Lost property

[The Gentleman]

Sorry if this has been discussed to death but I think I just paid £15 on ebay for my TM head cover that I lost on course (not my own club and mentioning no names) a month ago.

Do you always hand in 'stuff' that you find during your round to the pro shop?

I do and would never think it ok to play finders keepers with fellow golfers equipment.

I always hand stuff in from clubs to iron covers,

I have lost clubs on the course a few time and have always got them back although one did take 3 months because it was picked up by my PP who put it in her bag and forget about it.

So wrong. Apart from sticking things on ebay, I can't imagine these people have the Kahunas to start wearing your jacket for fear of you spotting them in it and challenging/battering them.

I'll always hand something in, even if its an iron cover....
It's sad that it happens but many people are turning to the dark side and the "finders-keepers" mentality is growing.

By the time they've paid their fees they've made a dozen or so quid.....is it really worth it..?

I have found gps, clothing, clubs, covers always handed in! The only thing I won't hand in, is a brand new (1hit) pro v1!

Ive found phones, clubs etc..all the usual stuff, but I may leave an iron cover where it is....

Yes same here always hand things in, most expensive thing I handed in so far was a phone.

Id like to think if I lost something someone would hand it in so I hand them in to

many threads on this, do a search.

If you seriously thought it was YOUR lost headcover why did you buy it?

I left a rangefinder on a tee & never got it back. Some people on here were trying to tell me it wasn't stolen!

The seller wasn't going to give it to me for free. If it was mine, i believe in karma and the seller will get his comeuppance (hopefully a 10 on the 18th of his club comp!). I may be a man of principles but my hybrid looked naked without its head cover.

And proving that it was yours in he first place would be more than a tad tricky....

by enlarge Ive got things ive dropped handed back.

dropped my scotty head cover a few times and always, got it back. Mizuno irons covers have been dropped and handed in.

Only thing that wasn't was a brand new GG gortex hat, never got the chance to wear it

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Always hand stuff in don't I Ads749r!

Do unto others and all that and would hope if I left something out there people would hand it in. No always the case but you have to try and keep your faith in fellow golfers being decent sorts

 

[JohnnyDee]

Same here. Over the years I've found everything from head covers to clubs and recently a GPS device. Will always hand them in. Perhaps it brings good karma as in the past I've left a few wedges beside bunkers etc. but have always had them returned to me.

You'd need to be a bit of a git not to I'd say.

I have even handed in a lost Pro V (happened to be the Asst Pro's with his logo on that I found in the cabbage, apparently he'd 'given some to a junior' - likely story!).

 

[Lord Tyrion]

No brainer. Pretty unpleasant type of person that doesn't hand in found items.

 

[SatchFan]

In the last few months I have found a 9 iron, two 8 irons, a putter and a pair of designer sunglasses, all which went straight back to the pro shop. Felt sorry for a guy a couple of weeks ago who was circling the course in a buggy searching for his rangefinder. Felt like saying "Try Ebay in a few days time" but it didn't seem appropriate at the time.

 

[drew83]

Would never even consider keeping anything found. As a bit of an OCD freak nothing gets forgotten/lost but should it ever happen I would be fuming if it didn't get handed in.

 

[Big_G]

Have always handed in anything found, have lost my putter headcover too many times to mention, but someone has always handed it in.

Had an odd experience playing away in a mixed open last year.

A third of the way round, one of my PPs noticed he didn't have his sandwedge in the bag. Concluding that he must have left it on the practice area he decided to pop into the pro-shop as we went past it after the 9th to see if anyone had handed it in.

The good news was, it was there, but he was quite suprised to find it for sale in the shops "bargain bin"!!!!
