Taking Your Golf Clubs On The Road
from: James BeckettOne of the fun things about golfing is enjoying the many scenic golf courses around the country or around the world. Golf is about more than just hitting a ball with a stick. You get to be out in nature and see some of the best maintained resort areas there are. While you no doubt thoroughly enjoy golfing at home on that tried and true golf course that you know like your own living room, the adventure of golf is to get out of town and to golf in another town, another state, another country.
Golf is not as much a competition with other golfers as it is you conquering a course. So when you take on the challenge of a new course on a golf trip, you want to play with your best skills working for you. And to be at the top of your game, you have to have the clubs you had made for you in your hands. So naturally when you travel to play golf, your golf clubs have to travel too. So it's a good idea to think ahead how to get your golf clubs to your destination undamaged so your that investment in good golf clubs is ready for battle when you take on that new course.
The last thing you would even dream of doing is checking your golf clubs unprotected and seeing a check in clerk put those clubs in their bag loose on the belt to go to baggage claim. Securing those delicate golf clubs in a top notch travel bag has to become part of your travel ritual. There are two kinds of golf travel cases so whether you go with a hard shell case or a soft sided one will make the difference in how well your golf clubs will survive the trip. But in general the hard shell case is able to protect your clubs against much more abuse.
If expense is a factor in what kind of golf case to buy, the soft case is usually least expensive. But remember that this case is going to be protecting a set of golf clubs that may have been especially customized to you and represent hundreds of dollars of investment. You may want to think twice before pinching pennies on protecting that investment. If money is the only thing driving your choice, go for the hard shell case but look in the used marketplace or pawn shops for something to fit your needs.
There is no question that you cannot expect a soft golf case to cut it when your expensive golf clubs must go through baggage claim. Sometimes airlines place such an emphasis that you do not put your golf clubs at risk in baggage claim that they will offer insurance for your clubs if you use quality protection like a good hard shell golf case. Think of buying a quality golf travel case as an investment because it will serve you well for the upcoming trip and for many trips in the future or in any other harsh environment that your clubs may need to be in.
This is not to say that soft golf cases are not very good choices for certain kinds of travel situations. A soft case is excellent for a car excursion because it is lighter and can be packed into the truck of a car and not take up as much space as a hard case. Another plus is that you can wrap your clubs in a soft casing and they can still fit down into the golf bag for transportation so you can keep the entire unit together for the entire trip.
Along with a quality golf case, it's important you pack your golf clubs for travel so they do not have any opportunity to move around and they are surrounded by soft cloth for the entire trip. For the heads, cover heads are available that can secure to the head and keep that metal well protected so you don't see any dings or find the heads out of balance when they arrive at the destination. In addition pack towels or even clothing around each club so they are insulated from each other and from the casing and they ride completely secure for the trip.
Taking care of your golf clubs is a priority for you every time you take them out to use them. You do regular cleaning and repair to them all the time to make sure they are in top shape to give you the best game possible every game they play in. So it makes sense you would use that same level of care and precaution for this important part of your game when you take them on the road to conquer foreign ground and add another course to your list of places you enjoyed the fun of playing golf.
