Shipsticks the most expensive way to move golf clubs, you can imagine. I looked into it, the first time I went to Ireland and it was ridiculous. If I remember correctly, it was well over $500.

If you're going on a golf trip, take your clubs with you, on the plane. I didn't pay any extra on Aer Lingus. If you're just going to play a round or 2, there's a company right near the Dublin Airport, that will rent you a fairly new set of GOOD clubs, for about $150-$200/week. I forget their name, but they were great to deal with.

The last time I was there, I was only going to play golf a couple of times, so I just rented them .... picked them up after I landed, brought them back when I departed the airport.
