So you are making preparations to holiday and spend a while with your in-laws and you know what a massive golfer your father-in-law is and need to be sure you bring your best game to the course when he casually decides you must go golf.

This means you wish to have your own clubs with you when you take him on. In order to do that though , you have got to pack your clubs and apparatus into the load hold and hope everything comes out the same as it went in. Well, with the new developments in clubs also come new developments in the golfing travel case.

The Options

A golfing travel case will help you to make sure your investment in top of the line kit stays as spotless as the day on which you acquired it. Before you go dashing out to the store to buy one though , you need to ensure you have all of the facts about them.

There are 3 categories golfing travel cases can be separated into, the hard, soft and half-breed designs. Before you are saying to oneself, I need the one that will give the best protection so I could just get the hard case, you may want to compare the differences first. All 3 types of bags have advantages and drawbacks to them, but they’re all designed expressly to be travel cases.

Hard Case

The most common material the hard golf travel case is made of is high density polyethylene. These bags are rigid and usually close with locking clasps over a rubber seal to prevent dirt and moisture form getting to the clubs. The hard golf travel case can be built in different shapes and sizes, to fit your specific length of club and type of bag.

The features to look for in the hard case are through-and-through color (so scratches do not show), maneuverability (such as wheels and handles), and even collapsibility. That’s right collapsibility; “Golf Telebag” has come out with a telescoping rigid case that will collapse to 24″ for storage.

So if space is a massive concern for you, but you need the stiff design, this could be a choice worth checking out. This bag will run you about $120, and the standard hard cases will run anywhere from $50 -$500. One major failing to the hard golfing travel case though is the unavailability of exterior storage compartments as you may find on soft cases.

Soft Case

Soft golfing travel cases on the other hand are often supplied with not only exterior pockets, but additional handles and padding. The common design of soft cases is composed of a nylon design with support straps and padding to go with the benefit of additional space they supply when empty. Club Glove boasts the employment of its Last Bag by more touring execs than any other product in golfing.

If you’re looking to be on par with the champs, this $250-$300 bag might be the one you have been searching for. Still undecided which sort of bag is correct for you, or perhaps both are, if that is the case, the half-breed golfing travel case could be what you’re looking for.

Hybrid Case

The design behind the cross-breed is a straightforward idea, make a tough golfing travel case with soft case features. The idea has taken some different forms, firstly being to have a tough case built into a soft case. Second , to have a tough case with attachable soft accessory bags for the outside. The disadvantage of these designs are that while traveling, the bag takes quite a thrashing and become quickly worn out, and there are a limited number of attachment pouches you are able to add to a tough case.

The solution to these issues has shown up in Load Golfing’s ProSeries nine hundred. Load Golfing has taken the concept of the half-breed golfing travel bag to a higher level with the soft case skin which is removable from the hard case travel section of the bag. This design allows for the damage of travel to be handled by the hard case within, keeping the outer bag with all of the accessories bags clean and working so long as possible and is fairly priced at about $189.

So there you have it, a quick review of your options for your new golf travel case, now you can stop worrying about your clubs and start trying to figure out how to beat your father-in-law and earn the respect you deserve.
