VERTUS - the first full integration

of bag and trolley for enhanced

golf experience

Semir Kerla, the founder of VERTUS is a passionate golfer willing to spend every minute of his free time enjoying his beloved game.

The story
behind VERTUS

To Semir, the amount of time needed to take a golf trolley out of a car trunk, assemble it and equip it with a bag before starting to play was too long of a distraction from the game itself. Having to go over this strenuous process before and after every golfing day led Semir to think of how this process could be simplified. To him, the answer to the issue became obvious: a complicated to assemble trolley to which a golf bag gets attached after assembly must be replaced by an integrated easy-to-operate unit.

The name

This mission is also reflected in the product name… The name VERTUS is derived from the Latin word “overt” meaning obvious – characterizing the obviousness of the need to create a golf bag and golf trolley integrated into a single functional solution.

The approach

The task, however simple it seemed was not a simple one at all. To solve it, a taskforce of product designers and innovations experts sought inspiration in nature.

Nature is a true champion in creating highly functional and effective solutions… Evolution in nature often leads to extremely simple yet very ingenuine and highly functional solutions to complex issues. In product design, such nature’s approach inspires us humans, too. The striking ingenuity of nature’s evolution inspired us to create VERTUS – a golf trolley and golf bag integrated into a single, simple-to-operate product.

Game set-up

With VERTUS you are always only couple of clicks away from starting your favorite game.

Storage set-up

A simple lock of the folding handlebar adjusts its position to the height ideal for player.

Disassembly after the game is equally simple. Couple of clicks enable to fold the handlebar and rear wheel arms and transform VERTUS into a compact object that easily fits car trunk. This simplicity not only saves time, but also prevents the player from getting dirty by a complicated disassembly process.

Back at home a third position enables VERTUS to be stored in the corner of a garage or room with a minimized footprint.
