Anyone have similar experiences, or better yet, have success filing a claim with the airline?

Continental temporarily lost mine and my BIL's clubs when I went to Scotland in 2011. Caused us to miss our tee time at Prestwick, which still chaps my ass to no end. I stayed on their ass long enough to get two $150 vouchers, but we also had major mechanical difficulties on the return flight.
In the future, travel with a piece of 1/2" PVC pipe longer than your driver in your bag. Usually what happens is that the jackasses jam the clubs in too tight of a space and all the pressure is transferred to the head of the tallest club, which results in your shaft snapping.
Also, call PING, give them your serial #s and explain the situation. If you get the right rep, they will cover you.
