shipping clubs

[jonf]

Picked up a couple clubs today at GT, and I've got to get them out to BC. Not sure if I will ship them, or take them on the plane with me....depends how many pieces of luggage I end up having. Anyway, I've never shipped clubs, and I was wondering if anybody has advice on the best way to pack them. I was thinking of just putting them in a box filled with styrofoam worms, but I don't know whether that will be enough protection. Any thoughts from all you ho's out there?

Wehever I ship a club, I use bubble wrap. the foam worms tend to settle unless you pack them in there well! Since they are your own clubs, pack them well buddy!

Ya, I'm leaning towards a layer or two of bubble wrap around each club, followed by foam worms. I really don't trust Air Canada.

Smart man!

How much will they charge you? You might want to consider Fedex ground.

I'm going to give them a call, but I'm pretty sure that if it's my second piece of checked baggage when I fly out there, it will be free of charge.

It's definitely free as a second piece of checked luggage. You might want to consider using some newspaper to pack with as well. Crumpled newspaper will keep the clubs in place better than styrofoam noodles, keep them from moving around and banging into each other. I really liked the Hogan fws I had, nice pick up!

Perfect....my dad's got piles of old newspapers and foam worms that my mom is DYING to get rid of. Merry Christmas to her.

I can understand why she would be wanting rid of them! (sorry, couldn't resist)

I always thought they were foam "peanuts".
All of the above would still apply.

I think this might be officially a thread jacking n'est pas?
