Save Your 300 Driver With A 5 Broom Stick (Video) - by Pete Styles

If you’ve ever sat on an aeroplane and look to the baggage handlers through the window, just throwing those suitcases around, I was looking at them and thinking, oh please that’s not my suitcase. But then I'm thinking about well I want to go on a flight, I want to go to America, I want to go and play golf. So these bad boys my pride and joy they're going to have to go through that process of being on an aeroplane, they're going to have to be picked up by one of those baggage handlers and hauled down the runway onto a cart. And I want to try and protect them the best possible way I can. Now most of the clubs in the bag they're going to be quite well protected, they're all wrapped up I could even put towels and things in there.

But the one thing that is going to really struggle to be well protected is the big lad, the driver. The driver is sitting here proud on top of the bag and actually underneath his head cover, there is a tiny little flimsy shaft sitting there, and that’s the only that’s supporting that club head. Now if a baggage handler throws your bag he’s going to throw it face first and that is the thing that will take the brunt of the impact, that’s the top club, that’s the thing that’s going to hit the side of the aeroplane, the wall even the runway. So here is a $5 tip to save the $300 driver. What I'm going to suggest you do is take a broom handle, now this is actually a training aid that I use when I travel but it works brilliantly if it was a broom handle. So take a broom handle detach it from the broom head so you've just got the stick and then put that inside your bag, then put the flight cover on top of that or the hood on top of that. And then what you'll find is that that is the tallest stick in the bag. So when the flight crew throw that against the runway or against the side of the aeroplane that’s the thing that takes the impact and that can't snap as easily as that can snap. So if you ever go in on an aeroplane with your golf clubs and you don’t want to get there and have to buy a new 300 pound driver because someone's thrown it across an airport or across a runway, put a $5 broom handle in the top of your bag, wrap it all up with the hood and the flight cover and everything else and this little device will be saving you that $300 driver. 2015-04-01
