2016/7/19 16:28:11

So you are making preparations to holiday and spend a while with your in-laws and you know what a massive golfer your father-in-law is and need to be sure you bring your best game to the course when he casually decides you must go golf.

This means you wish to have your own clubs with you when you take him on. In order to do that though , you have got to pack your clubs and apparatus into the load hold and hope everything comes out the same as it went in. Well, with the new developments in clubs also come new developments in the golfing travel case.

The Options

A golfing travel case will help you to make sure your investment in top of the line equipment stays as spotless as the day you purchased it. Before you go dashing out to the store to buy one though , you would like to ensure you have all the facts about them.

There are three categories golf travel cases can be separated into, the hard, soft and hybrid designs. Before you say to yourself, "I want the one that will provide the best protection so I'll just get the hard case," you might want to compare the differences first. All three types of bags have advantages and disadvantages to them, but they are all specifically designed to be travel cases.

Hard Case

The commonest material the hard golfing travel case is made from is high density polyethylene. These bags are stiff and often close with locking clasps over a rubber seal to stop dust and moisture form getting to the clubs. The hard golfing travel case can be built in different sizes and shapes, to fit your particular length of club and sort of bag.

The features to search for in the hard case are through-and-through color ( so scratches don't show ), maneuverability ( like wheels and handles ), and even collapsibility. That is right collapsibility ; Golfing Telebag has come out with a telescoping stiff case which will collapse to 24" for storage.

So if space is a big concern for you, but you want the rigid design, this might be an option worth checking out. This particular bag will run you about $120, and the standard hard cases will run anywhere from $50 -$500. One major drawback to the hard golf travel case though is the unavailability of exterior storage compartments as you will find on soft cases.

Soft Case

Soft golf travel cases on the other hand are usually equipped with not only exterior pockets, but extra handles and padding. The common design of soft cases consists of a nylon design with support straps and padding to go along with the convenience of extra space they provide when empty. Club Glove boasts the use of its "Last Bag" by more touring professionals than any other product in golf.

If you're looking to be on par with the champs, this $250-$300 bag might be the one you have been searching for. Still undecided which sort of bag is correct for you, or perhaps both are, if that is the case, the half-breed golfing travel case could be what you're looking for.

Hybrid Case

The design behind the cross-breed is a straightforward idea, make a tough golfing travel case with soft case features. The concept has taken one or two different forms, firstly being to have a tough case built into a soft case. Second , to have a tough case with attachable soft accessory bags for the outside. The downside of these designs are that while traveling, the bag takes quite a thrashing and become quickly worn out, and there are a limited number of attachment pouches you are able to add to a tough case.

The solution to these issues has shown up in Load Golfing's ProSeries nine hundred. Load Golfing has taken the concept of the half-breed golfing travel bag to a higher level with the soft case skin which is removable from the hard case travel section of the bag. This design allows for the damage of travel to be handled by the hard case within, keeping the outer bag with all of the accessories bags clean and working so long as possible and is fairly priced at about $189.

So there you have it, a fast review of your options for your new golfing travel case, now you can stop sweating about your clubs and start trying to work out the best way to beat your father-in-law and earn the status you merit.
