"Why wasn't this golf travel bag invented about 20 years ago?"  That's the first sentence that came out of my mouth the second I started carting around my new Sun Mountain ClubGlider Journey around the Salt Lake City International Airport a couple of weeks ago.  I really could have used this ease when I was huffing my clubs in and out of airports on my big golf trip to St. Andrews, Scotland last summer.  By the time I got to St. Andrews my right shoulder was very sore from bearing the weight of my golf bag.

Overview

The ClubGlider Journey is the newest and lightest model in the ClubGlider series of golf travel bags from Sun Mountain.  The ClubGlider Journey is similar to many golf travel bags with the bottom half being a hard shell tray and the top half soft.  That's where the similarities end.

The Journey has a 2nd set of integrated retractable wheels which fold into the bottom tray for storage and travel.  The legs extend and lock into place when moving the bag around airports and parking lots.  With the four wheel setup, ALL of the travel bag's weight is supported without the help of the schlepper.  All the schlepper (bag carrier) needs to do is hold the handle at the top of the bag and guide the bag in whatever direction he's going.
