Sun Mountain ClubGlider Meridian
The leg mechanism alone makes it worth every penny. It stands itself up at the curb and rolls through the terminal instead of getting dragged like a sled.
F&M Picks

For the trip
Getting the clubs and the carry-on there and back.
Sun Mountain ClubGlider3
The newest bag in the ClubGlider line, with an integrated TSA lock and an internal AirTag pocket.
Sun Mountain Kube
The honest budget pick if you check clubs rarely: padded, folds flat, no wheels or legs to pay for.
TravelPro MaxLite Air V2
The clamshell layout packs more than a top-loader and glides one-fingered across smooth terminal floors. Curbs and gravel still favor a two-wheel bag, so know your trip before you switch.
Twelve South AirFly SE
Lets us use our own Bluetooth headphones with the seat-back screen on a flight.
Bose QuietComfort headphones
The noise-cancelling headphones we bring for flights.
Osprey Daylite expandable travel pack
An expandable pack we use for travel when we want something lighter.
EPICKA Pulse Air universal travel adapter
A universal travel adapter we pack for trips abroad.
In the bag
What actually comes out of the bag on the first tee.
Titleist Players S4 Stand Bag
Titleist's step-up players stand bag. Built to carry a full set without feeling like it by the back nine.
TaylorMade TP5 Golf Ball
A five-piece tour ball, the same one played for years for lack of a real reason to test another one seriously enough to switch.
Titleist Players Glove
Plain leather, no gimmicks. The one piece of gear in the bag nobody's ever thought about upgrading.
Branded Bills Flat-Brim Hat
A flat-brim snapback that fits a rotation without babying it. Replace it when the sun wins, not on a schedule.
Golf glove holder case
A hard case with a glove shaper, so a spare glove stays flat in the bag.
Softspikes Cleat Kaddy
The spike wrench we keep in the bag for swapping worn spikes.
Collapsible golf alignment sticks, 2-pack
Collapsible sticks that fit in the bag, for checking aim and ball position on the range.
Retractable club brush and groove cleaner, 2-pack
A retractable brush and groove cleaner. The pack of two means one for the bag and one spare.
Our puzzle books
Golf-themed puzzle books we write and publish ourselves.
Kakuro for Beginners
Start here if you have never solved a kakuro: a step-by-step tutorial first, then 100 puzzles that build from very easy to moderate.
Golf Course Kakuro, Volume 1
100 kakuro laid out like a round of golf, easy on the front nine and harder as the round goes on.
Golf Course Kakuro Vol. 3
The toughest round yet, for solvers who have already worked through the earlier volumes.
Golf Course Word Search
100 word searches built from the language of the game, with answer keys for every puzzle at the back.
