Golf Travel Packing Tips Your airline tickets are purchased, tee times are made, and you are set to embark on your DREAM Golf Trip! Don’t forget to pack your “A” game! Plus, a few other important items that will help prevent annoyances and hassles that will quickly turn your “A” game into a “C” game or worse. Here are ten tips to make sure your trip be full of great memories. Some of these I learned the hard way by forgetting them or foolishly disregarding advice from fellow golf travelers and writers. 1. Invest in a Top-Quality Travel Bag Absolutely, positively don’t try to save money by purchasing a cheap travel cover. You can protect your golf club investment by getting a cover from a respected company like Club Glove, Sun Mountain or Bag Boy. More Tips: • Don’t select an all-black cover so you can avoid looking like everybody else. You’ll save time finding your bag on the carousel if it has a recognizable color treatment. • Use your travel cover as an additional piece of luggage by packing shoes and extra shirts on departure and dirty laundry on your return. • Make sure your nametag or business card is placed on the outside of the bag and the inside as well, just in case the outside card is displaced. 2. A lightweight carry Bag for the British Isles If you’ve ever played golf in this part of the world, you’ll notice that the most experienced caddies gravitate to the lightest bag in the group. Show up with one of those giant staff bags and you’ll be treated like someone with a contagious disease. By Ed Schmidt, The Golf Travel Guru
