Seems like I'm going to start traveling for business soon internationally and I would

like to take my clubs with me. I have a Sunmountain Four 5 stand bag.

What's the best carrying bag to protect my clubs so that they won't have the slightest banging or pressure weight on them?

I was told to get the CLub Glove last stand bag + the stiff stick that looks like a mushroom.

But when I checked, it's $300 AND it's a soft bag...

Another retailer told me to get the molded and 50% cheaper samsonite.

Well, Any suggestions would be very nice

I have used my Cargo Golf Pro 700 around 20 times for golf trips.  The Pro 700 is an older model, can find it on ebay used for around $50.  The new 750 model is around $190.  The Pro 700 is a simple, compact design that does a good job protecting clubs (hard construction).  Because the Cargo Golf Pro is all hard construction, the airlines have never had me sign a waiver--which I had to do with a previous soft bag.  The compact, minimalist design meets my needs.   Because I only carry one large headed wood (driver), I have no trouble fitting the rest of my clubs in there (including my belly putter).  No trouble fitting in balls, tees, sunscreen, toothpaste, and other basic golf travel supplies.  Not enough room for golf shoes--usually wear trail running shoes on golf trips.   Can use with golf carts and push carts, but cumbersome to carry on your back.  Very convenient and functional--sometimes when I return from my golf trips, I just use the Cargo Golf Pro as my regular bag for a while. http://www.amazon.com/Cargo-Golf-Pro-Travel-Cover/dp/B000AYL2FS

If you carry a driver and 3 wood or want a travel bag that can hold golf shoes also, take a look at Club Glove's offerings

I wouldn’t carry it.

It comes complete with two roller-blade like wheels… so one is able either to pull it or push it. It really doesn’t take up much more space than the bag and clubs – so no – I don’t think it’s too big.

As the advertisement indicates, it is constructed from molded military grade PE and the locks are TSA approved. It’s essentially like a hard plastic coffin for your golf clubs. I recently returned from a vacation in Aruba and my clubs are in perfect condition – the case itself takes some abuse, but not the clubs.

after searching around and combing past the marketting ploys, I'm thinking of the CLubgliders Meridian from Sun Mountain and perhaps add the stiff shaft from club glove into it.

Anyone know about how good this travel bag is? Looks sturdier than club glove last bag and has 4 wheels.

A friend at work has one we call R2-D2.  It is a hard case on the top and around the bottom, but soft in the middle.  It works out well because when clubs are not in it, it can collapse on itself to save room.  The problem with some of the harder cases especially is that they can too big to get in a car, expecially with other luggage.  I have never used it, but he says it works great and has never had a problem.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

The ClubGlider remains an awesome product. I still love mine.

Thanks for the vouch, Erik.

Now I feel 100% better about getting it.

Tough to do research, since no one has clubglider and no store has it either.

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙

      My Swing (Tomfig)

      By tomfig · Posted

      Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
