Does anyone have a copy of the Golf Telebag Travel Case instructions?? I cannot find the instructions anywhere and am trying to figure out if the built in combo locks are already set to a code!!!
Thanks to anyone that may be of assistance.

I made a "stiff arm" for $4. Before going to Home Depot, I measured my driver and added 1 inch. Next, I had the guy at Home Depot cut down a broom handle to length.

I hope this tip helps others.

I shipped my bag to Scotland (St. Andrews) and back to Iowa for half the cost of $552, using a CA firm, Golf Bag Shipping. Clubs arrived within 5 days, both directions, unharmed. Try golfbagshipping.com.

Interesting addendum to the story: GolfWeek had a short piece on how PGA Tour pro Frank Lickliter had his bag stolen right off the carousel while flying Delta, the "official" airline of the PGA Tour. He was not too happy, as you can imagine.

Also, with the new security measures driving more people to check their bags, lost luggage is up 10 percent over last year. The numbers translate into one of every 154 passengers losing their luggage, or about one lost piece of luggage for every medium size jet. Nice.

I've had luck with a soft case with a 48" dowel (purchased at Home Depot for $1.50) doing the job of the Stiff Arm. That telescoping hard case looks mighty slick though!

I travel often with my clubs and I opted for the Club Glove Last Bag because I wanted a high quality soft bag. So far I'm extremly impressed. When my bag is loaded with a staff bag, 14-20 clubs, 2 pairs of shoes, rangfinder, dozen balls, gloves, etc my bag still comes in under 50 lbs which is the limit for most airlines. I am also very good about wrapping my clubs with a couple towels to help prevent clubs from chatting and to add a little extra padding.
