Hi, I currently have a Titleist stand bag and have been bringing it overseas without any travel cover so I am thinking of getting one.

HI,

Between this two I'd choose option 2 - Titleist Small Wheeled Travel Cover

It's lighter (3 lbs), which could helps a bit to avoid extra charges at airlines and it looks less bulky. Also, it's cheaper (although that's not a main issue when you're looking for good stuff).

I'm choosing a new bag currently and also looking into travel cases as well. Put my eyes onto SKB's travel cases, like this one: http://www.golfsmith.com/product/30033781/skb-deluxe-staff-travel-case

I'm relatively a noob when it comes to golf and golf travel. I've traveled once w my clubs (but have a trip planned next month, and plan on bringing my clubs w me whenever I travel in the future). Before my trip I was debating on what to buy. Hard cover vs soft cover, cheap vs more expensive etc etc. I bit the bullet and went w a club glove. I had a coupon code for a free stiff arm also, which helped a tad w the cost. I think I ordered through them directly. My clubs got to and from my destination without a scratch. As many will tell you, this bag will last ten years and has a warranty (don't know the details off the top of my head). If you by cheaper most likely you'll end up replacing your clubs due to damage or the bag due to wear and tear. I like the club glove since it gives me confidence knowing my clubs will be safe. Just my two cents. Ps since club glove is such a good product, I could probably put this bag on craigslist and make up the difference between it and a cheaper bag. I think spending more is worth it in this case

Oh and one last thing, especially for the poster above me...many complain about the bulk w hard cases. On my one and only trip w my clubs, I'm lucky I didn't have a hard case. Back seats were occupied so couldn't throw my clubs in there. Trunk was so small. Luckily my club glove could fold up, clubs go in the trunk, and I pack the bag when I get to the airport.

I use a Club Glove travel bag and am a huge fan.  Not familiar with the small wheeled travel cover.

My choice would be 100% driven by which one provides the best protection for my clubs.

Hi,

Thanks for consideration about bulkiness of hard cases. Haven't seen many though but that's a good point. My LR have a plenty of room in a trunk but can't say the same about cars I've rented while travelling. I will rethink my travel bags strategy.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
