We all have our favorite golf clubs and want to bring them with us when we travel rather than rent. However, the fear of damage to or loss of our clubs is worrisome when planning a travel vacation. You want to enjoy every moment of your trip, not sweat it out in the airplane waiting to see what shape your clubs are in or whether they’re all accounted for when they come out of the belly of the plane!
Here’s an example of a golf travel bag cover with a hard case top. It’s considered heavy duty, has large pockets, and has wheels for easy mobility.
Below are some suggestions to help relieve your anxiety and keep your clubs as safe as possible during transit.
- Use a golf club travel bag: Look for a padded, durable travel bag specifically designed for golf clubs.
- Pack carefully: Wrap each club in a towel or cloth to protect it from damage and arrange them carefully in the bag.
- Check with the airline: Most airlines allow golf clubs as checked luggage, but it’s best to check with your carrier for their specific guidelines and fees.
- Consider shipping: If you’re traveling by car, you may choose to ship your clubs ahead of time to your destination.
- Label your bag: Place identification tags on the outside and inside of your golf club bag.
- Protect the head covers: Take extra care to protect the head covers of your clubs as they are most susceptible to damage during transit.
- Consider travel insurance: Consider purchasing travel insurance that covers your golf clubs in case they are lost or damaged during transit.
With these suggestions implemented you should be able to relax on your trip and have your best game ever!
Safe travels!
