Three Simple Packing Tips
1. Use a Bagbone
- Place the Bagbone in your golf bag and adjust it so it's slightly higher than your longest clubs. If the bag is dropped or takes a hit, the Bagbone absorbs the impact instead of the clubheads. It also prevents the shafts from breaking. This is particularly important if you have a thinner travel cover.
2. Make Use of Your Towel
- If you have a travel cover that doesn't have strong padding, wrap the clubheads in a towel or piece of clothing. This protects both the clubs from external impacts and from hitting each other during travel.
3. Pack Clothes in the Travel Cover
- The softer the padding around the bag, the better for the clubs during travel. Utilise the space in the travel cover to pack your clothes. You get plenty of extra space for packing clothes and your golf clubs get additional protection. Win-win!
