Golf balls carried in hand luggage

[SAPCOR1]

A friend of mine was told at East Midlands (one of the worlds' worst) airport that he couldn't take them in his hand baggage so had to hand them in.

We flew with Jet2 a couple of weeks ago, all 4 of us had approx 20 balls each in hand luggage, no issues, no questions asked.

I've flown Easyjet to Canary Islands many a time with half a dozen balls in hand luggage - no issue at all. I have a little zipped bag in which I carry a few tees, a few balls, couple of ball markers, pencil, and a pitch mark repairer. Just goes into my hand luggage suitcase. Never been asked about it.

Anybody else think maybe the reason the OP is asking about handluggage is that they're flying cheap and not-so-cheerful, so no check-in luggage?

The obvious answer to anybody is to put them in the hold but if you're not already checking anything in, it's expensive just for golf balls and probably better off buying them there!

(I could be lying to you here but) I think I took a dozen in my handluggage last year without issue.

Well yes, that was my assumption too, otherwise I'm not sure why the OP would ask.
