I wonder how many of you have regularly experienced the following: You're playing golf and someone playing ahead of you will drive up the fairway to you and ask, "Did you find a cell phone?"  I cannot believe how many people lose their cell phone on a golf course!  Is this just my experience?

I swear to God, iCloud and Google Cloud and all the clouds must take a hit when he plays, cell towers willing.

I've never had anyone ask me that.

Not only is Big Brother watching, so are all his relatives. Anonymity is nearly impossible in this day and age.

Never had anyone ask me about a missing phone, anywhere. However, I have found a few, and have left mine behind at some business a couple of times.

I have had it happen a couple times the last few years.  I did find one out there and the guy came around for it.

I also had a guy with a voice box lose his " microphone".  We all knew the guy, he comes driving up pointing to his throat and putting his his hands in the air.  He did find it on a hole somewhere.

My course is unique...found false teeth, uppers only, in the lost and found box about 5 years ago.
