Both types are available.

You can buy a travel bag that also is your playing bag when you reach your destination. These are always a hard shell bag. They tend to be smaller in diameter than your normally playing bag so you may not be able to take all of your sticks. The top detaches so it performs like small golf bag.

If you take your own playing bag then you can get two types of travel bags.

One is the soft shell type that is heavily padded but doesn't stand alone or stack well. Can be a bit cumbersome and difficult when going through an airport. Airport security always inspects soft shell carry bags so that may be a hassle.

The other type is a hard shell travel bag. They provide the most protection for your clubs. They can be easily maneuvered through an airport and will stand upright. Both come in various sizes depending on what size playing bag you take. I always wrap towels around the club heads in all of the types of travel bags just for added security and protection.

I think you wanted to know the difference between travel bags, didn't you?

Not which travel bag someone might think is the best, right?

I've logged over 1,000,000 miles on American Airlines alone, and schlepped my sticks around the world. From that experience, I'll tell you this:

I've busted every type of travel bag (hard and soft) until I got a Club Glove bag two years ago. It's indestructable.

If you plan on doing much travel with your clubs, I highly suggest the investment.

THUMBS DOWN for giving good advice? Nice. Perhaps we need some sort of licensing system so that only intelligent adults can rate answers.

To answer your question - your golf clubs in your golf bag go into the travel bag. I agree with the others that the Club Glove is a great bag.

I took the Club Glove on vacation last summer and I packed all our shoes and extra clothes in the bag with my clubs. Just don't exceed the weight limit.

The best for protection slip over your bag . The number 1 used by tour players is by a company called Club Glove.

No, your bag and clubs go inside a proper travel bag. When you arrive at your destination you have everything you need....I would suggest leaving your staff bag at home and using a lighter carry bag in it's place though.

It's luggage for your clubs to protect them from harm.
