LUGGAGE FORWARD

Anybody who travels with golf clubs knows it is about as much fun as hitting a drive OB. It is even worse if you are traveling internationally and you have to drag your bag through customs.

For those who want to do away with the hassle, there's Luggage Forward. The company will ship your golf bag, and any other pieces of luggage, from your doorstep to any destination in the world. The company guarantees an on-time arrival.

Golfers make up a large segment of Luggage Forward's client base. However, make no mistake, this is a luxury service with a premium price.

The roundtrip fee for a set of clubs from the U.S. to Scotland goes for $628. If you wanted to ship your clubs from Chicago to Sarasota, Fla., the fees start at $142.

Still, if you want to pamper a golfer, consider Luggage Forward.

Gift cards are available at luggageforward.com.
