Best travel cover for the price

[exgolfpro]

He guys. I'm flying to Denver (from St. Louis) at the end of September to play in a buddy's Member/Guest tournament. Gonna have to purchase a new golf travel cover. This is likely a one time use thing seeing as I haven't flown in almost 20 years. Provided I don't want to spend $200, what is the best travel case for flying?

No need to buy new. Look on your local craigslist.

Here's about 15 or so near St. Louis.

Can't see the pics on my work computer but if that Deluxe SKB is in good shape $60 is a steal.

If you want a long lasting bag that will stand the test of time, Club Glove is the way to go. It will be expensive though. I believe Bag Boy has some in the 5075 range that seem to have good padding and are of decent quality.

I have a decent and pretty heavy duty budget bag made by "GTB" (Golf Travel Bags LLC) for ~$100. Use of a stiff arm is recommended with a soft bag.

PGA Tour Superstore carries them or you can find them online

Finally found their website. The Chauffeur looks like the one I have. There is a link to dealers here as well.

Seller has outside and inside photos of the case. It looks good to me.

I have an SKB that is about 20 years old. Built like a tank. Recently I had to pick up something else because my wife travels and plays with me some now and I needed a 2nd case. I did not go with SKB because the best thing about it (it's a beast built like a tank) is also the worst thing. It's one of the harder cases to travel with/pull through an airport and since it won't collapse in any way, anything less than a full size rental car can be problematic. After quite a bit of research I narrowed my choices down to the Sun Mountain or Club Glove cases. Both are very good and the Club Glove tends to be the most popular but I went Sun Mountain due to the pop out legs......super easy to pull through an airport. Time will tell how well those legs hold up. The Club Glove, Sun Mountain and SKB's aren't terribly inexpensive though, but all will last and sometimes you get what you pay for.

To the OP, if this is really a one time thing (or rare thing) I would consider ship stix to just ship the clubs. If you don't fancy that, that used SKB mentioned above won't let you down.
