Travel covers protect and transport sports equipment or other objects during travel in cars, trains, walking or airlines. Typical travel covers have a handle attached to an enclosure having at least one wheel. The travel covers may have a cradle on an interior surface of an enclosure for receiving a potentially abrasive wear portion of the sporting equipment or other object to protect the travel cover from wear. The travel cover may be for a golf bag and clubs, where the cradle receives a portion of the stand mechanism for a golf stand bag or a connection portion for a golf cart bag.
