Golf Travel Bags - Choose Wisely to Protect Your Investment
Planning a golf vacation? Don't forget to protect your golf clubs by choosing the right golf travel bag. How do you choose the golf travel bag that is right for you? Let's take a quick look at three different styles to help you make the right choice. Remember, choosing the right golf travel bag isn't only about the bag itself. Golfers planning a golf vacation or just looking for protection on short golf trips should ask themselves a few questions before making a purchase. What is your budget for a golf travel bag? Do you travel frequently with your golf clubs? Do your golf trips mostly include air travel or auto travel? With these questions in mind, let's take a quick look at the different styles of golf travel bags and the benefits and negatives each offers. Hybrid Travel Bags These types of golf travel bags are essentially a golf bag with a hard top to protect your clubs. Unlike other styles, hybrids do not protect your day-to-day golf bag. Hybrids will help golf travelers with space restrictions. They require less space than other models and also weigh less. However, hybrid golf travel bags are not your golf bag. Therefore you must unpack and pack all of your golf gear each time you travel. These types of bags are also not the best choice for airline travel. For golfers who travel more often by automobile and have an extra set of golf clubs, hybrid golf travel bags are a good choice. Golfers can pick up a hybrid golf travel bag for as little as $60 with top of the line bags going for around $230. Soft Golf Travel Bags Think of this style of travel bags as a soft, padded, glove that covers your day-to-day golf bag and clubs. Usually, these bags come with a rigid bottom and wheels to help golfers carry them from location to location. If you love to carry a lot of golf gear on your travels, then soft-style cases might be the right choice for you. You can travel with your day-to-day bag and stuff it with your other gear and golf accessories. These travel bags also breaks down easily and take up less storage space than hard case bags. Some of the negatives associated with soft-style golf travel bags are mobility and protection. Soft bags usually do not roll as easily as hard cases. Also, these bags do not offer the same protection as hard cases. Your club heads are especially vulnerable in a soft-style bag. If you choose a soft-style golf travel bag, I highly recommend that you pick up a Stiff Arm accessory. This will protect your club heads in the event of a direct impact to the top of your bag. The best soft-style bags can cost anywhere from $120 - $300. Hard Case Golf Travel Bags This style of travel bag encompasses your bag and club. They provide the highest amount of protection but do not have space for the golf "pack rat". Hard cases are a great choice for the golfer who travels by air to most golf vacation spots. This style provides the most protection and highest security for your golf clubs. Unlike other styles of golf travel bags, airlines will often cover any damage incurred when your clubs are in a hard case travel bag. Hard cases take up more room than other styles when it comes to storage. They also do not hold all of your golf gear. For the golfer who plans more trips by automobile, hard cases might not make as much sense as hybrids or soft-covers. Hard case golf travel bags average $130 with top of the line cases costing around $300. Now that you have a little more insight into golf travel bags, you will be able to choose the right bag for your golf travel and golf vacations. Remember to think about the type and frequency of your golf travel, how much protection you need for your golf clubs, and what type of budget you have for a golf travel bag. Choose wisely.
