    zotparkerm got a reaction from MGoBlue100 in Golf Travel Bags: Hard Sided or Soft Sided?   
    I could cut/paste most of Golf2Much's input - other than specific brand names I follow much the same practices.
    I have had really good luck finding soft side travel bags at thrift stores, so I actually double up my case.
    I definitely think that removing adjustable heads (drive and 3 wood for me) is a must. 
    I put head covers on all the irons and then wrap golf towels around/through the clubs and then around the outside (circumference) of the heads.  I put my longest in the middle trying to make sort of a cone shape with the driver shaft, broomstick (yep I am that cheap) and 4 iron in the middle.
    Multiple name tags all over and inside.
    On a recent trip I crammed both my clubs and wifes clubs into one bag (I thinned us down to 10 clubs each) and packed a floppy Sunday bag alongside the cart bag.
    I do find that the soft sides get ripped on occasion.  Double bagging pays off.
    I use 3-4 brightly coloured luggage straps to create an easy-grab extra handle and to make my bag stand out.

    zotparkerm got a reaction from bama no 1 in How many balls do you carry?   
    I have as many variables as I do balls (other than the obvious two!)

    If walking I start with 6-8.  I like to have a good quantity to warm up the chipping and putting (for which 100 would likely be more appropriate). 


    my wife’s service dog almost always accompanies us so I start with a couple of ‘chewers’ and he usually finds 2-3 more.  I keep them if they are a tip tier ball. He gets them for yard practice if not. 

    I’ve just recently started breaking 80. Prior to that I usually had a dozen in case things went “off”. 


    To date I have only had three rounds where one ball made the distance.
