Looking for a way to keep your golf clubs safe on Holiday?

Golf travel cases are the answer. Cases come hard sided or soft and there’s a design to suit every traveler looking to take his golf clubs on the road. Golf travel cases can be the difference between a great golf vacation…and one lost to damaged clubs. Over the last several years, as golf vacation destinations have grown in popularity, more and more people are traveling with their golf clubs.

There are a number of different types of golf travel cases. Each has their own benefits and draw backs, so shop around – nothing is worse than getting off the plane for a long-awaited golf vacation only to find your new Nike Sumo2 5900 didn’t survive the trip.

Hard Sided Golf Travel Cases: For years these cases were impossibly heavy and offered protection, but almost no convenience. But the latest models use lighter high-impact plastics for the case exterior and newly developed metals for the frame. They also take advantage of smooth rolling dual “roller blade” wheels make it easy to roll through airports. Plus there’s room in the case for the longest drivers.

These hard cases also include plenty of room for shoes, an umbrella extra balls and even a change of clothes if you’re headed straight to the golf course.

Soft Golf Travel Cases – Travel Covers: Cheaper, lighter, more convenient…but more risky, soft sided covers are generally made of nylon or heavy polyester offering waterproof protection. The interiors are padded offering limited protections after you zip your golf clubs for your trip.

For airline travel, soft golf cases subject your clubs to a bit more wear. Especially if you use an ultra light bag without much structure. Soft cases can also leave your extra long driver exposed to more risk from a jealous baggage handler!

The idea is that when you’re traveling, you move your clubs over and use this hard cover as your golf bag for the trip.
