I used Ship Sticks to ship my clubs to Bandon Dunes and they were very affordable and offered great customer service. I received a phone call the day my clubs were to be picked up and was able to track my shipment on their website. Bandon works directly with Ship Sticks and when I arrived my clubs were waiting for me. I priced them out and only had to pay $59 to ship across country.

I fly 25-30 weeks of the year with my golf clubs on SWA and have NEVER had a club damaged. Of course, I don't use the soft golf travel bags, only the hard golf travel case by Golf Guard. I pack a Titleist Staff Bag, full set of clubs, shoes, 9 balls, normal accessories and my "birdie bottle" of Crown Royal and the weight comes out to 47 lbs - under the 50 lb limit. As Kyle notes, if you use a soft case you need to pack the clubs. The airlines are handling luggage, not babies.

I travel on SWA with my clubs 2-4 times a month. It's not the airlines fault that your clubs get broken. I make sure that the shaft that is exposed is securely wrapped in t-shirts. I then wrap a giant towel around the bundle of clubs. I use a tour grade bag (Club Glove) and jam that thing full of my golf gear and other clothing. I basically use the thing as my suitcase. I never pay to travel with my bags. I have 1 carry on, dump the golf travel bag at ticketing and I'm off. I would NEVER do it any other way.

I've sent my clubs on Alaska Air before but with prices going up thought it would be good to consider shipping when we go to Phoenix

However, on Southwest there is a high probability your clubs will be damaged. Last trip my friends driver was broken in half and his sand wedge was bent beyond repair. Three of us play together all the time, everytime we go on Southwest, one of the cases is damaged.
