They get you comming and going. I just paid 40 each way for my clubs on a trip to Puerto Vallarta. The thing about Vegas is no one is going there. I was there in December and March and the Casino's were offering big discounts on rooms and golf. Anyway golf is not a low dollar sport now is it.

The casinos should reimburse the luggage fees as room and golf discounts or script for the casino.

The only way to make golf a low dollar sport is sell your clubs, subscribe to Golf Digest, visualize playing several rounds per week and tell us about it in "How was your round?" on this forum. smile

Bill something like this:

So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

or this:

He's on his final hole. He's about 455 yards away, he's gonna hit about a 2 iron I think. Cinderella story. Outta nowhere. A former greenskeeper, now, about to become the Masters champion. It looks like a mirac... It's in the hole! It's in the hole! It's in the hole!

Ace, thanks for joining in. It is fun. We like to soup each other up without being offensive (at least I'm not offensive) and dissing each other. smile
Is your user name Ace because you had one, or are you a card shark? shocked
Anyway, welcome. Write in often.

Welcome Ace. Yes, vegas gives a lot of discounts these days. I just visited and got a $1500/night suite for $150/night. I highly recommend if you are visiting, ask about upgrades when you get there. This was at Caesar's Palace and there was a huge difference in the room quality, size and amenities

But yes, it sucks to have to pay baggage fees for your clubs. SouthWest still does NOT charge fees. My recent experience with visiting Florida and struggling to find a course that would rent decent clubs tells me you probably just have to suck it up and pay the fees if you want decent clubs, or make lots of phone calls until you find a course that has something decent.

Welcome to the site Ace. Do you know you can order a really nice set of XK irons from Hireko golf and have your Ace on all your club? "ACER" really, but that's close enough for me. Again, welcome to the sight.
