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

By John DiMillio

If you like to travel with your golf clubs, it's important to have a golf travel case. But protecting your clubs means choosing the right golf travel case.

If you choose the wrong golf travel case you will probably regret your decision for some time. With too small a case you won't have the space to pack your shoes, hat or an extra set of clothes. Too big and you'll be carrying around excess weight. Golf travel cases like other luggage comes in different sizes, colors and styles. Depending on your taste you can choose a basic black or show off your loyalty to your college team.

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.

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 rigid exterior puts a layer of protection between your clubs and the outside world of baggage handlers. With your clubs securely strapped inside the hard golf travel case and the protective padding, your clubs are as safe as a baby in a car seat.

Travel mostly by car? Then the soft golf travel case will be tops on your list. Your clubs are protected with a waterproof covering and interior padding whether they are in the trunk of your car or on the hotel's luggage cart.

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.

Your travel style will determine the best golf travel case for you. The cases protect your clubs and you may have room to pack your shoes, clothes and hat. Then you're ready to quickly get your clubs out and play a round.

Online shopping is an easy way to find a variety of golf travel bags. No matter your choice, hard golf travel case or soft golf travel bag you'll find one to match your needs and protect your clubs.

Golf while you travel and find new courses to play. But before you travel protect your clubs with a golf travel case. - 15438
