Travel Bag

Posted by: user266147 | Mon 10th May 2010 09:23 | Last Reply

Can anyone recommend a decent travel bag. I'm going to be transporting my clubs for the first time (subject to volcanic ash) so need to invest.

I'm probably going to use it at least a couple of times a year so don't mind paying a bit extra for a quality one.

Thanks in advance...

I would recommend getting a hard plastic case, especially if you plan to use it often and will be flying.  The baggage handlers see the word "Fragile" as a challenge and golf clubs tend to fall into that category.  Gone are the days where you could just put your rain cover over the top to stop the clubs falling out and expect your clubs to be treated with some respect. 

When you are picking one out, make sure that your bag will fit into it before you buy!  This may seem like a weird thing to say, but most bags won't take a staff bag and some of the slimmer ones will take a carry bag but not a cart bag. 

I got mine a few years ago and is a hard plastic one that breaks down into three pieces, with the top two pieces stored in the bottom piece so taking up little room.  Not sure where you would get one of these from now though.
