Things people leave laying around

[profsmitty]

I guess I have found my share of stuff that people have lost on the course but last week was a first. I found a whole set of clubs. Apparently someone was about to load them in the trunk when he had a "senior moment" and left them behind. I took them to the clubhouse and I assume he must have eventually claimed them.

 

What's the strangest thing(s) you have found on the course?

I work at a driving range, came to work one day and saw a set of clubs on the range and nobody around them. Thought they were in the bathroom or something but at the end of my 6 hour shift they were still there. This was 2 years ago and the clubs are still in our lost and found!!!!!!!!!

My buddy lost his driver on the course. He hit on drive on the 12th, turn to pet a kitty cat and rested his club near a bush, Two holes later when he noticed he didnt have his driver, we went back to get it. Low and behold we never found it. We asked all the groups behind us if they saw it and no one fessed up. BAM it was gone. We think someone in the houses near by saw it a and took it. But we will never know. I still rib him about it today.

Did you take this as a sign of total frustration with golf on the part of the owner?

We once found a Slazenger Black Panther driver, snapped in half and then fashioned into a crucifix with the help of a bit of twine/shoelace stuck in the ground in the rough to the right of the 6th fairway.

I came upon the same thing at a golf course driving range in York PA. a few winters ago. An entire bag that was covered in a big frost from the freezing night temps. The Asst. Pro working the counter just about spit out his coffee laughing!

I bet these guys would rather file an insurance theft claim than admit they couldn't remember where they'd left the things.

A few years ago a lady golfing friend of ours told me that she lost her gold necklace on the course. She said it had value and had sentimental value. Well I said I would keep an eye out for it, but knew on our busy course, it must be long gone. The next morning I played 18 and coming up the 17th I saw a shinny reflection in the middle of the fairway. I went over and dang, there it was a beautiful gold necklace and pendant. Yes the fairway mower had done some damage, but it was still intact with a severed chain. She couldn’t believe I found it, and neither could I.

All in one day? LOL

 

Shoes and trousers laid neatly beside the 14th tee. Someone may have had a Reggie Perrin moment and walked into the sea.

I do now, thanks to Google. But do you know who Herb Tarlek is?

[scotto69]

1500 dollar set of Calloway clubs left by a drunk Irish guy. Stupid rich kid I worked with immediately suggested stealing them since we were the last people there.

 

Told him "You suck" and locked them in the starter room. God I hate thieves.

This goes back 30+ years to when I was playing golf on my high school team. The course was close to a bar/nightclub area. We were playing our normal practice nine after school. We were on the 7th hole which at that time was a 225-250 yard par 4 (yep). One of the seniors shanked his tee shot 45 degrees to the right into a forested area, and decided to go on down to start looking for it. I had just hit my tee shot (thankfully not a second later or I might have decapitated him) when we heard a scream from the woods. "Rubbers!!!!" he yelled. Well, for a foursome of high school age kids this was golden. Sure enough, we ran to where he was and found several coin operated machines that had been broken into. They took the money - but thankfully left the product. And being the nice upstanding generous kids we were, we left 4 calling cards on the green for the rival high school group playing behind us.

uhhhhh i probably cannot elaborate too much on this for certain reasons....... but, found a bag of weed in the rough, and a pipe just sitting on a tee marker (and no i dont mean the grandpa kind of pipe lol)

[goondawg]

Don't believe that one made it to the states unlike the truly believable "The Prisoner" :)

I'm supposing this is other than the myriad iron covers and towels... Found a wedding ring on a teebox. Following a really slow group, my playing partner and I picked up most of their wedges and short irons -- at least 5 clubs. Finally got tired of carrying them all and left them near a teebox bench as we were walking and carrying that day. When the clowns roared back in a cart, we told them where to find the clubs.

[brad_polish_golfer]

found a few things, vokey wedge left by the side of the green, a mans wallet who later asked for it and then he bought me lunch, a prov1 looked brand new in the hole, and lots of headcovers and towels.

The Prisoner was a good show. If he would have faked his own death I'm sure he could have got off of that island.

 

 

We want information.

 

Information!

Well, it's not a piece of property, but I still "found" something: I worked at a course after finishing high-school and as I was driving into the property one morning to open up, I saw this guy, mid 60's I'd say, walking down the 6th fairway in nothing but his underwear pulling his cart playing golf! I $h!t you not. I got to the proshop and mentioned to the super that there's something that he might need to see on the 6th fairway. He thought I meant that there might be some damage to the course or a sprinkler that was broken. So, he gets in his Cushman and ROARS toward the 6th fairway! He finally gets back to the proshop, as red as a beet, laughing his Word not allowed off! He said the guy had his clothes stowed in his golfbag and just started to take them off as it started warming up! That's something I'll remember for a loooong time, unfortunately!
