How is it theft by deceit if I tell them I returned it but they give it to me anyway ?

Until you tell them it's not your property and they still offer it to you.

It seems like you're searching for someone to validate what you know isn't right.

I know whats right. I didnt once ever say that I was going to go in there and take it without telling them I returned it but I did say quite a few times that I wasnt going to do that. Not really looking for someone to validate whats right, just discussion. It would be cool if they gave it to me

I'm incredibly disappointed in anyone who think that taking the club under any circumstances is the proper thing to do.

It doesn't sound like your intentions were made clear earlier when you returned the first one - why did they re-order the one with the right shaft if you didn't want it? If you did still want it at the time, then they ordered it and so far as I can tell you'd be on the hook to pay them for it. It's not cool to change your mind after they place an order for you.

If you told them at the time you returned the first not to order it again, remind them that they weren't supposed to re-order it and that you got your money back so that wedge is theirs (and what THEY do with it is up to them - maybe one of the guys there will buy it at cost or something, or they can return it for credit, or you never know).

"They're a multi-million dollar company" doesn't matter for squat. Stop rationalizing theft. You're a golfer: do the honorable, fair, honest thing. There's no "let's see what he says" in this - YOU must bring it upon yourself to do the right thing, not "see what you can get away with" or something.

They didn't re-order it, he just returned it. The employee that he returned it too made the stupid mistake of not logging it in the inventory. Now they have a club just sitting there that still "belongs" to him because they didn't log it in the inventory when it was returned. I don't really know how that could be possible because he probably had to give them a receipt to get it back.

If it was logged in the inventory, the club would probably have been returned to where Dick's got it from. But since it wasn't, it's sitting there and they think he hasn't picked it up.

No one on here said it was the right thing to do. But, it's likely not illegal if he takes it, since there is no record of it belonging to Dick's.

well what happened was I got the club and it had the wrong shaft. I returned it to them and they refunded me. Its the same club I returned to them, I told them not to order me another one because it took so long. Anyway I called them and told them I was refunded for it and I wasnt going to pick it up. The kid was just like oh ok, yea its just been sitting here. I was just a little surpised to hear a voicemail from the kid telling me that I could have it.

Obviously, it's not the "right" thing to do, but they are offering it to you.

Sounds like they asked him what the deal was. A simple, "I returned it and already got my money back" should take care of things.

If you want to steal, just go into a golf store, pick out a club, and run out the door. There's no need for all this cutesy "is he going to give it to me? they don't carry mizuno", etc., etc. Just grab it and run. Don't be a halfassed thief, be the real thing.

lol, i wouldnt have the guts nor be stupid enough to take the club in the first place by lying to him. That would be very stupid. For me to take it, I would probably have to have the manager of that section tell me I could have it.

What sort of discussion?

You tell them it's not yours and politely thank them. End of discussion. Can't see how getting something that's not yours is "cool".

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

Yeah-doesn't seem to matter how many people point this out, he clearly wants someone to validate the decision to "accept" the club because Dick's couldn't possibly know what to do with it. If he calls them and says "it's not mine, I returned it, and I got my money back" and they still insist they can't do anything with the club, then by all means he should take it off their stupid hands. But I doubt it would go down that way.

That was the situation I was insisting on in the first place when I created this thread. That it would be cool if they insisted on me taking it because its just laying around or they have no use for it but I didnt know they sold mizuno clubs, which in fact they do on their website. I wasnt for a second not going to call them and tell them I returned it and got refunded. Going back and reading it, it does seem like I wasnt going to tell them I returned it. Typing messages on the internet can be very different than talking and messages dont always come across to the reader the right way. Anyway sorry for the confusion, lets move on

No problem. If that was your intent all along then I think you're fine.

Call the MANAGER and let him know what is going on.

I for one have enough bad karma following me around to share with anyone that wants some, so my decision would be easy. A very similar thing happened to me a while back at Joe's, I was looking for a set of clubs and as a beginner focused in on the Adams over sized irons and hybrid sets, our Joe's (which is now gone) had a set that was their last one, the manager made me a good deal and boxed them up, when I got home and unboxed them it had an extra Idea 4 hybrid, I called the manager back and told him I would drop it off the next day, he said it must have been part of a broken up set or a return and he couldnt sell it by itself so to just keep it, cool, I put it in my wifes bag. As a side note I love the Adams stuff.

Did it really take four pages of comments to get the OP to figure out the right thing was to call and tell them he got his money back? As for those telling him to go pick it up when it clearly didn't belong to him, I don't think you comprehend the spirit of golf.

If you are asking us if your getting a club for free without paying for it because of their Dick's sporting store's mistake what should you do?

1) I have to ask you what would you do If you had 15 clubs and you just won the club championship and no one knows about it except yourself, what would you do?

2) If the ball moved on the putting green and no one saw it except you and you need this one stroke to make it pass Q school after your 3rd try, what would you do?

There is only one simple answer between right and wrong.

Titleist 910 D2 9.5 Driver
Titleist 910 F15 & 21 degree fairway wood
Titleist 910 hybrid 24 degree
Mizuno Mp33 5 - PW
52/1056/1160/5

"Yonex ADX Blade putter, odyssey two ball blade putter, both  33"

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?
