Holiday season is upon us and some advice is needed please.

[Parmo]

Afternoon Gents and Ladies,
I go away in June for a couple of weeks and a week in September, I intend to take my clubs overseas for the first time to play a few rounds with my dad, right the question is…. Drum roll… Should I spend large on a flight bag or would a half decent one suffice? I shall give you the examples I am thinking of:-

£90

or

for £30?

Which one would suffice? I do need all my golf gear in it inc clothes and shoes to save weight on my case and the Srixon doesnt look like it can hold much else than my clubs, what do you use abroad and what advice can you give me please?

I have the Mizuno tour bag as above, and cant recommend it enough. Very well padded, sturdy with good wheels (my friend bought a cheapy from AG -J.Nicklaus bag, and the wheels came off testing it in his kitchen!) Plenty of Room for clothes, shoes etc. When i take this bag for a trip i put everything in this one bag.

The Srixon does look good tho, good name brand is a must in my opinion.

Wilf.

Depends how much you value your clubs, you get what you pay for in terms of protection.

Direct golf were doing a John Letters travel bag, huge, with wheels.
£25 with free shoe bag.

I bought one for going to Spain last month, it's excellent.

Thank you guys for the help, I am just justifying the Mizuno one.

Now discontinued TTBOMK but if you're looking for a reason to justify the cost of the Mizuno - check this out:

NB's used to sell 'em but I guess there isn't a big enough market for them now the cost of petrol has gone up

Just a tip I may have read on teh Forum. Pack shoes separately. If (hopefully not!) your bag goes astray, you could hire clubs in an emergency. Shoes are harder to get hold of unhless you fork out for new ones.
