’t just carried on the course. It’s carried on sidewalks, staircases, trains, parking garages, and apartment hallways.

That changes the design requirements.

The Weight Target

From the start, our goal was simple: keep the bag under 2 pounds without sacrificing structure.

Why?

• Easier daily carry

• Less fatigue during longer walks

• More comfortable commuting

• Better balance with a light club setup

Lightweight doesn’t mean flimsy. It means efficient design.

Choosing Materials That Make Sense

We selected durable PU leather for the prototype phase because it offers:

• Weather resistance

• Easy cleaning

• Structural integrity

• Consistent quality across batches

As production approaches, we’re testing additional material blends to optimize feel, durability, and long-term performance.

Designing for Real Life

Town Caddy isn’t meant to live in a garage.

It’s meant to be:

• Set down on concrete

• Leaned against walls

• Carried through crowds

• Loaded in trunks

• Used multiple times per week

That reality drives every design decision.

What This Means for the Final Product

The production version will reflect months of testing, refinement, and real-world feedback. Our goal is simple: create a bag that feels effortless to carry and reliable enough to become your everyday go-to.
