Under Par Earns SMA Endorsement

Issued: January 01 2012

Shelston IP has announced that Australian-owned golf company Under Par has gained a Sports Medicine Australia (SMA) recommendation for its Smoothy Suspension Golf Buggy. The firm assisted the company in obtaining patent protection for the suspension of the Smoothy Suspension Buggy as well as trademark protection for the Smoothy brand.


The buggy is the first SMA-endorsed product in the golf marketplace. SMA is Australia’s top national advisory body for sports medicine and sports science; it awards recommendations to products on the basis that they are among the highest quality in their field and that they promote safe and healthy physical activity. The Smoothy Suspension Buggy’s design features strive to minimize strain and injury, and help improve golf performance.

Brett Clarebrough, managing director of Under Par, says the Smoothy Suspension Buggy was specifically
designed and engineered to be the ergonomic solution in golf buggies for both amateur and professionals alike. “With the biomechanics of golf at the forefront of mind, we designed the Smoothy Suspension Buggy with an independent suspension system on all three wheels; and a push-not-pull mechanism,” said Clarebrough.

The independent suspension system on all three wheels acts to protect the golfer from bumps and irregularities of typical golf course terrain by absorbing shock and jarring effects. The threeway suspension also lightens the golfer’s load because the weight of the clubs is evenly dispersed across the widest possible area. Furthermore, the buggy is easier to handle and maneuver because each wheel has self-governing activity, the firm said.
