Are there tips on how to travel with golf gear?
Traveling with Your Golf Gear
Most golfers prefer to play with their own golf clubs. However, a group traveling to a golf vacation rental with full golf gear may pose problems. Clubs are bulky and heavy and they may exceed airline weight limits and incur over-weight baggage fees. Even on a driving vacation, four golfers traveling by car with four sets of clubs requires a van or large SUV. Use these tips to facilitate traveling with your golf gear:
- Protect clubs with a study golf bag and purchase a shipping box to prevent possible damage to your golf bag through baggage handling.
- Conserve space by storing all your golf accessories in your golf bag.
- Consider shipping your golf gear ahead of time to your destination.
- Don't assume your golf gear is covered by your homeowner's insurance. Check your policy coverage and deductibles. If your clubs are top-of-the-line expensive, you may need to take out an additional policy endorsement (rider) covering loss or damage.
- Keep all sales receipts for your golf bag, clubs and accessories. If gear is lost, the airlines or your insurance company will require proof of value and replacement is subject to limitations.
- At your destination, always store golf gear inside your golf vacation rental rather than leaving gear subject to easy theft in the car overnight.
- Consider bringing limited golf gear, such as your favorite putter, and renting additional gear.
