Golf Travel Bags Make Lovely Gifts

Golf travel bags make excellent gifts for anyone who enjoys golfing. They allow you to transport your golf clubs safely and without you having to worry about damaging them. They also come in a variety of styles, shapes and colors. So how do you know which one you need? It really depends on who the golf travel bag is for.

Like I said before, golf travel bags come in a variety of styles, shapes and colors. However, the look of the bag is not the only thing you should consider when buying one – especially for a gift. Perhaps one of the most important things to consider is what kind of distances will the person travel that you are purchasing the gift for. It could be to the neighborhood golf course, or to golf courses across continents.

If they travel fairly substantial distances with their golf clubs, then you will definitely want to get something sturdy and strong. In this case, I would suggest buying a hard sided golf travel bag which is also known as a golf travel case. This is particularly true if the person travels on airplanes on a regular basis. An advantage of using golf travel cases while flying is airlines will often pickup the cost of replacing any damaged golf clubs if your golf clubs were in one of these protective cases during the flight.

Another advantage is of course the peace-of-mind knowing that your golf clubs should be well protected from any damage during the trip. If you are confident that the person you are buying this gift for does not frequently travel long distances with their golf clubs, then you should be able to get by with purchasing a soft sided golf travel bag. In fact, I would strongly suggest going this route in this case.

An advantage of using a soft sided golf travel bag is that the bags themselves typically include several pockets for you to put gloves, shoes, etc. into. They are also less bulky and can fit easier into the trunk of a car. Soft sided golf travel bags also typically come with wheels that make it easier to transport the clubs from place to place.

Again, knowing what features the golf travel bag would need would depend on who the bag is for. If they use golfing shoes, then they would probably appreciate the fact there is a place to put them in the bag.

In addition to the sturdiness of the golf travel bag, cost is obviously going to be a factor that you will want to consider. Not surprisingly, golf travel cases are typically more expensive than soft sided golf travel bags. However, the difference in cost is not massive and there are some golf travel bags that are more expensive than the cases.

Most golf travel cases will cost you around $150 while the average golf travel bag will cost around $75. However, some golf travel bags can cost you well over $200. Of course the differences in prices are often a reflection of the differences in name brand, quality and features.

Golf Bags

From Callaway to Ogio,

Travel Golf Bags to Discount Bags

Men’s Bags, Ladies Bags, Junior Bags.

There must be thousands of types, styles, colors, makes and models of the simple golf bag. They are made by the well known giants like Nike, Callaway, Ping, Titleist, Wilson, Cleveland, Taylor Made and the specialty golf bag companies like Ogio, Sixron, Mizuno, Sun Mountain, Benetti, Datrek and more. And all you wanted to do was find someplace to put your clubs.

But, before looking at the many golf bag manufacturers, take a moment to decide what golf bag best fits the way you play golf.

If you are a walker and enjoy strolling your favorite golf course, consider a Carry Bag. They are lightweight and most often made of plastic, nylon or even canvas. They can handle your basic golf clubs and your balls, tees and a towel. They often come with a stand that keeps your clubs upright when you are making a shot. Golf Carry bags were introduced in the early 1980s when Sun Mountain introduced the first bag with legs that automatically extended when it was set down on the ground.

These days, the cart bag is probably the most popular golf bag. A bit too bulky to carry, it fits nicely on a hand pushed cart frame or the back of a golf cart. The cart golf bag is large enough to hold all your clubs, shoes, towels and all the other accessories that are so helpful out on the golf course. They can be carried in a pinch, but a strong back is a definite requisite.

The third option is called a staff bag. These are carried by the professionals and people who want to have every imaginable club (up to the allowable 14 club limit) and anything else the golfer might want to carry on his or her round. We are usually in caddy territory here.

These days many golfers take their clubs on golf vacations and sometimes even on business trips. The golf travel bag has fast become another popular golf bag option. The soft bag is good when traveling by car. It is usually lighter and more compact. The carry bag is a good option here.

However when an airplane is part of the itinerary, a hard golf travel bag is a must. The hard shell case bag protects your clubs from being damaged. But they fit nicely on your golf cart when you arrive. These golf bags are considered luggage and not recommended when walking the golf course. However, they are an absolute must when packing your clubs for the airport. Nothing can ruin a golfing vacation more than a broken or bent set of golf clubs.

Golf bags also come in different shapes and sizes with these categories. Ladies and junior golfers certainty have different weight and size requirements than the men.

One can also easily find discount and used golf bags online or at your local pro shop.

The absolute best place to shop for golf bags is online. With a few mouse strokes you can visit many different Internet stores, do your research and find the bag that absolutely meets your unique golf bag criteria and even color. You can also find used golf bags on sites like E-bay and there are always special sales and ever present discount offers. In some cases, they can be downright cheap. The avid golfer can even find individual customized golf bags. It’s all online.

For many golfers, one bag isn’t enough. Many enthusiastic golfers own two or three so they will have the perfect bag for the perfect round.
