I can't think what could be stolen from someone on the golf course and how that would happen. I can't think of anything else that could be stolen from an executive course. There is nothing to be stolen from the starter shack and people are with their carts and equipment on the course.

This is a very safe place with little crime compared to the rest of the country. Not zero crime but very low crime. If you had read this forum as long as many of us had, you would see how many people find lost clubs and fitbits and jewelry and TURN THEM IN. Many times golf clubs, especially short irons and putters are shoved into the other bag by mistake. They are turned into the starter shack or turned into lost and found later. OR when they are discovered in the golf bag of the person sharing the cart.

Every golfer I know has several putters and wouldn't need to steal someone elses. I have had my favorite putter for many years. Sometimes it works like a charm and sometimes I wish someone would steal it.
