BEST TRAVEL BAGS 2021
2021 Travel Bag Buyer’s Guide
How wonderful does a golf getaway sound? Pretty darned good after all the travel restrictions necessitated by COVID-19!
With that in mind and to make your golf trip worry-free (the travel part, anyhow), we tested the Best Travel Bags in 2021.
Rule No. 1: Don’t cheap out on a golf travel bag. You invested thousands of your hard-earned dollars into the gear you are putting into it so it makes sense to ensure your investment is protected.
Although travel bags come in all shapes and sizes, the hard-case versions are becoming obsolete. They tend to break into pieces when dropped. After testing both kinds over the years, I recommend a durable soft-case travel bag.
Whether you’re looking to buy a travel bag today, looking for some buying advice or just want a closer look at what’s on the market right now, this guide will help you find the right one for you.
Tips from the Short Game Master
Even at the age of 50, the Master of the Short Game has proven that he can still win a major championship. We really should learn from Phil Mickelson’s success. He provided 3 short game tips in a recent blog which was released by SCGA (Southern California Golf Association). Following is the abbreviated version of their blog.
Knowing these tips will improve your game but you can’t expect to instantly excel like Phil. He started practicing as a young boy in his back yard. Starting early helps but countless hours of practice are needed to learn the precision that he has accomplished. Learning these 3 tips should speed up your learning curve.
Setup with Weight on Your Front Foot:
Successful chipping needs a sharp edged 60 degree wedge where you keep the leading edge down to lift the ball through impact. Setting up with your weight forward helps you impact the ball first with your downward strike. A shallow swing will end up blading your ball across the green.
Setup for a High or Low Chip
Consider what you are trying to do with your chip before you setup. A high chip over a sand trap or rough around the green with a pin close to the edge of the green, the ball needs to be placed off your front foot. A low chip which you are using for directional and distance control should be setup for hitting off your back foot. The ball should never be setup for a chip between your feet as you need to keep your weight forward to avoid hitting the ball thin or scooping the ball.
Setup with an Inverse Line
Your arm and the club must be setup with an inverse line where your trailing wrist is bent back. You need a slight forward press in your hands to get the club in the correct position for crisp contact. Setting up with this position will ensure that your leading edge will stay down.
