There is nothing more sacred to a golfer than his clubs. I’m talking about a real golfer who treats his clubs like members of the family.
The care and safety of those clubs are paramount to a golfer’s game, and traveling with the clubs can be particularly scary. There is nothing worse than watching the luggage carousel, hoping they arrive, hoping they are healthy.
Last summer I took my first trip to Hilton Head, S.C. My clubs arrived at the Savannah airport, but my travel bag looked as if someone had fired a shotgun into it. It and my stand bag were ruined. Fortunately my clubs were unharmed.
For those who don’t want to risk such a fate, Dosko-Sport has a product that might make golfers feel a little better about traveling with the clubs. Its Proseries 2-n-1 Travel bag is, as the name implies, a travel bag and a golf bag. It features hard-shell construction and doubles as a course-ready bag. The real beauty of this product is its lack of bulk. It fits nicely into a car trunk.

On the downside is the dork factor. The 2-n-1 has the look of something a novice would buy. Nevertheless, the 2-n-1 is a great product. Travel & Leisure Magazine named it the best overall product of the year last year. I just can’t get past how it looks.
So I settled with United for the damage and got a new travel bag, one that wouldn’t take up the trunk of those midsize rental cars. The Club Glove Burst Proof gives my clubs plenty of protection yet it isn’t huge.
Suggested retail is $119.99-$189.99 for the Proseries, $159 for the Burst Proof with wheels.
