Why These Are Probably The Most Expensive Golf Shafts

There are some very pricey exotic golf shafts on the market (can you stomach $1,200 per?), but these filled with cocaine might trump them all. Golf.com’s Dylan Dethier has the details.

According to police in Western Australia, a suspected drug smuggler was nabbed at Perth Airport with a set of golf clubs allegedly loaded with a kilo of cocaine.

Police said they they noticed the man “acting strangely” while holding a set of clubs. When they checked his sticks, they found something surprising: the 55-year-old was allegedly trying to smuggle cocaine in the shafts.​ Police did not provide the make or model of the set, but did provide photos of one shaft cut open and another that had been x-rayed.

The almost one kilogram of cocaine being smuggled in a set of golf clubs was among illegal drugs netted by WA police as part of a recent nationwide crackdown.

Street value is about $24,000-$27,000 in the states.
