When it comes to planning and coordinating a golf trip, the most amount of time is spent selecting golf courses, making tee times, booking accommodations, and finding things to do off the course, too. Flights, or how you’re actually getting to and from your destination, seem to garner less attention. And, funnily enough, the flights and overall airport experience are often the worst part of the trip itself!

We think it’s time to turn more attention to how you’re actually traveling with your golf clubs. And, so does Ship Sticks.

Ship Sticks is dedicated to ensuring your golf clubs and luggage arrive safely and on time to the first tee, no matter where it may be. The premise is simple, and it’s all in the name. Put simply, they’ll ship your golf clubs to nearly any corner of the globe. Shall we consider your interest piqued? Read on for all the reasons you should ship your golf clubs ahead with Ship Sticks.

1. Avoid airport headaches.

Golfers will go to great lengths to play the world’s best courses. And it starts with dragging 50 lbs of golf clubs and another 50 lbs of luggage from the airport parking lot to the check-in counter, from baggage claim to a rental car, from a rental car to a hotel room, from…well, you get the point. By the time you finally arrive at your destination, you’re not only drowning in sweat but you’re physically exhausted from all the heavy lifting.

When you ship your golf clubs with Ship Sticks, you can breeze through the airport paying no mind to the long lines at bag check, the folks playing Tetris with the overhead bins, or the nervous onlookers waiting for their luggage to roll out at baggage claim. It’s just that easy. Ship Sticks handles the hard stuff so you don’t have to.

2. Ship your luggage, too.

We’ve alluded to it already, but Ship Sticks isn’t just for golf clubs. You can relieve yourself of the baggage burden altogether by shipping your luggage ahead, too. They offer shipping options for carry-ons along with checked and oversized baggage to best accommodate you.
