YOU CAN'T PUT 15KGS INTO EACH SUITCASE.YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED 15KGS TOTAL !!!!!
I would imagine that the five EMPTY suitcases will take you over your "Free" 15kg baggage allowance.
For every Kilo over 15kg (including the weight of 5 empty suitcases)
YOU WILL BE ASKED TO PAY £5.50 PER KILO
Weigh your empty cases and decide whether you think it's still worth taking everything.

I think you are missing the point here.

Let's put it in simple terms.
Say each empty suitcase weighs 3kilos, that will be your baggage allowance ie 5x3kg =15kg "free" limit
You will then be asked to pay the following.
5 suitcases @ £10 each = £50
1 set of golf clubs @ £20.50
Say for example you then put 10 kilos of clothes etc into each suitcase.
This will add up to 50 kilos of EXCESS BAGGAGE!! at a cost of
50x £5.50 = £275
Giving a grand total of £345.50 To pay at the check in counter.

Just don't take any baggage. Good excuse to go shopping...
I went to Oz with just a sports bags, probably the best way of doing it as the climate varies quite a bit.....and for spain, if it didn't fit in the car, it didn't come...
(I arrived with a small case and my laptop, and a baseball bat)
