“Lost and Found”

Kirsch

I have to vent about this because it’s shocking to me when things left on the golf course aren’t turned in. Over the weekend I was testing out a few putters while playing a round….decided after the 6th hole the blade wasn’t for me so I stuck in in the basket of the cart (lesson learned).

I get to my car after the round and realize the putter is gone. I immediately drive backwards and ask the 6 foursomes behind me….Nothing…..the responses I got were great….”a fucking putter? How’d you lose that?!”

This wasn’t a fancy putter. It wasn’t a Scotty or Lamb. It’s a damn Odyssey #1 wide with the Buck Club baby blue script cover (which I loved).

Earlier this year I left a Bushnell Pro XE in the cart….immediately went back after packing up the car and nothing….

Im a pretty organized guy, but we all have left things I’m sure. Yes I know it’s my fault for putting a putter in the basket of the cart or not checking that I have my rangefinder before packing up…I’ve learned my lesson. My question is; where have all the good people gone? What happened to simple values of turning something in that isn’t yours? Anything I find I turn in…I’ve even called a guy who had his cell number on his range finder that I found on top of a cart. Obviously the karma of being a normal human being isn’t coming back my way when losing things on the course :-(

Hopefully this putter shows up back at the clubhouse and if not, I hope it ends up in the turd cutter of whoever took it. Thanks for letting me rant. I will update if this changes!

I once had my range finder fall out of the cart one hole behind me. I knew it fell out because I use it on every hole. I drove back to the last hole where I used it. It wasn’t there. I asked the twosome behind me if they had seen it. They said they didn’t but I could tell they had it given the looks they gave me. I went to my bag and grabbed $100 and said they could have this if they allowed me to search their bags. I immediately got a no so I knew exactly where it was. It pissed me off the rest of the round and I gave them stares after each shot. Some people just suck about things like this.

dphatt I would have ripped there bags off and find it. If they did have it I would have snapped an iron shaft right on there head. Last time I checked that is theft and they must be held accountable.

dphatt wow...you're a better man than me. I wouldn't have let that fly but then again, especially these days, you have to be so careful what you do and/or say to someone...

PaulAllenPA then you’re just as bad as they are. To be fair l, we already all knew that.

Noyes26 you must be a Michigan or Ohio State fan the way you are talking to me. Not sure what I did to upset you but you need to take a chill pill.

So lame. I make it a point to pick things up and try and get the group in front of me’s attention if I find something. Failing that, I always take it to the pro shop after my round. I just don’t understand some people.

PaulAllenPA I collect trolls like you.

I see members pick stuff up then hand it in two weeks later when the realize it isn't theirs. By that point I have told the other people I haven't seen it then have to call them 2 weeks later when it comes in.
