Shipping golf clubs..what’s the best/most economical service?

Delta - my bag flies free

I have used Ship Sticks twice when I headed out to Bandon. Definitely a price to it, but it was nice to have the clubs waiting for me at the course. From Orlando, you change planes twice, so it was great piece of mind. Price vs Convenience.
From Orlando to Bandon Dunes, $165 for Next Day, $75 for 6 day (each way).

What is the insurance policy on clubs on a plane? Does anyone take the head off a screw on driver for flight?

I've flown with mine several times and it's been fine. Just buy a good travel bag. I do have iron covers that I pit on when I fly with them to prevent bag chatter, but between that and head covers it's fine.

You can ship the clubs to the destination in your travel bag and then check them with the airlines on the way home. Obviously if you're dishing out a good chunk of money for a golf trip then shipping is worth it to ensure your clubs are there on time. On the way home, you may not care if your clubs are a day behind so you can save a little money by checking them on your flight. I've had clubs get bumped to a later flight many times - but never lost outright by an airline.

Shipsticks is a little pricey but they have never screwed it up. My Clubs beat my luggage last time I played in Tahoe. I pack my shoes, jackets, vest, and a change of clothes in my golf bag as insurance now.
