a moment of generosity?

or Senior Brain Fart........got a wild hair and took a bag of clubs to a local veterans store. Wilson Driver, Big Bertha 3w, Orlimar Driver (Hip Ti) with brand new grip, Ben Hogan Speed slots 1,4,5,7 woods (Laminated Maple), and a Ben Hogan Tour Bag (That is the name, not the style) - more like a Sunday Bag. Hope someone gets some good use out of them.

Very generous of you, and if the Veterans' store is what I think it is, you picked a good cause to support.

not sure what group. They have several large trucks in the back. Shoppers are mostly local Latinos and Asian, and me. II think it is Vietnam Vets, but would have to look.

There are people that make a job out of eBay. Your clubs might end up sold online.

I'd be surprised if some random want to be golfer comes and buys them.  But on the other hand I see nothing wrong with what you did. Although you didn't say, you probably don't use them anymore and needed to de-clutter.

Is there a national veterans organization where we can donate clubs?

Phone directory?  I have not really looked into it, but names such as DAV, VFW. or Google would give you insight.

Yes, de-clutter was a factor.  I did use them from time to time,many picked up individually from the same veterans store, others on Ebay.  I think there were also a couple of irons in the bunch, Mcgregor VSP V-foil, Hogan edge 3 iron (cut down - no grip). I kept my Palmer Persimmon though, but won't game it although it is fairly easy to hit. It is in nearly pristine condition and will just keep for posterity. I would bet that these will be sold as a set in the bag (at least as far as the Hogan woods). Otherwise, normal prices are $6 or $7 per club, the bag would probably go for $10 or so. (if it even makes it inside the store.  I've taken things there before and never saw them especially if the truck un-loaders take a fancy to something.)

I work with an organization around me to take Wounded Warriors to golf tourney's called Salute Military Golf Association (SMGA), which provides golf clubs, clinics, and other things to Wounded Warriors.  I know they take donated clubs, but I think they have to be under 5 years old.
