Well, I had my club fitting on the 28th and posted the full article of my experience in the Advice section of the site. The fitting was very enjoyable, and quite enlightening. Additionally, I am glad I spent close to a month in the gym doing golf-centric workouts to prepare for the fitting, as it did span nearly two hours. If you are considering a club fitting so early in the season (or what amounts to the off-season in my case), I highly recommend you do the same for the best results. Be sure to check out the full article on my club fitting experience! All the work I did in the gym has an added benefit as it turns out…
I am headed to sunny Florida to play some golf with my friend, who just happens to be the best golfer I know. Hope I can keep up! I know he is camera shy but I will try to get him to act as my camera man so I can post my adventures here for you! And when I say adventures, I do mean it, many of my most exciting and downright unbelievable stories involve this man (most having nothing to do with golf)!
After a good bit of research I decided to ship my clubs down there, rather than check them. I did this for three reasons; first, it’s just easier for me (I do have a disability as you may recall), second, it costs about the same or less to ship them, and third, you can insure your clubs whereas on the plane you cannot. Thus, I bought the Samsonite Club Coffin…
I feel like I’m driving a hearse with that in the back! The good folks at The UPS Store informed me that this is the best travel case to buy if you plan to ship it because you just need to affix the label and you are good to go, no additional box or packing materials necessary. Here are some other tips and information on shipping your clubs:
I am happy with this case and the method described above. There is more than enough room for my clubs, golf shoes, and what i would normally pack in a checked suitcase. So all i need is my carry on and I’m golden!
Sunny Florida, you are soon to meet Jay!… Now to find a driving range thats open!
Great advice, Jay. I’m looking forward to reading about your trip. Hope you have a great time! 🙂
Have a great time – I’m sure, as always, you’ll document it well and share it with us on JaysGolf.com!
How long did it take you to write this? This is Absolutely fantastic.
That “club coffin” looks legit! Far more sturdy than the flimsy thing I used to check my clubs out to California! Looks like you are all set — nothing can get through that thing!
@Ryan, yea man, you bet. may not be the best choice for flights as its around ~17-20 lbs on its own, but slap a shipping label on there and you’re good to go!
@Jewels & Scott, thanks! And, will do, check twitter early and often! haha
