It is not like TSA could give a crap about what is really in there. put a couple of cheap putters in andtruthfully say, "yup, those are my clubs".

WHY NOT????
Because airlines even have rules as to how many golf balls you can have. 12 max. So I don't think they will buy it. Now they are trying to cut back even more. Continental will allow 70lbs of Dive gear and others have sports gear exceptions. The problem many agents don't know. So print it out and take to the counter when you check in.
