When the original ClubGlider hit the market more than 15 years ago it was recognized as a gamechanger for schlepping your clubs through airports and across parking lots. From personal experience it certainly made air travel easier and while flying the friendly skies was still not enjoyable, it is at least doable.
There are memories such as having to change airlines and planes in Houston that required a trek from one end of the complex to the other with two carry-ons, a wheeled suitcase, and clubs. A long walk but Clubglider made it bearable. I highly recommend golf travelers make use of the convenience provided by this neat and efficient idea brought up to date with the latest model.
“Golf travel continues to grow, whether it’s destination golf trips, bucket-list experiences or business travel connected to the game,” said Grant Lordan, senior director of marketing and brand strategy for Sun Mountain Sports. “Golfers invest significant time and money into these trips, and protecting their equipment should not be an afterthought. One damaged club or travel issue can impact an entire trip before the first tee shot. With ClubGlider3, we focused on creating a more protective, secure and durable travel bag while maintaining the ease of use that made ClubGlider an industry leader through our patented retractable kickstand system, which continues to make navigating airports and travel destinations easier.”
