Last night around 7:30 my wife and I were driving home from picking up some dinner. While waiting at a redlight, a lady smashed her car into us going about 40mph without applying her brakes. She was too busy eating her hamburger and playing with her dog in the backseat. First of all, both my wife and I are fine and not injured.

Now for the sad part. My golf clubs were in the trunk, which was totally smashed up. In the midst of everything, I forgot they were in there. So, now they are sitting at a wrecker service until Monday when they open again. Here's to hoping that somehow those clubs survived with minimal or no damage. So, no golf for me today or tomorrow as I was planning on playing both days.

I'm thankful that my wife and I are okay. But, not so thankful that we're gonna have to buy a new car (I'm pretty sure that ours is totaled) and possibly new clubs. How awful. Anyone else want to purchase or donate some new clubs to me?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I so glad you are OK. But,


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The waiting must be excruciating-- Best of luck! I got hit by a phone talker last week. Only cosmetic damage. Insurance stuff is a pain in the rear. Clubs are safe, though.

And Renters/Home insurance sometimes kicks in on just these occasions!

yeah, i've got to wait until monday to see if/how much damage has been done to the clubs. i completely forgot they were in the trunk until i got up this morning to play golf and couldn't find my sticks.

i was told to take some pictures and get some prices and that the lady's insurance should cover it.

I'm glad you and your wife are OK.

With respect to the insurance, don't forget that the fitting and frequency matching for clubs are part of the cost - it isn't just the cost to go to the pro shop and pick up a matching set. And make sure the insurance company understands this.

Sorry to hear about your clubs. I thought the sad news was that the lady died... That had a funny twist.

How are you feeling today? You have to be sore as hell after getting hit like that. Sometimes it takes a day or so to feel it. First and foremost you have to be grateful that you and your wife are uninjured, so to me that would makes it a happy day. You can replace your golf clubs and car, but you cannot replace you or your wife.

Your clubs should be fine, but if they are not I am sure you can settle with the insurance company especially since their driver was negligent and totalled your car at a red light. Before you agree to any settlement, make sure that you both don't need any medical treatment.

So obviously not only will you be claiming for a set of Miura blades, but also for the whiplash that the accident has caused..??

      Yea Club Rat said it. I really enjoyed the Senator and the Judge, then over to Grand National where there a couple good courses plus a fun par 3. The one I do play whenever I visit there is Ross Bridge; something about this course that is just good fun. I hope to play more of the courses in the future, but tomorrow is promised to no one, so hope is the key word. Have Fun, iSank

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.

      Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.
