I travel to the Philippines, Mexico, Hawaii with our clubs (wife and I) and use a hard case. Wouldn’t leave my range finder because things disappear. TSA always tears this apart. Make sure your lock is TSA rated so they can get in. I tie my irons, fairways putters in three groups so they don’t rattle and move a few clubs to even out the bag weights (graphite vs steel shafts). Tie my shoes around the heads of the clubs to protect the heads more.
You got it good my friend
Pro tip. Remove your heads and pack them separately.
Good point, I always put my range finder in my carry on luggage.
@@rejnormandin4658 thanks. Better in 270 days and a wake up.
@@larryps mine fits in nicely with the camera equipment and computer. Wrapped in spare clothes in case our flight gets delayed, miss our connection and need spend a night in a hotel or worse an airport.
I have traveled a lot with golf clubs. Few things I’ve learned
I remove driver and fairway heads and put them in my carry on. Too tempting for thieves. Just be sure to bring your tool and make note of your settings
I never leave my rangefinder in the bag. I’ve had 3 stolen by tsa or airline peeps
I wear FJ icon blacks which are pretty pricey and just too tempting for others to steal so I also take them on carry on
I always take extra pair of shoes, socks, extra gloves, gear for weather, and more balls than what I need
I don’t lock bag. They’ll just cut it
I use same travel bag you have, it’s awesome. I also use club glove club protector
This is how I do it:
1) Take heads off the woods and stick the head in their headcovers and put em in your travel bag along with range finder.
2) Rubber band wood shafts together so they're extra strong.
3) Put irons head first into the bag...rubber band together first if you're concerned about any chatter.
4) Use a stiff arm so if it drops top first the stiff arm absorbs most of the impact.
Good tips.
I would also add iron covers. Just for the trip
Pro tip: put your travel case inside of a zip lock bag
Check with your airline for their coverages. Many offer NO coverage if your clubs are not in a HARD case. I had a hard case broken in transit - 3 & Driver shafts broken. It took a year but the repairs and replacement case was covered. Luckily it was on the return leg of the trip. I highly recommend removing wood heads and don’t forget to pack your wrench. Pack soft items around your iron heads.
Traveling to play Shadow Creek in 5 days, this video could not come at a better time
I tried to play shadow creek last week and it was closed b/c liberal politicians won’t let it open
Getting Mrs Short Game a nice gift upon your boys golf trip return for being your shuttle driver was an overlooked travel tip. 😉
Definitely have do a lil sumn for Mrs. Short game, a spa day, gift card, ya know what I mean...
Holy shit! That was an EPIC cameo intro of Mike. That’s ma boy! Been following him and big cat since their inception. This channel just got a whole lot cooler! Instant LIKE crew, here to stay!
I did Whistling Straits and Erin Hills earlier this year. The Straits course has to be my favorite course anywhere.
I have a driver and 3 wd heads that I remove from shaft and place the heads into their headcover and store in the bag. I then insert inside the driver storage space, a shaft protector or if you don’t have one, a broom handle that extends past the the top of the clubs + I bring a replacement shaft in case I damage my normal shaft. Now I’m good to go.
‚Eight hours cool‘ is my new catch phrase 😂
I saved the foam club head separators from my new Mizuno iron set and insert them in between the iron heads. It is a block of high density foam with four slots cut in to receive the iron heads. Have two of them total. Works great at separating the iron heads and avoiding them clanking into each other.
I was given a great tip years ago. Buy a last bag in the UGLIEST color you can find. Mine is pink and brown. If I see someone in the airport with that bag, they're stealing my stuff haha. I used to collect Cameron Tour putters so you have to think about stuff like that when transporting 2k-12k valued putters.
Thanks Matt for making videos of every aspect of Golfing life. The comments are also always fun and interesting. Peter Finch and Rick Shiels are the British giants but you and Mike are the American Champions! Thanks for representing! I'm in OC and moving to Texas so I'm paying close attention to your adjustment to Georgia!
Nice Video..
When I travel I always screw off the head on my driver and put it in my carry on bag..And Load it in my travel handbag.. so this way I can bring a extra driver shaft...👍⛳
Remember that's the tallest Club in the GOLF bag and take the most beating getting loaded on the aircraft....
I cant believe I've never thought of that . Its never happened to mine but a few buddies had their drivers snapped by over zealous baggage handlers
We flew out of Atlanta to Scotland and the airlines tore the bottom out of both are travel bags. I packed
towels around the top of the FW clubs and nothing was damaged. I don't blame Hrs. Short Game for not
wanting to go to Hartfield AP because of the traffic.
