Orca Golf Bags Shines at The Masters Custom Golf Bag for Former Masters Champion Gains Clear Golf High Visibility

Every new company in the golf industry hopes for the players at the highest levels to take notice – and maybe even uses – its product in competition. For ORCA Golf Bags, this dream came true on the biggest of stage. When former Masters Champion Charl Schwartzel put his new Clear Golf bag into play last week at The Masters, ORCA co-owner and lead designer, Erica Bennett, saw the bag during the television coverage, it was a that dream come true. ORCA

was commissioned by Clear Golf to create the Masters-themed bag. Schwartzel plays Clear Golf’s Tour Green golf ball. ORCA Golf Bags is owned and operated by Erica and Deborah Bennett of Fort Lauderdale. Their story is not unique among the ranks of golf industry upstarts: two smart, successful business people with a passion for the game find their calling within the industry and set out to change at least one corner of the golf world. Like most, they personally identified within a niche, in this case the golf bag, and set out to create the proverbial “better mousetrap.” Four years ago they set out on their journey as the only women-owned golf bag design/build company in the United State, and now they are about to have their work carried across the Augusta National landscape. “When I saw the Clear Golf bag we designed on television, I became quite emotional. It took me back to the little

girl growing up in Jamaica with a dream to be successful in the sports world. I didn’t have a lot of opportunities,” said Bennett, an accomplished athlete and author who fell in love with golf later in life and launched Orca Golf Bags just four years ago. She added, “When I saw the bag it thought, ‘if another little girl with the audacity to dream saw this story and thought, I can do this, it would be worth the uphill battle to get there.’ There are a lot of ways to be involved in the golf theater, and this is my path.” Women-owned by Erica and Deborah Bennett, ORCA Golf Bags is one of the few US golf bag companies focusing solely on making golf bags, allowing for craftsmanship and attention to detail that help it stand out from the herd of mass-produced bags on the market today. ORCA also makes beautiful and functional tote bags, athletic bags, and shoe bags and recently launched its newest game-changing product, the Pod. The Pod is the ideal case to

safely hold a cell phone and sunglasses, providing an accessible “home” for golf gloves, scorecards and other necessities while the golf bag is stowed away or not in use.

ORCA Golf Bags are available online and soon to be in green grass locations. Custom bags for events, corporate outings, clubs and individual personalization can be crafted by visiting www.orca-golf.com.
