Lost and found clubs

[London mike 61]

A couple of years ago I was on a work society outing and lost one of my irons on the course due to taking two clubs from the bag around one of the greens and left my 9 iron on the ground. When we finished the day it was late and the pro shop was closed so next day and for a couple of weeks after I phoned up to see if it had been handed in but alas no. I know this sort of thing happens from time to time and they are usually handed into the pro shop. But if they remain unclaimed does anyone know what happens to them ? Are they sold off or just dumped in the skip?

Does anyone know what happens at their club

We will keep them for a couple of months then we will put a notice up giving people a week or so to reclaim what's there after that date they get thrown out. Although this is mainly shoes and clothing, not sure what they do with clubs.

Perhaps locking the stable door after the horse has bolted, but if you take say a wedge and putter from your bag around the green, lay your wedge over the flagstick on the green whilst putting, that way when you replace the flag, you lift the wedge.

What do you do if you have thinned your wedge and thrown it into the hedge? then you putt.. how do you remember to go back to the hedge?

Probably best to leave it there:thup:

Don't aim at the hedge

I lost a pitching wedge in the summer after taking the putter and the wedge to review a shot, no one ever handed it. Thieving B%*!$*&s, what do people do with the these clubs - sell them on ebay?

I did keep an eye on ebay and gumtree to see if the club came up for sale- no joy. I had buy a new wedge at great expense, that taught me a lesson.

Winner! throw the flag like a Javelin I assume oh wise one?

No....carefully climb into the same bush that you threw your wedge into and carefully lay the flagstick across it so you don't forget it

You could putt out with your willy hanging out, this will teach you not to blade your wedge and also remind you to get your club from said hedge.
Two birds one stone ...... happy days.

I always hand lost clubs in to the pro shop and would hope others would do the same for me but sadly from bitter experience its rarely the case.