Get a solid stick I like the shaft of a hockey stick. Make it longer than your driver and put it in your bag. When your bag slides up and down. There will be no pressure on your driver shaft and only on the stick(tallest thing in the bag). Preventing your shaft breaking
Heck yeah!!! Mr. Short Game and The Coach are back at it! Really looking forward to see what y’all have store for all of us! Be safe y’all....hit them good!!!
I put Driver head and range finder in carry on.. people like to steal what they can sell! Great video!
I'm excited to pack up and get everything ready. I don't even have a golf trip 😢
I have that exact Sun Mountain travel bag but, in red, to more easily pick mine out of a crowd of golf bags at an airport. That kickstand is awesome. I have had it for 10 years and have traveled with it a lot and yet you are the only other person I have actually seen with that bag. Good choice.
i always place my golf shoes at the top of the bag with towels to protect the longer clubs a little more. i also use a "Stiff Arm" in center of bag.
Corrie Woodland stiff arm is a must! I wrap sweatshirts around the shafts and heads for more protection
Also no stiff arm is a mistake. Airline baggage handlers aren't called throwers for nothing.
Thank you for these travel tips because I was stressing on the golf travel bag. So this has cleared my mind and just looking forward to the journey
Turn your Scotty upside down in the bag... Outta Sight.. Outta Mind
I'm headed to Vegas with the guys come May, it will be my first time traveling in a plane to golf.
If you are worried that your graphite shafts are at risk for damage by irons, you can put long irons head down or put socks over them. Rubber bands are handy.
Good tips! I like when you guys do collaborations. Keep them coming!
The M & M boys back together again finally. Can't wait for the for the next few videos. Oh yeah while you are there you may as well get a little match with Paris & Claire or any of those beautiful California women. See you in the next vide-O
Used my spare clean socks as travel head covers for my irons....double duty 🙂
Mr SG, nice vid and some valuable tips there. Also if possible i found that if you have a 6 way divider bag, i place my irons head side in, so that way only thing sticking up is the irons shafts, not the heads. Give that a try. Keep up the great work. Maybe we see ya north cali way soon. Fairways and greens.
Get a Stiff Arm or other rod that is slightly longer than your clubs to take the brunt of any jarring impact if your clubs are dropped or handled roughly.
For any clubs with removable heads (Driver, 3-wood, etc), remove the heads to further reduce the risk of snapping a shaft during transit, then simply re-install at your destination
Very cool, can't wait to see videos from this golf trip!
8 hours cool... best tip 👌
Great video... 8 hours cool 😎 hell yeah...
I removed all wood heads from the shafts and bubble wrap them before putting them into the side pouches of my golf bag when I travel.
This reminds me of The Office episode when Michael goes to Canada.
Meanwhile Andy: “HARRIET AND THE HENDERSON!”
Always enjoy your videos. What a personality. Mrs Short Game must be a saint. Didn’t realize you are in Atlanta. Obviously not a native.
Best thing you can do is to put on iron head covers when travelling. Only time you should use them!
driving from ATL to north myrtle beach trip this weekend. Great video!
Traveling to Bandon in March this video will definitely help.
Be sure to clean the clubs as fertilizer remnants show up as bomb material during inspection
I bought iron covers for traveling purposes. I had a terrible experience when I flew once where I opened my travel case at the hotel and my irons were all sorts of banged up.
Like others wrote - remove heads and put mine in suitcase. Being Canadian also have broken graphite hockey shafts-cut to 42" and tape this to my driver/wood shafts. Makes very stable. Also tape 3-4 irons together and put head down into bottom of bag, makes the bag bottom heavy but way easier to drag around.
WOW! His hair does grow under that hat! Never seen it that long though! Lots of good tips MSG. Have fun and shoot a lot of footage!
You’re in my neck of the woods, enjoy! Make sure you get the cheese curds, a spotted Cow and an old fashioned
I use airport approved locks. Bag can be locked but security can check in bag if they feel they must with a special key . No other lock can be installed .
Great surprise at the end! Great golf partner to choose!
I have the same travel bag. I also use a backbone that helps protect the clubs. Great video
Good Morning
2 dozen balls should cover me for one round of golf 😂🤣😂
Thanks Matt, we're doing a little trip to Queenstown in November which is considered the holy grail of New Zealand golf trips.... 10 guys on the trip and I know atleast 5 of them are 8 hour mates so fingers crossed for the other 5! Good tips for packing, thanks
Surprised you aren't taking any golf shoes and storing them in your golf travel bag.
When you use locks on luggage you are often targeted for more focused screening. Airlines now charge for the oversized golf bag as a normal piece of luggage unless you put non-related golf items in there. Also you can only put one golf bag in the travel bag per the airlines.
