I recently had to deal with this. Their regulations also say no golf clubs as carry on, so I doubt they would let a golf club handle with a hook on the end as a carry on, I didn't even bother trying though. Going to Lousiana I initially shipped a hook in a cylindrical shipping tube as my a checked bag, and had no issues checking it. They did, however, lose the tube, and I'm still waiting on my claim check for it. When I was there, I of course needed a hook, so I bought another one, but this time shipped in a triangular prism box, which fed-ex gave me for free, and had no problems with it, but it did come through on the oversized items baggage claim. Hope this helps, good luck, and have fun!
