Golf holidays have become a growing trend amongst many golfers; professionals and amateurs. They are even popular with people who arent going on holiday specifically to play golf but just enjoy a game anyway. Golf holidays tend to be taken by groups of friends or golf societies. However these days entire families will go away on holiday together and whilst the golfers in the family go out on the course the rest of the family will be able to go to the beach, lounge by the pool or any other activity.
But with baggage allowance being a big issue for travellers in general, not just golfers, it is important to know what to take and what to leave at home. First of all your golf bag is heavy, in some cases this will be your entire baggage allowance used up. Fortunately youll be able to pack clothing and toiletries in hand luggage but even then youll need to travel light.
Some golf bags are made specifically for air travel and so can store other items such as clothing in them, but again these are pretty heavy and you could end up being charged for excess baggage regardless. At some point you are going to have to make compromises, which could mean leaving some clubs or equipment at home.
They may seem small and insignificant but items like golf balls and umbrellas can add unnecessary weight to your luggage. Considering what clubs you typically use and shedding any that you dont need is a tricky subject. If youre visiting a new golf course you may not know what clubs you will require. Some competitions have a limit to how many clubs you can carry but there is no minimum limit. All it would mean is that you would limit your shot selection by removing a club from your bag.
A lot of new golf bags market themselves as having low weight and plenty of pockets for storing other objects in. It may be worth looking to getting a lightweight golf bag for travelling although be careful to always get a bag with adequate cushioning and protection for your clubs as baggage handlers are well known for not being the most delicate of handlers of your property when loading a plane.
