Heading to Naples in a few weeks to hit the links. Last year I rented clubs at the course. This year taking my own. Here's my question for the AKB...Need a recommendation of a good golf travel bag to put on the plane...looking for something around $200...

Highly recommend a stiff arm for a soft bag to avoid a broken driver head, or it your metals can be uncoupled do so . Bob's stiff arm would put the bag overweight.



Seems like a good way to protect your clubs.

personally, I think you're crazy to take golf clubs on a plane. Look into ship stix. I've used them frequently, they're reasonably priced and I've never had a problem. All the top golf courses are used to receiving and shipping through shipstix

Reasonably priced? $175 to ship my clubs for 4 rounds of golf. To rent clubs at the course would cost me $200 for the four rounds. Take my clubs on the plane costs $35.

you can be 100% certain that TSA will inspect your bag after you check it with airline. I get their boilerplate note after every flight

Best bet is to fed ex your clubs to the first course you go to and then have them fed ex them back from the last course you play.
Best bet cheaper and no worries on airlines travel with bags
