And what about those pesky liquids and gels? We've got all the answers to your burning questions about flying with golf gear. So before you start packing your bags for your next trip, make sure to give this blog post a read!
Can I Bring My Golf Balls on the Plane?
Yes, according to the TSA, you are allowed to have golf balls in both your carry-on and checked bags when flying. However, there are a few things worth noting about bringing golf balls on a plane. First, if you're packing them in your carry-on bag, they will need to go through the X-ray machine at security just like anything else. Second, if you're checking your golf clubs, put the golf balls in your golf bag or one of the pockets of your golf travel bag. You can also put them in any of your checked luggage.
Can I Bring My Golf Clubs on the Plane?
Absolutely, there is no problem flying with golf clubs. Most airlines treat golf bags as checked luggage, so you'll probably have to pay a fee as you would with any piece of checked luggage. However, TSA does not allow you to bring your bag or golf clubs as a carry-on.
A golf travel bag is the best way to protect your clubs while you're on the go. These bags are designed for easy transport, and many of them come with wheels so that you can easily get around the airport. Plus a golf travel bag is perfect for some of your extra gear.
What to do if You're Traveling With Your Golf Clubs Without a Travel Bag?
If you don't have a golf travel bag you can pack them in a cardboard box. Make sure to wrap your clubs in towels or bubble wrap. You can also check your regular golf bag. Again, make sure to wrap your clubs, put the rain cover on and remove all the straps.
What About Your Golf Shoes?
We get a lot of questions about how to best pack your golf shoes. If you're traveling with your golf clubs and a golf travel bag then putting them in either bag is a great option.
But a golf shoe bag is the best way to travel with your golf shoes. You may be wondering do golfers use golf shoe bags? You bet they do. Golf shoe bags help to protect your shoes and keep them clean while you're on the go. And you won't have any issues with TSA - you can carry them on the plane.
What About Those Pesky Liquids and Gels?
You're probably wondering if you can bring that bottle of sunscreen or bug spray in your carry-on bag. The answer is yes—but there are some restrictions. All liquids and gels must be stored in containers that hold 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less per item. These containers must then be placed in a clear quart-sized plastic baggie—and each passenger is only allowed one per bag. So plan accordingly!
So there you have it! Everything you need to know about flying with golf gear. With a little planning ahead, you can rest assured knowing that everything—from your clubs to your favorite golf balls—will arrive at your destination safe and sound.
