Whats a good estimate on shipping clubs from Greensboro to Scotland and back?

Wow, I've never looked into this. Looks like $250-$450 on the 2 services I checked, Ship Sticks and Luggage Forward. I'd definitely bring them on the plane. If you have to play with a decent rental set day 1, it's not that big a deal.

Dugan's is kind of trash now. I guess it was always trash but I liked getting wasted in the basement and their chicken sandwich was fine. Drum and Quill is a much of better version of Dugan's and also in the village. The new restaurant in the Pinehurst Clubhouse (The Deuce) is really nice. I've only ever had lunch buffet there but it's a cool place to eat and then sit out on the porch and watch the final groups come in on #2. I guess the other places in the Village worth going to are Theo's, Ten Ya and the Holly Inn but the earlier suggestions are better.
The place I always send people that will leave the village is Ironwood. Much better prices than Elliot's or Chef Warrens and I think the food is better. Good menu, good food, good cocktails, good service, good vibe. If you want a laid back vibe and good food then the bar at Pine Needles is another option.
Just as a comparison, ShipSticks quoted me ~$450 roundtrip from FL to Ireland next month for The Open.
Soooo the new Titleist irons that have popped up look pretty sweet. Love my current set but they are about 4 years old so may be looking for an upgrade....
Agree - It's highway robbery but the UPS quote was only slightly better.
Haven't yet explored the FedEx option but I will be shocked if not in the same ballpark.
Worst case scenario just check them on the plane for 100.00, right?
Well, *worst* case scenario is you check them for $100 and you get them four days late with all your graphite shafts snapped near the top.

Finally got to play RTJ this week. That place is golf paradise on earth.
Are you talking about the golf trail? Where did you play? We have just moved to Huntsville...Have played some of the trail but looking to explore more. As a resident, it's very affordable.
No, RTJ on Lake Manassas here in the DC area where they've held some President's Cups and the Tiger tourney. Just an incredible facility, short game area alone is bonkers. Although I did almost talk my friends into an RTJ golf trail trip a couple years ago and was bummed that we couldn't make it work. Have heard nothing but good things about the value and quality of courses.
