ETSU Golf teams to use “Ship Sticks” to transport equipment

Globally-known company Ship Sticks has offered to transport the East Tennessee State University men’s and women’s golf teams’ gear next season after a video of airline workers mishandling the men’s team’s equipment went viral. The video was posted on May 21 after the men’s team landed in California for the NCAA Championship. The golf team said it was concerned about the clubs in the bags being thrown by airport workers. ETSU Athletic officials at the time reported that the improper care damaged a few bags but no clubs. Monday, ETSU Athletics announced that Ship Sticks offered to transport both the men’s and women’s golf teams’ bags next season after the company saw the viral video, and the ETSU has accepted that offer.
