FAQs About Golf Travel Bags

If you have ever taken your golf clubs with you on a long trip, you know how heavy they can become. It is nice to be able to stash them in the checked luggage compartment of an airplane, but are they really safe there? A better bet is likely to purchase a travel golf bag for those times when you hit the road with your clubs. Use these FAQs about golf travel bags to guide you.

Q: Do all golf bags fit into travel cases?

A: Most golf travel bags state the dimensions of the bag they can accommodate. Simply compare this information to the data on the size of your bag. If your bag does not state its size, you can always measure it with any flexible tape measure.

Q: What are the different styles of travel bags?

A: Hard travel bags are the sturdiest and protect your clubs from almost any situation. Some golfers report having thrown these cases off an airplane and the clubs still suffered no damage. Soft cases are much less durable, but they are more affordable and easier to transport. They are adequate for almost all situations.

Q: How are clubs stored in the travel case?

A: There is only one wrong way to store your clubs - without any padding or protection. It does not matter precisely how you pad your clubs, just that you do. For example, you can wrap your rain gear around them inside the pack or cover them with special protective sleeves; you can even stash your ordinary clothing in the golf travel bag for extra padding.
