Thanks to Golfbagshipping.com, golf enthusiasts can play anywhere in the United States without worrying about the hassle of transporting their golf equipment ever again!

Golf Bag Shipping (GBS), a new start-up company based in Fremont, CA, offers a nationwide service to have your golf equipment picked up and delivered to your golfing destination within two days. The bags can be picked up from anywhere and delivered to anywhere-for example, from your home directly to your hotel. After play, the bags can be automatically sent back home or to another destination.

Especially when travelling by air, the extra burdens involved in transporting golf equipment are inconvenient at best. GBS offers you complete autonomy and freedom from the extra luggage that golfers must deal with when travelling. Golf Bag Shipping's worry-free shipping convenience offers a superior alternative to manually carrying golf equipment during trips.

"We're enthusiastic about this service because, as a frequent golfer, I understand the frustration and hassle that carrying your own equipment can be. We also expect that this service will encourage an increase in the amount of tee-time play during business trips and short vacations. If the price is right, why would anyone want to carry their equipment to the airport terminal again?" said John Young, president and CEO of Golfbagshipping.com.

Prices range from $39-$59, falling into three simple price categories based on the distance of the shipment. Shipments within 600 miles are $39, shipments from 601-1400 miles are $49, and shipments farther than 1400 miles cost $59. (A surcharge is added for shipments to Alaska or Hawaii.)

To begin shipping, simply call GBS to obtain a travel package that contains a special container and all necessary shipping documents. Since the package is sent by Priority Mail, which can take up to three days, GBS recommends to call at least five days in advance. In the future, GBS hopes to set up distributorships at every major golf course and retail service shop so that shipping packages can be more quickly and easily obtained. Golf enthusiasts can obtain more information about the services GBS offers by calling (toll-free) 1-888-Golf-4-Me (1-888-465-3463), or by visiting online at Golfbagshipping.com.
