Golf Travel Cases: Picking The Right One For You


by John DiMillio

If you're like most golfers, you enjoy traveling with your golf clubs. To protect your clubs while traveling it's important to have the right golf travel case.

Choose the wrong case and you will regret it for some time. Too small and you don't have the space to add your shoes, hat and maybe even a set of clothes. Too big and carrying it around becomes a problem. Golf travel cases like other golf accessories come in many different sizes, styles, designs and colors. You may prefer a simple dark colored basic golf travel case or a case promoting your favorite team may be your choice.

Your travel dictates the type of golf travel case you need. For airline travelers the hard sided golf case is probably the one for you.

Baggage handling, and shuttles all seem to involve tossing and jostling of your clubs. With the full capacity of most planes today the baggage handlers are struggling to get planes loaded and unloaded in a timely manner. This means your clubs get thrown and jostled more than ever.

Soft Sided Golf Bag or Hard Golf Case?

The outside layer of the hard golf travel case with the padding protects your clubs from the world of baggage handlers.

But if you're a golfer who travels mainly by car, then the soft golf travel case will probably be your bag of choice. With its waterproof exterior and interior padding, your clubs are protected as they ride in the trunk of the car or on the luggage cart to your hotel room.

You'll find space to store your soft golf travel bag under the bed or in a closet. The hard golf travel case is a little more of a challenge. The hard cases won't fit under a bed and take up a lot of space in a closet.

When you decide whether you're a car or airline traveler you'll have the information to make the choice for the best golf travel case for your needs. If you plan ahead you can even find a case where you can pack your shoes, hat and clothes. Then it's just a matter of changing your clothes, grabbing those clubs and heading to the course.

There's a wide variety of golf travel bags available online. Whether you choose a hard golf travel case or a soft golf travel bag you're apt to discover one to fit your needs and protect your clubs.

Travel and golf are a fantastic combination. Enjoy your travel as you discover new courses. Don't forget to protect your investment in your clubs with a golf travel case.
