My wife lost her club during one of those night golf events at Saddlebrook Golf course. Her name and address was on the shaft of the club. We can only assume that a maintenance or a fellow Villager found the club and decided to steal it, regardless of it having the owners name displayed.
I lost my 8 iron several years ago. I ordered a new one and two weeks later I found the lost one in the bag of an old timer who played with us on a regualr basis. He had no idea it was in his bag.
