About Bag Boy
The first Bag Boy cart was designed and made by Bruce Williamson in Portland, Oregon in 1945. The original golf cart was made out of two lawn mower wheels with flat tires mounted on an up-and-down folding, spring-suspension chassis, which could be attached to a standard golf bag. Following this original concept, Bruce Williamson and his partner, E. Roy Jarman formed the Jarman-Williamson Company in 1946 and manufactured these basic carts from sand castings and aluminum tubing. To make the cart last longer and keep it free from expensive repairs, all the parts were designed to be bolted together making it possible to easily replace damaged parts. Die-castings were introduced into the manufacturing process in 1947 and round-shaped zero pressure tires on dish wheels were added to the up-and-down folding chassis mechanism.

In 1957, Bruce Williamson sold his interest to Roy Jarman, but the company name was retained until 1967 when it was changed to The Jarman Company. By then, the company was marketing its own golf bag, the Cart-Mate, which was designed to attach to the Bag Boy cart by means of a few part changes. With continuous improvement in both design and methods in all products and procedures, the Bag Boy Company had grown to be international in scope. In 1993, AMF Industries bought The Bag Boy Company and relocated it to Richmond, Virginia making it a division of The Ben Hogan Company. When the Hogan Company was sold to Spalding in 1997, a small group of managers and employees, along with the current owner, held The Bag Boy Company out of the sale to run as a stand alone company.

Customer Reviews

Not a great product
I had great difficulty moving around, if you have lite-weight bag, you can buy otherwise not a worth product from bagboy. After using 20 - 30 times, the connecting wire broke. Personally i like pull carts, but there are very good products half the price of this in K-mart or walmart. Hands get very tired because of tough handle, bottle provided is really a worst design, still it is stinking.. washed 100 times, cheap plastic. Dropped my many times while getting into cart path from fairway.. Please do not buy this worst product

Good Product
I've used it for about 15 rounds now, and have not had any problems with this item. The only minor annoyance is that my bag shifts to its side (as opposed to staying straight up) during the round requiring periodic adjustments. Otherwise, easy to navigate, and folds in seconds to put in the trunk.

Solid performer
My husband got this cart for his birthday a couple of years ago and he is happy with it. I get to use it when I go golfing without him. I have no problems with this cart - it works well on the steepest of hills or bumpy (roots, rocks, etc.) terrain. I am not the strongest person in the world so I like that it's light weight and easy to manuver. I rated it a 4 because, like another reviewer said, your golf bag tends to rotate toward one side during use. Also, the flimsy plastic clasp on the bottom strap that secures your bag to the cart broke very early on, so we have to tie the strap around the golf bag. I'm looking to buy a push cart (vs. a pull cart) and will likely also get a Bag Boy.
