How to Buy a Golf Travel Bag as a Gift

admin — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 03:40:23 +0000

A Golf travel bag is the perfect gift for any golf enthusiast. It helps protect the equipment (an investment) and makes it easier for safe transport and with the functionality also come the various types, sizes, colours, preferences to match ones style.

Golf travel bags can be taken to the course as well as convenient to travel with. So the question is how do you determine what they will like – it all depends on who the bag is for!

A few things to consider that may assist in the end selection:

Clubs that they own

this can help in determining how big the travel bag needs to be to accommodate all the clubs and protect them for being damaged. There needs to be enough room to protect the clubs as well as be able to be secure enough so that they don’t shuffle around.

Consider how frequently they travel

Do they travel frequently where you may consider purchasing a full hard travel case or a partial soft case for easier storage.

Accessories –what do they normally take with them

Everyone has their preference as to what they carry with them on to the course and having them accessible plays into their comfort and enjoyment as well. Example – gloves, shoes, attire, cell phone, water bottle, etc.

Size

determine this factor for the equipment that they own as well as for the transport to and from the place of residence to the car (how well will it fit in the car or trunk of the car), and also to and from the golf course as well as the airport. The convenience also plays into the enjoyment of this whole process.

Weight

If the bag is too heavy then the purpose of the bag is not as functional. Will the person be able to comfortably lift it out of the car and move it around – example – if they have a medium body build then they will be able to handle more weight that a person with a slight body build.

Sturdiness of bag

Every bag is different in their strength depending on their make and quality. Every year the make and model change as there are new innovations and this enables manufacturers to use newer materials that can potentially be stronger and more lightweight than their previous models.

Style

Manufacturers are on top of their game and are always working on coming up with different designs, better quality, enhanced features and styles will vary from year to year.

Cost of the golf travel bag

That all depends on you! What is your comfort price, what are you are willing to spend. The cost of the golf travel bag is a reflection of the differences in name brand, quality and features. Hard cases are usually more expensive than soft cases.

Hardshell or Softside Travel Bag, Which is Best?

admin — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 03:38:49 +0000

Golf travel bags are manufactured in 2 ways. They come either in a hard casing or a soft casing and it just depends on your needs to determine which one will work best for you. They come in all different makes, colours and sizes which will also give you a large variety to choose from.

Making a list of your wants, needs, and must haves with the following questions and this will also help narrow down your search.

Do you need extra protection for your clubs? Is storage a consideration? Do you have a certain price range? How many compartments do you want to have included? Do you have a preference to a certain manufacturer? Do you travel a lot and is it by car, bus, train, airplane or a combination? All these questions will actually make it easier to determine which golf travel bag will be the perfect one for you.

Hard Golf Travel bags

Hard golf travel cases are made from a substance such as molded polyethylene. This makes the case impact resistant and can handle a lot rougher handling because of the hard exterior than the soft case. They come with wheels and a sturdy handle that can be used just like on a normal suitcase making it easier to transport. The hard case travel bag also needs storage space as it doesn’t fold up like the soft travel bags. Price range is higher as that comes with the added protection tag on them.

Soft Golf Travel Bags

Soft golf travel bags are made from a softer yet still strong material and it is also lighter in weight than a hard casing and are not resistant to puncture. Keep in mind that they are made from a strong and durable material and are easier to store (usually more compact) but do offer less in the way of protection that the hard cases. They can come with shoulder straps as well and have wheels for easy transport.

Considerations

The cost is dependant on the manufacturer, design, style and construction. Soft travel cases are a bit cheaper than a hard case. If your main concern is the protection of your investment then the extra cost will pay of in the end as there will be less of a reason to replace any of your existing equipment.

If you travel a lot and take your clubs with you instead of renting them at the Golf Course then the way you travel is an important consideration and will help you determine the level of protection that you require. If you are traveling by car then you will be handling your own luggage and can take the necessary precautions in storing them. In this scenario the soft travel case may be the best choice for you. They offer the protection you require, easier to manage and more compact for storage whether in the house or in the trunk of a car. Also keep in mind that you will need to manage them in lifting them and placing them in the trunk as well as lifting them back out so the manageability is key as well the weight of the soft travel bags is lighter than the hard cases. In this case you may need to take extra care in ensuring that your clubs are secure and don’t rattle around during transport.

If on the other hand you travel by train or airplane then at some point that precaution is taken out of your hands and is dependent on the handlers that place them on the baggage lines that may encounter sharp edges at the airport that transport them from the building to the airplane and vice-versa and so extra protective gear would be a consideration in this case in helping them withstand any impact and keeping your investment intact. Also keep in mind that other passengers pack their own bags and if they have not secured their baggage and have sharp objects that may hinder other bags in the vicinity.

Ogio Straight Jacket Golf Travel Bag Review

admin — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 19:03:07 +0000

This relatively lightweight yet sturdy travel bag is a good buy, weighing in at 7.25 pounds, the bag is made to fit over your standard tour, cart or stand golf bag. It provides two extra pockets for your golf shoes or other items you may wish to carry with you. The top third of the bag is padded so your clubheads are somewhat protected. An internal strap securely locks down your main bag, while two straps on the outside of the bag provide even more protection.

Thanks to two sturdy skate wheels the bag can be wheeled along, or it can be swung over your shoulder or even carried duffle bag style. This choice of three different alternative ways to carry your bag make it an extremely easy and convenient bag to travel with. The shoulder straps are well padded for when you want to carry it over your shoulder, and the handles snap together with a velcro snap.

Another plus, in my opinion, with this Ogio Straight Jacket Golf travel bag is the wheels. The two urethane inline skate wheels perform very well, much better than the hard or plastic wheels you find on some bags. Additionally, as the wheels are softer, they give more which provides additional shock absorption and thus lessens the chance of damage to golfclubs.

While not as heavy duty as some of the other travel bags offered by Ogio, the light weight and sturdy style make it perfect for the budget golfer to travel with.
