Rapid Travel Chai

Golf clubs are no treat to travel with, and a hard case is not much different from wheeling a coffin around. Soft covers are more convenient to manage and store when not in use, but leave clubs vulnerable (see Golfsmith for samples of both). Many serious golfers have a separate ‘travel set’ that they use so their main set is not at risk.

But here’s a simple method to protect clubs from the most damaging, “I am a bag handler and I hate lifting these rich peoples’ golf clubs so will accidentally drop them on their head” situation. Put a broom handle or stick in the bag that is a couple inches longer than the longest club. When the bag is dropped, the stick takes the blow. Here, The Rapid Traveler demonstrates with a sturdy walking stick that does double duty chasing off hounds on the moors.
