Behind every successful company there are always some key team members. When I started the Steurer & Jacoby brand almost 10 years ago as a continuation of my involvement in the making of golf bags I had no one but myself and an idea. The idea was to craft traditional and quality products and mass produce them, as I had done in the past.

Over the past eight years I have been very blessed with three women in my business life. First is my wife, Rhoda, who has endured almost 41 years of my dreams for making golf bags that have quality and uniqueness. When she and I discussed coming out of retirement to return to making golf bags and accessories, she assured me that I was crazy. 

Once I convinced her, I outlined my goals. Chiefly, I wanted to add an additional “new” twist, which was a traditional design. Thus Traditional & Quality became my statement.

Now I had her “thumbs-up”, a design, and a shop to start on this journey.

Meghan Jacoby Leezer - Master Seamstress 

Nine years ago my daughter Meghan starting hanging out in the shop to see what I was doing. 

When Rhoda and I took our summer vacation to our home in Florida, I received a photo from one of my seamstresses of Meghan using the surging machine (we surge every piece of fabric to eliminate it from unravelling). Needless to say, I was surprised. 

When I returned, Meghan had started learning the steps to make a bag along with other products. Within two years she had not only learned every product but she had also come up with some great ideas for improving them. 

She has such a great understanding of the product, the way we craft the product, and finally how to ensure every product is made with quality. Her leadership of her team of seamstresses makes her our focal point.  

Meghan is a great talent as a master seamstress, and this is not just a father bragging about a daughter and the leader of our seamstresses: Meghan has been recognized twice by neutral judges. She won the Blue Ribbon at this year’s Kentucky State Fair and, two years earlier, the White Ribbon for her leather work.

Bailey Wiegandt - Golfer, Marketer, Designer

As we're growing we needed additional help, especially with our digital marketing. 

A friend of mine who is the women’s golf coach at Bellarmine University mentioned to me that he had a player who was a graphic arts major. I said please introduce me to her as I would love to offer her a part-time job that could accommodate her school schedule. He brought Bailey to the shop one day and the rest is history.

Bailey immediately worked on our websites, helped with graphic designs for our branding stamps, and developed our laser engraving business. I knew that she was a perfect match for us, and I am grateful that she joined our team after graduation. 

With her love of golf Bailey has been very instrumental in helping develop our marketing plan, growing our internet presence/business, and serving as our customer service coordinator. Nothing happens with our marketing, planning, and growth without her expertise. The only job Bailey hasn’t done is making a golf bag. However, there was one time I did see her at the surging machine…

Bailey is a very successful golfer as well. She is the both the Inaugural winner and the second winner of the Florida Women’s Hickory Golf Open. Bailey has also won the Winter Park 9 Women’s Open. 

She is not only a player but a leader in the game of golf, as this year she became the coach for the Mercy High School (her alma mater) golf team. She has a winning record and has also made a “hole in one”!  

Talented Team Leaders

During the past five years our growth has been because of both of these talented ladies. Needless to say, every successful company is due to talented team leaders. 

For Firebird Group, the crafters of the Steurer & Jacoby Brand, it is because of these two women, Meghan and Bailey, who together understand the business, the products, and the customers. 

I truly am the luckiest, most blessed person on earth to have these women ensuring our success!

We've Moved Into a New Space

For the past ten years, we have been making our highly-sought-after leather goods in a space that, as we continued to grow in popularity, became just too small for us to meet the demands of our growing business. 

Those of you who are familiar with the Steurer and Jacoby story know that we have been in business for much more than ten years, having served everyone from U.S. presidents to British royalty to high-profile CEOs with our iconic golf bags. 

Though we are still best-known for our golf bags, our business has significantly expanded its offerings since our early days to include everything from luxury travel bags to leather-wrapped bourbon glasses, among other accessories and gifts. 

We are so grateful for all of the business we are getting, and we are happy to announce that your support has made it necessary for us to move into a larger space to accommodate our growth, and allow us to be as efficient as possible in meeting customer demand. 

Our grand opening was early in August, and we hope to spread the word of this exciting new development in the Steurer & Jacoby, and Firebird, Inc., story. 

As a result of our expansion, we have pretty much doubled in size. We enjoy a spacious production floor with a designated area for each step in the crafting process of our golf bags and other luxury leather items. 

We have always hand-cut all of our fabric and store fabric rolls, and so it was a must to get an upgraded cutting station where we could get that work done with greater efficiency. 

Our seamstresses now enjoy a larger sewing space to do their careful and expert work in crafting our products. 

One of the features that our customers love is our ability to customize, which has taken the form of embossing presidential seals for U.S. Presidents, family coat of arms, and many custom logos. Our customization process has now gotten even more sophisticated, with much more space for our laser engraver, which personalizes our products.  

Along with that, we also have a warehouse behind our large production floor. Our warehouse is where we store our leather to make all of the vintage golf bags.

We still maintain our usual process for cutting and personalizing our leather, with our state-of-the-art die cutter and hot stamp machine. Our vintage leather bags are also strengthened and secured with our rivet machine. 

There is something for our customers, too, with a showroom where you can come and see the great products that we make with expertise and care. Customers can also come and create their own custom golf bags and accessories. 

New Shop, Same High Standards 

Now that we have a larger, more comfortable workshop to handcraft and deliver our top-of-the-line leather golf bags, we are more excited than ever to get to work and make the products that you love! 

Be sure to swing by and take a look at all the great vintage bags we have available in our showroom. Our new address is 10494-96 Bluegrass Pkwy, Louisville, KY 40299. 

You can still order from us without leaving the home. You can call us at (502) 267-6878 or email us at info@firebirdgroupinc.com. You can also contact us on our website’s Contact Page  here.

Everything a golfer and non-golfer needs to know about how to choose the right custom golf bag. This is a guide for people looking to buy a personalized golf bag for themselves or as a gift. Below are some things to consider before purchasing a Steurer & Jacoby® custom golf bag:

Walk or Ride a Cart?

Those that carry their clubs need a lightweight bag with enough storage space for the essentials. 

The Mackenzie OC Tartan Golf Bag is the perfect walking model because of the specially designed frame that does not rub on your side. Also features an easy access pocket without a flap.

Those who are looking for a more traditional style walking bag will like the Sunday Style Golf Bag. It is lightweight and features a single ball pocket with a flap. 

We have collapsible golf bags without a frame:

Caddy Golf Bag features a 2-Way Club Divider at the top. There is no frame, just an oak stick support spine, so it is very lightweight. You have the choice of carrying a full set of clubs or less. 

Our lightest bag is the Pencil Style and is for those who carry a “short” set of clubs. It features a 6” top and can hold up to 9 clubs. It is for the minimalist golfer.

Those that ride a golf cart when they play can allow for more storage. Do you like to carry a lot of gear with you? If so, you will need a bag with more storage. 

The Classic Staff Bag features a 4-way divider and a front ball pocket with a large sweater pocket in the back. It is reminiscent of golf bags from the 50s & 60s.

The Gran Tour Golf Bag has the most storage with 3 pockets. It is perfect for those who travel and golf. 

The Airliner also makes for a great cart bag. It is a step above the Sunday Style with an added sweater pocket on the back side. 

Are you a Traditional Style Golfer?

Those that use Hickory Golf Clubs may appreciate the vintage style of the Pencil Style & Sunday Style Golf Bags. They are modeled after the early days of golf.

Those that use Persimmon type clubs will appreciate the old school style of the Staff Bag. It is styled after the bags that Hogan, Palmer, Nicklaus and other iconic golfers used.
