Travelling with clubs

brady23

Just looking for some advice regarding packing my clubs. I'm moving abroad tonight and I'm bringing them with me. I bought a Wilson travel bag from Mc Guirks yesterday but seems to be a lot of room at the top of the bag and I'm worried how much they may move around in transit.

The golf balls seem to adding a bit of weight so think I'll leave them out and I've taken the heads off the woods.
I'm thinking fill it with bubble wrap, any other ideas?

I have one of this soft padded travel bags and when travelling I usually use my carry bag for that. The travel bag is great but still, I always found the top parts of the clubs, the club heads, are a bit exposed and once my putter came out bent at the top. The putter was replaced by travel insurance, but since then I have 'built' myself some sort of roundy card board box that I can put over the tops of the clubs. It's pretty hardy and roughly the diameter of the golf bag and its closed at the top, it protects the club head ends really well.

No clubs bent since and also I feel if the bag got a hit towards the top its not my driver taking the hit anymore but the box and the bag instead.

Probably too late as you're moving today but the best advice I've received is to take a broom handle just longer that your driver and screw a 6" circle of ply wood to one end.

Even an ordinary broom handle that's a bit longer than your driver should suffice. That'll take the hit when it's thrown up against something solid
