Yikes.  I imagine it's too late for his sponsor to get workable replacements to him.

I wonder how often an airline loses a tour player's clubs.  I figured with recurring customers who (probably) fly first class and drop a lot of money on the product they'd be more careful.

They don't have golf stores or pro shops in Manchester?

Can you imagine the reaction from sponsors if someone won an important trophy with a putter they got in the $39 used bin? ;-)

I would post this in the Carnoustie Open Championship thread ...  but it's gone

I have no idea where it went, either.

I'd look through the backups to get it back, too, but… whatever. It was only about 20 posts long.

And G-Mac withdraws from the qualifier

G-Mac really trying to throw the bad publicity at AirFrance.  Can't say I blame him given his circumstance.

Don't pros often have a back-up set?  I don't know, really--just asking.  I guess even if he did, it might be in Florida and wouldn't get to the UK in time tomorrow.

It seems so bizarre to even "threaten" to WD. Air France doesn't give a shit if he can't play a golf tournament.

Seriously.

And he's claiming that their entire Twitter account has gone silent because he lost his clubs? I don't know about that.

Exactly. And if you don’t qualify, then you’ve got two tournaments as a lifeline that can get you in. There’s no risk to using a backup set. Only reward. So I don’t get it.

Yup can’t say I understand his logic on the withdrawal here. Maybe something else already going on and he found his scapegoat? Just speculation...

My question is why is he flying commercial? Don't they have "Wheels Up" or any number of private carriers where he is located? Where you can load your clubs yourself or see them being loaded? Major screw up!

    • Committing to one brand of ball this year - Snell MTB Prime X, the 5 doz. pack. Like how they perform for me. At $18/doz., can live with cover scuffing. Iron regripping with GolfPrice MCC+4 Teams std. in red/navy. May be retiring Odyssey Dual Force after 30 yrs. Seems like I can't get it to the hole anymore. Kind of light and has lots of toe hang. My reg. group's hounding finally wore me down.    From Callaway preowned - trying out the Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K in double wide (less toe hang) and triple wide (face balanced). Both also noticeably heavier...we shall see.  
    • WOW, it looks like he has been hitting stones with that putter to put all of those nicks into it.  I can't see how a ball would cause many those dings.
    • I'm fighting a knee as well as a foot so I "Feel your pain".  Luckily for me the PT is helping at this time and I am hoping knee surgery is not imminent.  Best of luck to you.
    • I would guess putting grooves in it might make it non-conforming. I am not sure how stringent the USGA is on restoring golf clubs.
    • If PT doesn't work, then all other options (shots) are just temporary bandages of the pain. You may do more damage. Pain is the bodies way of telling you to STOP. Once you get rid of that, you are just now using an already damaged body part and put more stress and strain on it.
