foundling

another possible scenario is that it was stolen, but in a strange twist of fate the player who stole it broke it and therefore decided to minimise his later risk by hiding it and leaving it...

obviously clutching at straws but there aren't many situations that seem to fit!
 
Went back today. Head gone , headcover gone , shaft left there, went into shop , they seemed disinterested , have to remain a mystery .

plot thickens!!!

although the bits that have gone are exactly those that you would 'take' if you were getting it reshafted.

can't leave it like this though - we need Hercule, Sherlock and Colombo on this quickly :)
 
Perhaps the shaft was broken when a golfer battered his partner to death and then hid the murder weapon in the ditch? Did you check the deep rough for a body?

That's about the best theory so far , shame my prints are now on it after having a butchers at it
 
Hmmm... the curious incident of the driver in the ditch.

Maybe we shouldn't be surprised given that "covert" means hidden or undercover.

Here's my theory.

I reckon the owner leant the club to his son or mate to try out. Son/mate hits a shocker and forgetting himself smashes club on ground breaking shaft. :o

What to do? Hide the evidence and pretend you lost it on the course. Less shame in that and insurance will cover a new one.

Club was subsequently found by someone else who took it to get it re-shafted.
