It’s that time of year when golf is wrapping up and Canadians are starting to plan their golf getaways down south. Now, you just need to figure out how to safely get your golf clubs there in one piece. Travel with confidence and start your trip off on the right foot with our top must-have travel accessories to buy before you fly.
Travel Bags & Club Protectors
Hate dragging your clubs through the airport, while battling other passengers on your way to the baggage drop-off? This group of travel bags are designed to help you get to the check-in counter without pulling a hamstring.
Consider Ping’s Rolling Travel Cover, which features wheels that keep the bag upright, allowing you to easily push it to oversize. Best of all, it fits stand or cart bags, and offers you enough space to bring extra clothes (which is great in case your luggage doesn’t arrive).
If a hardcase is what you fancy, then consider the Tour Trek GTS Hardcase Travel Cover. It also stands on its base and is made of a lightweight plastic that also offers a touch of flexibility.
Billed by the manufacturer as the “ultimate travel bag,” the Last Bag Collegiate from Club Glove weighs in at a slight eight pounds, and offers shoe pockets on the exterior. A lot of PGA Tour pros trust Club Glove—and for a good reason.
If you’re looking for something a little less expensive, but that still provides storage for stand and cart bags, consider the Tour Trek TC 4.0 Travel Cover, featuring two lockable zippers, and five pockets—two on the interior and three on the exterior—allowing you to tuck away some clothes, and any significant accessories (rangefinder anyone?).
For any travel bag you choose, we recommend giving your clubs some added protection with the ZTech Shock Shield Club Protector. Insert this protective cap into your golf travel cover to help absorb impact and avoid club damage in case travel covers are dropped or bumped in transit.
Luggage & Totes
When traveling for golf, there are considerations beyond just your clubs. Perhaps you’re like many Canadians, and don’t want to pay to check that second bag. Consider one of the snazzy and smart carry-on bags that are available at Golf Town, like Club Glove’s Carry On Bag 3, which fits in most overhead storage bins and features an interior clothing divider. If you’re traveling with more luggage, it is worth checking out the Rolling Duffle 3, which is big enough to fit clothing for a week-long trip, all the while gliding effortlessly through the airport. On a shorter trip? Pack the Under Armour Undeniable Small Duffle II Bag for your weekend getaway.
Look Cool, Stay Cool
Reduce the amount of clothes you pack by choosing outfits that work on and off the course. Take Nine & Nine’s Women’s Contrast Trim Dress or Under Armour’s Men’s Playoff Blocked Short Sleeve Polo with UPF 30+ to protect your skin from the sun. Both could work well at a casual dinner, or for an early-morning round. Fellas, pair your polo with UA’s Match Play Shorts for those hot days. Comfortable, lightweight and breathable, they offer everything you’ll need to beat the heat.
Sun Protection
Complete your look with a pair of shades. Oakley Fuel Cell Sunglasses are perfect for both active and daily wear during your vacation while protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays.
Finally, it’s easy to forget to bring sunblock, so here’s our official reminder for you. Sun Bum offers everything from sunscreen to cool down lotion, as well as shampoo and conditioner.
It’s great post. With all the aspects clearly mentioned, this is going to help me pick up the all materials. Your
TOUR TREK bag is lovely! I liked it. Thanks