These are rules that I have observed & followed and never had any delays/problems in screening so just take them with a grain of salt.
I'm really looking forward to see you & coach/Golfholics play these awesome courses in the coming days.
Hopefully you didn’t forget your shoes, mine normally ride with my clubs.
Stiff arm, Stiff arm, Stiff arm. I have seen woods become headless in soft top bags.
Awesome video, it helps a lot
35 years of golf trips to Myrtle Beach...Put some socks in a zip-lock in your golf bag... If it's a wet day, dry socks after 9 feel pretty good!
I use a StiffArm in my bag to protect my longer clubs if baggage lands on its head. Takes the blow, saving driver and fairway woods. Don’t pack expensive stuff (other than clubs), i.e. range finders in golf bag.
love the video well done
Great content yet again tommy here from dublin my clubs and cart were stolen from my car and I can't play my favourite game golf till I can afford new clubs but I always have your videos to watch mr short game
Should also check if your clubs requires re gripping
If you fly SW Airlines you need a hard case as the airline will not cover your clubs in a soft case travel bag. I learned this the hard way.
Easiest way to ship clubs is use a hard shell case and the ANOA Shipping Tag
Ahhhhhhhhhh, you guys in Wisconsin!!!!!! Wish I could hang out with you guys, I'm 8hrs cool. Really, I am.
Just was told by American airlines that only fully hard case type of golf case would have a claim against damage to contents.
What are your thoughts on iron head covers for travel?
Tip your shuttle driver big time Matt!
Wow! That looks like a lot work MSG 😂 but i guess you have to protect your valuables the best you can. I have heard some pros had their clubs stolen or got lost and a few of my friends who went to compete in another state got their stuffs taken too. My stuff is not very expensive but i love the fittings i have right now and i cannot afford to replace or loose them😂. By the way, your MrsSG is very nice driving you cos if i ask my MrsAG to do for me, we would end up going to courthouse 😂😃😂. Have a safe travel and enjoy your trip! Thanks for great travel tips👌👍👍👍
That’s a new drivercover I haven’t Seven before 🤔😋
To protect my clubs I put the heads at the bottom of the bag so grips stick out and remove my driver head wrap it in a towel and shove it in the middle of the bag.
Matt looks like you got the TSi driver already? Can you do a review on that and how do you like it? I get fit in Denver on 10/26, can't wait. Thanks for the travel tips. Be safe.
You're in Georgia now. You need sweat gloves more often than you need rain gloves.
I make weight room in my travel bag for souvenirs by proportionally losing golf balls at the courses I play.
Do you recommend a golf glove stiff arm to put in your bag?
What a great surprise ending with Golfholics dude, love their channel too, you 8 hr guys have a great time!
I'm not sure 2 dozen balls gets me through six rounds....
We need an updated travel tip video
I want that shirt!!!
I like the golf bags that have zipper access to the bottom of your clubs. It's a good place to stash your weed.
Since u have lots of spare clubs and balls would u able to send me out something. I have been using my dads old top flute clubs for a while now. Big fan.keep up the good work.
Take the heads off your woods, if you can. Then put the shafts with an alignment stick and in an alignment stick headcover.
Oh and enjoy whistling it is a special place for me, it is where I got married.
Put an Air Tag in your bag so if it gets lost you can track it
Poor Mrsshortgame...😂😂😂 But I probably get my wife to do the same.
It’s more of losing items to worry about. Clubs are durable enough to be thrown inside the cargo.
Don't forget your shoes!!! 😀
Nice TSi hidden in plain sight. How do you like it so far?
Instead of using towels u can take a pic of ur settings and take the heads off
Please review your voicecaddie rangefinder GL1 or at least give me some feedback here!
Why haul your clubs when you can easily ship roundtrip with UPS/FedEx/DHL with the ANOA Shipping Tag?
Are you playing golf at a homemade course in Siberia? Hopefully where you're playing will have tees, balls and electricity. I hope your trip isn't too dangerous. Good luck.
Where is good place to start booking a golf vacation?
You should make a video on golf insurance
When will you have more hats available for purchase?
Surprised you didn't pack a couple pair of golf shoes in your bag. Good company means we're going to get some good video real soon.
I usually don’t lock 🔐 the bag hopefully someone steals that SOB putter!
What happened to your Nikon rangefinder?
Are you going to Alaska? 🤣🤣🤣
I love your vids. You milk the industry for the dollars you deserve
Wasn't your bag opened by TSA? My golf bag is always searched by TSA. The lock you used would be cut by TSA.
did you pack some golf shoes for the games?
