Sentinel Golf
Dyneema golf bags, hand-sewn in Chicago, limited series
Sentinel is not a manufacturer. It's a design lab orchestrating collaborations: Dyneema bags sewn by 1733 in Chicago, leather accessories by MacKenzie in Beaverton (OR), titanium divot tool made in Guangdong, China. Anonymous founder. 'Made in USA' doesn't apply to all products.
Philosophy
Minneapolis design lab orchestrating golf collabs. No in-house manufacturing - everything subcontracted to partners (1733, MacKenzie, Jimmytronics). Golf as a design project, not an industry.
History
Minneapolis-based design lab. Unidentified founder. Sentinel manufactures nothing in-house - it orchestrates collaborations:
Golf bags (Walker, $890): MacKenzie Golf Bags, Beaverton, OR. Dyneema bags ($340): 1733, Chicago. Leather: MacKenzie + Sorensen (Denmark). Blankets: American Woolen Company. Wool hoody: woven Italy, cut/sewn NYC. Titanium divot tool ($68): made in Guangdong, China. Official Miura collab.
Goes beyond golf: Basecamp Expedition One mixes golf, camping, fishing, cooking. A full lifestyle project dressed as a golf brand. Good materials, good partners. But anonymous founder and 'made in USA' not applying to everything deserve noting.
Iconic Products

The golf bag. Dyneema or Ultracomp, $890. Sewn by 1733 in Chicago. Minimalist, lightweight, zero logos. The flagship - but 1733 makes it, not Sentinel.
