I was playing behind the amnesia society a while back.I returned 6 assorted wedges to the clubhouse in one round,not to mention 5 headcovers and a pair of golf shoes????.

I have only ever left one club behind (which I went back for as soon as I realised at the next hole) but I always carry my clubs now so hopefully that will be my last

That is freakin' hilarious!

(+1 for "amnesia society"!) I've also found numerous headcovers, and clubs (never shoes though!) Most of the time, I either catch up to the group directly ahead and ask if the lost the items, or the owner retraces his/her steps and I give them back directly. But if not, they go back to the clubhouse. Based on the posts from people who've lost items, I'm astounded by the number of golfers who apparently don't return found items. Even if I didn't want to return the item (which I do), I'd be afraid the club would be cursed with bad karma. Then again, I'm the kind of guy who never pick up balls that don't belong to me. I've had enough of my own balls disappear while still in play to know how it feels to go from "Ah crap, bad shot" to "Damnit! Where's my ball? Stroke and freakin' distance!" (That reminds me: Dear Mr. Sticky Fingered Ball Thief: Just because you find a ball in the shared rough of our adjacent fairways while looking for your ball doesn't mean it's abandoned . . . yours wasn't, was it? I don't care how much you think a ball must be abandoned, this is not an Easter egg hunt. How would you feel if I picked up your ball and stuck it in my pocket while looking for my own ball? Just leave it. Seriously. It's a used ball. Go to Wal-Mart and buy a big ole box of 'em cheap. If you're too cheap to even do that, then just ask. I'll give you a ball out of my bag. I'm more concerned about my score than a used ball.)

Sorry about your lost club.

That is a bad feeling when you realize it....and even worse when you go to the pro shop and find that it wasn't turned in!!!!!!!!!!

Funny this topic was started, today we started down the first hole and the 8th green is near where my tee shot lands on #1 fairway. I happen to glance over to the 8th green and see a wedge laying there with nobody around. I walk over and see a group on the 9th tee and yell to them. They guy is like dumbfounded then realizes he had left his wedge. It was a nice RAC wedge.


If it had been a Mizuno wedge I may not have yelled,,,,LOL,,,Justy Kidding!!!

Sorry you lost your wedge. Glad you picked up a NEW one, though. Hope it works out.

Some things I know: 1) People will steal anything not bolted down to the planet; 2) If you want to keep what is yours, mind it more closely.

I can honestly say in over 30 years of playing golf, I have NEVER left a club behind for someone to pick up and keep for their own. Like you, I've found turned in many a wedge, a couple of putters, hats, headcovers, golf towels and the like. Never thought of keeping someone else's gear, either. And I'm sure those who went back for a lost piece of gear were quite happy to recover their item.

How's the new wedge working?!!!

Last summer my dad left an Adams GT3 9 iron on a green at a course we played a couple hours from our town. He didn't realize it until a few days later, so we called the pro shop and asked if anyone had turned it in...of course they hadn't.

As despicable as I find the act, I can at least understand why someone would steal a wedge, driver, fairway wood, etc., but for the life of me I can not see any point in stealing an iron from the middle of a set. What, they prefer it to their current 9 iron? They have an extra spot in their bag so they fill it with a stronger lofted 9 iron to bridge the gap to their 8 iron?

Anyone that steals someone else's club deserves to have their whole set of clubs stolen and I would feel no pity for them. The only scum worse than thieves is child molestors and murderer's.

I would never be able to keep a club that didn't belong to me. Not how I was raised.

Anyone that thinks it's your own fault or you deserve it if you leave a club there is an idiot.

here's something terrible.

my boy left his vokey 56 & 60. with Project X 6.5's and at the time they had new grips that were proto-type sh** that weren't released yet. we're at golfsmith and a guy walks in with both of them. guess who he was.. the group behind us the day before. he's like yeah...these just don't fit me anymore... OF COURSE THEY DIDN'T FIT HIM. he was 55 yrs old and 5.4 saying they were his old clubs (that were brand new, same grip same shafts and worst of all... if you're 5.4 and have lanky arms...then why would you be swinging a club that has an extra 1" in the shaft? my boy's 6'2". so golfsmith lets him return it..and my boy has to rebuy them at $80 a wedge. terrible!

That is pretty pathetic right there, you guys should have had the police get involved due to this jackazz trying to sell stolen equipment. It may have been hard to prove they were your buddies clubs without recipts but at least you would have shown the guy you knew he was stealing clubs, then you should have met him in the parking lot for a little street justice.

Last time I played a few weeks ago it was at a muni and I saw a club just off the green and I asked the two guys I was playing with if it was theirs and they both said no, then one asks, "well what kind of club is it", I tell him it was a cheapo and he replies, "nevermind, if it was a nice one I'd keep it". I was like WTF!!! So I responded, "the only person who is keeping this club, is the owner". Some people.....

Wow. Just wow. I think I'm going to order some shaft address labels right now.

... its obvious what to do when you find one, give it to the marshel or leave it at the club house,every golfer knows this and if not its just common sense.

Apparently, common sense is in short supply these days...

    • Why should SuperSpeed get 3x of Stack's profits? I get the part about SuperSpeed wanting damages sustained as a result of Stack, but I don't get why SuperSpeed feels that they're entitled to both Stack's profits and damages.   Does anyone know/think SuperSpeed actually has a case here?
    • https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603d222df4a6a57df7ef3e29/t/663cdba5d89e3a1848dab8d1/1715264422455/US_DIS_ILND_1_24cv3749_d34676497e293_COMPLAINT_filed_by_SuperSpeed_Golf_LLC_Jury_Demand.pdf The full complaint is there, but  basically, SuperSpeed (SS*) is claiming the Stack System (SS*) Stack System’s [sic] produces inflated metrics later used to, [sic] mislead and deceive consumers. Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.
    • I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.
    • Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again.
