I have seen several motorbikes in Geneva carrying skis which, although lighter, are similarly improbable motorcycle luggage items!
These were carried upright, standing on their tails, strapped in a frame resembling small open-topped panniers with an additional securing/stabilising tubular brackets about a foot higher.

It's been done, there was a mention in performing berks magazine a few years ago, two blokes went golfing in Spain, from the uk, travelling on honda blackbirds. (cbr1100)
They got a lentgh of large bore plastic pipe (18"?), got bungs for the ends, attached them from the pillion seat, across the rear rack, and out behind the bike by a couple of feet. Customs showed a bit of interest, but the idea worked well.

I've carried a 30 foot ladder.
And a double wardrobe flat pack
And usually have a cocktail cabinet
So, if I did want to ruin a good walk by whacking a little while ball round, I guess I could. To be honest though, I'm really not into golf. I never seem to be able to do that one where the sails on the windmill block the hole.
I do have a sidecar though

Ok, this is cheating...
Ok, I'm cheating, we took a car... .
A golf club doesn't seem too bulky, so finding a place should be doable.
I never played golf, except on our three month trip in Central Asia last year. We drove a car, so that's cheating, but it sure was fun kicking a bal so now and then... .

Clubs or clubs?
It just crossed my mind that elprime, in asking about golf clubs, was actually referring to the Clubs rather than the 'bats'.
The only Golf Clubs I know do not welcome motorcycles beyond the carpark.
Pity, because with all that grass, hills and patches of sand I could see much motorcycling potential
LOL

Robbert,
Much respect for your dress sense: the right and impeccable dress for every occasion.

Pete,
Maybe it was an AT on a Paraglider? Either way, it had to be great fun.
