Send them by ship!!! Air freight is silly for heavy stuff. If you really want to compare options & get advice, talk to a shipping agent (they deal with air / surface).

Buy the tools and golf clubs out there (loads cheaper) and make some cash selling them back in the UK but you would still need to ship them back.

Upgrade to Premium Economy (one way) then you can take 2 No. 23Kg cases?
Don't know about golf clubs though?
Also check on Duties?

I've brought things back from the States - their stuff is definitely cheaper.

Be aware you cant take anything into the USA. They have a list of prohibited items as long as your arm and longer. Also so do airlines. Your best bet would be to use a courier , this site does it cheap

I used to spend a lot of time in the US on work, if I was you I'd look on at as a great opportunity to buy Stanley Bedrocks, Disston saws, and a whole lot else at great prices!
