My teen son and husband bike to a 9-hole course in the summer, just carrying necessary clubs, with a small carrier that wraps around the shafts. My husband sticks this in his pannier bag, and it works great. We put a little basket low on my son's rear wheel, and stick them in there and strap the shafts to the bike's rack. Neither of them has needed to bring a whole bag of clubs for this purpose, so this stripped-down method has worked for them.
