Giving Thanks

As we prepare for this season of giving thanks -- for our family, friends, food, and fairways -- we also brace ourselves for the perils of this being the busiest travel time of the year.

Men's Collection Women's Collection

Luckily, Puma has introduced its new Travel Golf Collection of luggage to make our holiday getaway experience -- whether it includes a golf outing or not -- much easier.

Here's the 411 to ensure bulky, cumbersome golf club carriers and bags overflowing with attire are a thing of the past.

Problem: Struggling with heavy golf gear on the road is nothing to gobble about.

Solution: The new Puma Travel Golf Bag is light enough to roll on its wheels, large enough to fit a full set of clubs, safely protected from gorilla baggage handlers, and spacious enough to hold a full range of golf attire, accessories and footwear.


Problem: You're going to Wisconsin, not Waikiki.

Solution: The coordinated selection of men's and women's clothing in the Travel Golf Collection are made from state-of-the art performance fabrics that are wrinkle-resistant, breathable and quick to dry, yet stylish -- allowing you the versatility to go from the course straight to the Thanksgiving dinner table.


Problem: You have boots, sneaks and loafers packed -- and another pair of shoes will send you over the 50-pound bag limit.

Solution: Puma's Traveller golf shoe is an extremely lightweight shoe designed for both men and women. Flexible enough for compact packability, but sturdy enough to support the longest drive, the Traveller's rubber-studded bottom makes it wearable both on and off the course.


Problem: Too much of the in-laws, like too much feasting, gives you a headache.

Solution: Be thankful because there is still plenty of room in Puma's Golf Travel Bag to pack the extra strength pain reliever.

The Puma Travel Golf Collection will be available at Puma Concept stores and select retailers beginning in late November. The collection will make its national debut with Puma athlete Geoff Ogilvy at the 2006 PGA Grand Slam of Golf today and Wednesday in Kauai, Hawaii.
