Taking golf clubs on a flight
Discussion
Soft golf bag will be fine but I would get one unless your hood is very secure. Most that I have had I would not be comfortable with the poppers coping with the rough and tumble of baggage handling, put the hood on as they are usually padded and then soft bag with zip over the whole caboodle.
I would get one of those soft bags for taking clubs on aeroplanes
You should be able to pick one up for about £25.
They generally won't take the bag on it's own as it has too many straps and protrusions etc.

- *** TOP TIPs *****
Pack your clothes in the bag as well to soften any impacts.
Make the bag as heavy as possible - Otherwise the handlers can throw them further/higher into the hold.
Buy a cover, even if its a thin one without padding. Airplanes and handling systems are dirty, your bag may end up covered in carp if not. Shrink wrap is another option.
