In 2013 I took a group of my students to South Africa on a golf/safari trip.
One of my fellow travelers had a unique golf bag that had a set of wheels that popped out from the bag at the exact angle to easily pull the bag along through busy airports. This was the Sun Mountain Club Glider Meridian! Of course, as soon as I got home, I ordered one, and in 2014 when I took another group to Scotland (see the itineraries of future trips here), I took along my new bag, and it worked like a charm. Why don’t I see more golfers traveling with this bag? So when I saw this timely article by Keil Christianson, writing for WorldGolf.com, I had to share.
Traveling can be a real pain if you don’t have the right travel bags!
I just returned from a quick trip to Northern Ireland to play some of the best links courses on the planet. Although I expected that playing Royal County Down would be a transformative experience, I did not anticipate that my new golf travel bag would be such a revelation.
The Sun Mountain Club Glider Meridian Travel Bag ($290) has flip-out aluminum legs with wheels. When extended, the legs prop the bag at the perfect angle to grasp and roll easily over nearly any surface.

Any avid golfer will tell you that the all-time great golf movies are “Caddyshack,” “Tin Cup,” and “Happy Gilmore.”
And not many would argue with that. But over the years, there have been quite a few entertaining golf movies that I have really enjoyed. Here is an additional list of some of my top golf movies.
Seven Days in Utopia, The Legend of Bagger Vance, The Greatest Game Ever Played, Bobby Jones – Stroke of Genius, Dead Solid Perfect, and although a little hokey, Follow the Sun.
Christopher McDonald plays a Titanic Thompson-Esque character named Riverboat.
The list of “watchable golf movies” is shorter than the list of Career Grand Slam Winners (Masters Era). The latter is five (Sarazen, Hogan, Nicklaus, Player, Woods). By my count, the former is just three: “Caddyshack,” “Happy Gilmore” and “Tin Cup.”
And, to be quite honest, in order to even make a list of golf movies, the term “golf movie” needs to be applied quite loosely for all three of these: Little to none of the on-course action felt authentic at all, including the swings of the main characters.
Enter Terry Jastrow, seven-time Emmy-winning producer/director, with an extensive pedigree in televised golf. In his new movie, “The Squeeze,” Jastrow relates a story based on the real-life experience
