That is pretty pathetic right there, you guys should have had the police get involved due to this jackazz trying to sell stolen equipment. It may have been hard to prove they were your buddies clubs without recipts but at least you would have shown the guy you knew he was stealing clubs, then you should have met him in the parking lot for a little street justice.
Last time I played a few weeks ago it was at a muni and I saw a club just off the green and I asked the two guys I was playing with if it was theirs and they both said no, then one asks, "well what kind of club is it", I tell him it was a cheapo and he replies, "nevermind, if it was a nice one I'd keep it". I was like WTF!!! So I responded, "the only person who is keeping this club, is the owner". Some people.....
