What GolfWRXers are saying about travel bags

In our forums, our members have been discussing the best travel bags on a budget. WRXer ‘Newbie15’ is on the hunt for a travel bag as he travels 2-3 times a year, and asks:

“What do I need to spend and what features are important for protecting the clubs?”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

chinaski: “I think 2-3x a year would easily justify a quality bag. I got lucky and found a club glove locally for under $100 and only travel 1-2x a year at most. I’d look at eBay or locally through FB or CL ads.”
djcoolaid1914: “I just picked up a club glove on my local OfferUp a few mins ago for a steal ($20). just in time for my trip to Phoenix next week. Check OfferUp, 5Mile FB market and Craigslist. Lot of deals to be had.”
DFW Snowman: “I use a Club Glove with a stiff arm. It’s made it through all my flights so far. I take the heads off the woods and stow them in carry on as others have mentioned. It’s been dropped and dragged by the airlines, but everything inside has stayed safe. A couple of things I like are that 1) the wheels are really good on the bag which makes wheeling it around the airport or to a rental car nice and easy and 2) it’s not as massive as a hard case, so I can fit it into virtually any rental car or friend’s car easily. If it’s too big, then I can take everything out and fold the bag up a bit.”
jvincent: “My two cents, budget and travel bag should not go together. Even if you only use it 2-3x a year a good back will last you at least 10 years or more. I think my current bag, an SKB hard case, is 12 years old as an example. So, if you use it 30x, that’s $10 per trip for peace of mind if you get a good bag for $300.”

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
