Has anybody ever travelled Europe and stayed at hostels with sticks.  

Thinking of an itinerary like this.  Arrive in the morning get checked in.  One day doing touristy stuff and hitting at least one course.

I'm not opposed to shared dorms at hostels but may just hold on to my sticks like a lover or find storage otherwise will find a private room at the hostels where affordable.

I've not been to Europe.   I've stayed at a hostel in Chicago and if the ones in Europe are like Chicago, find storage for your clubs.   You'll have peace of mind that they will be there when you are ready to play.

I’ve never stayed at a hostel in Europe but I know there are lockers. The kicker is they’re not big enough for clubs. 
 

That’s a lot of stops to be dragging clubs around. I have a car when I’m in Europe and even with a car clubs were a pain. 

Maybe limit where you play? Like play in mostly Western Europe. Use Stasher when you go to Eastern Europe. Bounce is another service similar to Stasher.

Way back during the early to middle 90's I was living over in Europe. I had only been playing golf only a short time at this point, but the golf bug bit me hard, so I played a lot. I tried to play in a number of different countries. What I often did was to let the course know that I needed to drop my clubs off at their course early. I'd make a tee-time on the phone, tell them I'd like to drop my clubs off at their course in the morning, or sometimes even a day or two early. 

Every course except one let me do it. So, I'd swing by the course. Introduce myself. Remind them of my conversation with them and drop my clubs off. Then I'd head off and do what ever I had to do. I'd come back later that day or sometimes a day or two later and play. 

 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus. 
    • I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
