Really weird question. Any of you guys bring your golf clubs on trips? Not a full set but maybe one of those cases that fit 8-9 clubs that you can carry with you in the cockpit. I know most courses rent clubs but I would like my own set.

Like someone else said. Kcm kind of a deal-breaker.
If I am Gonna try to golf, I just pack gloves, balls, tees in a ziplock and rent clubs

I am sure our "industry-leading" IT interfaces between Crew Tracking and Delta Cargo and your clubs simply follow you on the re-route. 🤣🤣

I avoid the hassle with KCM and such and just stop by a pawn shop on the way to the course. I buy a baseball bat, rake, shovel and hoe.. Way cheaper than clubs. Sometimes I just borrow those from the grounds keeper and avoid incurring any costs....they usually don't have the baseball bat so I have to play with a handicap of being a "club" short.

After a few beers...doesn't really matter. It worked for Roy McEvoy in Tin Cup...it can work for you too.
