  1. 1. Would you turn in the club to the pro shop if you found a lost club on the course?

You say you "usually" call the pro shop. Except when it's a club you'd prefer to keep? Shame on you.

I'm not defending the thief, but you may want to look up the word usually.

I would, for sure, turn it in at the pro shop. I am pretty particular about my clubs, I have exactly the clubs I want, I would have absolutly no reason to keep a wedge that I have no intention of ever using. As far as keeping it and trying to sell it, the $20 bucks I would get for a used wedge isn't worth the effort.

I think I would be more comfortbale with the word "always". "Usually" does not mean always.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I have returned many clubs. I just can't imagine not returning a club, head cover, towel, phone, wallet, etc. If not returned...I consider it stealing.

And this is how any real golfer would look at this topic. It is simply unimaginable to a real player that anyone would have the attitude of DaSportsGuy and not even consider turning a club in. It goes against everything that the game of golf stands for.

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

I have left wedges around the the practice green several times and had them turned into the clubhouse. I have turned in clubs so many times I don't have any idea how many. I did have a brand new cleveland wedge stolen out of my bag years a ago. I have an aquaintance that told his spouse his driver was stolen when he wanted a new one and after I acually broke mine in the trunk hinge one time used that excuse to get another new driver.

See, now we're getting it. Taking lost headcovers and golf towels is stealing. Lying to the wife about clubs being stolen in order to buy new ones is all part of a healthy and successful marriage.

Voted "Yes". It goes against the spirit of the game and makes you look really, really bad.

I like the post that said, "Is your integrity worth a golf club?" That post is spot on.

I was once at the range practicing for hours and finished up. Went in the clubhouse to get a sandwich, ate it, got in my car and drove home. A few hours later I get a call from the proshop that I left my entire bag on the range. They found my card in the bag, how cool.

So what you're really saying is that you're honest and have personal integrity

only to the degree that it isn't something you want or don't feel it is worth your trouble? Interesting ......

Of course I voted Yes........

I haven't left a club laying around in a few years, since I had my favorite 56 laying beside a par 3 and never saw it again.......So now I'm very funny about counting my clubs before I move on.

I have found a few wedges laying beside greens this year, and I typically pick them up and put them seperate from my clubs, typically I'll pop it in my putter well, and put my putter in the bag. 9 out of 10 times, within 2 holes, the owners comes back looking for it, and as soon as I see someone coming backwards on the course, that's always the guy looking for his club. I'll wave at them and get their attention and give it back to them. I've never actually made it all the way through the round and had to turn one in, they've always gotten the club beforehand.

I was walking one time, and a group came up to ask me if I saw one guy's wedge a few holes back. I didn't see it, so I said No, and they kind of gave me a funny look and grumbled and moved on. 2 minutes later the other 2 in their group came up and asked me the same question in a more accusing manner than an inquisitive manner. I told them to call the pro shop and see if it was turned in, because I hadn't seen any clubs laying around. The guys were actually rude towards me, like it was my fault I hadn't picked up the wedge, or that I was trying to steal a wedge. Come to find out, it was a cheap Acuity 56 degree........ I was carrying CG14's, and these guys were almost accusing me of stealing a cheap wedge.

I once turned in a wedding ring I found in the men's bathroom on the course. The guys wife was so happy she gave me the money she was going to spend to buy her hubby a new one. I tried to turn it down, but she would have non of it. I felt guilty, but It gave me the extra money to finish paying off my wife's wedding ring so I thought it turned out to be a big blessing.

My swing thoughts:

- Negative thinking hurts more than negative swinging.
- I let my swing balance me.
- Full extension back and through to the target. - I swing under not around my body. - My club must not twist in my swing. - Keep a soft left knee

I am not defending their actions but at least they have the guts to admit it. There will be more on this forum that are guilty

Technically, I'm honest to the extent that it gets me in trouble (Gotta learn the 'Keep my mouth shut' and the 'Delicate evasion' skills, someday). So, I'd turn any club I found back to the Pro Shop if there wasn't any contact information... kinda would find it odd to find contact information on a random wedge, anyway.

That said, I can't give myself much credit for it -- I'm a lefty. Most wedges I'd find I couldn't use, anyway. :D

(On the other hand, I left a wedge once that was returned to the PS. Wonder if it would've been the same if it were a righty. *hah*)

Really weird situation... found a putter in the woods propped up against a tree. Pretty much brand new. Wasn't near the green or anything, probably around 200+yds away. Looked like it may have been used once or twice and the course was dead since it started to rain. Didn't exactly feel comfortable handing it into the proshop--these guys were pretty skeevy. But nonetheless did, and hopefully the owner got their new putter back.

Also, a friend of mine had his putter stolen out of his bag from their maintenance shop at work on the golf course.

I have returned a bunch of clubs and being as forgetful as i am I usually forget a club a week on a hole and I've always gotten them back. Its rare around here to have a club stolen... That's why I love living in Canada, the 9 month winters kind of suck though.

    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
