Golf Travel Cases: Are You An Air Or Car Traveler?

By John DiMillio

If you're a golfer who travels with their clubs then a golf travel case is a must for you. Protecting your clubs with the right golf travel case is important.

Golf travel bags last a long time. So if you make the wrong choice you'll probably be carrying it around for many years. Too big a case means extra weight. Too small means no space for shoes, hat or an extra set of clothes. Golf travel bags come in a variety of colors, sizes and styles to suit every personality. Whether you're a basic black person or want more color in your life there's a color and style for you.

The type of travel you take will determine the type of golf travel case you need. Most airline travelers are best served by a hard sided golf case.

Between shuttles and baggage handling your clubs are going to be tossed and jostled. Baggage handles are struggling with planes at full capacity to unload and reload planes quickly. As a result your clubs are thrown and jostled more than ever.

Hard Golf Case Or Soft Sided Golf Bag?

The exterior of the hard case puts a layer of protection between your clubs and the world of baggage handlers. Inside the hard golf case your clubs are as secure as a baby in a car seat.

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.

So choose your golf travel case based on the travel you do. A golf travel case is important to protect your clubs. And depending on the model you choose you can have additional pockets to store shoes, hat, and an extra set of clothes-everything you need to quickly get out on 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.

Enjoy your travel as you try out new courses. But when you travel protect your investment in your clubs with a golf travel case. - 15995
