Golf bag and golf club security

[GreggC69]

Wanted to get ideas on how to secure bag and clubs while on cart. Understand best security measure is not to leave on cart when not actively using but there are times that is not practical and want to at least install some level of security for the bag to the cart and to make it more difficult that just someone grabbing the clubs from the bag. Suggestions?

Everything is a deterrent AT BEST.

Covers, Cables, Alarms..............MIGHT deter.

Lots of people spend $100 and feel better.

As long as you are not advertising your brand new set in the parking lot, loss is very rare.

Pro shops sell a canvas cover with cable. Amazon has locks. Unit locks clubs /protects access to clubs. Makes theft difficult enough so they go to the next cart.

I’ve skied since I was kid all over New England...never once was any of my equipment stolen. Talk about a wide open racking system. But this is like the 3rd or 4th thread in as many months regarding clubs needing to be secured or others that have actually been stolen. Even in my groups up north or here...I’ve never seen anybody’s clubs lifted. Left in a bunker, on a green..and subsequently picked up, yes. But taken at a starter shack or in a parking lot...nope. Doesn’t mean there arent some outliers but if it’s that much of a concern....throw an audible alarm on the bag. The Amazon recs are a good starting point

Put an Apple AirTag in the bag. You will be notified on your iPhone and can track the bag and clubs. Also, a cover with integrated cable lock sold at the Country Clubs. Both of our carts and bags have this protection but nothing is 100%.

The same with me. Never a ski or a golf club stolen. This is just another TV paranoia. I'm sure it's happened somewhere, sometime ... I'm equally sure, someone has been struck by lightening, twice.

I have an extra one from the Pro shop. New cost is around $80. I'm selling for $50. Send me a note if you're interested!

Golf Central in Brownwood has the heavy canvas cover with the integrated cable for about $40. You will want to use a better lock than the one that comes with it, though. With these, you cover your clubs, and secure them to the framework of your cart. We often go out to eat after golf, and locking down your clubs while parked at a restaurant ain't a bad idea. The locking covers also make it difficult for someone to lift a single club out of your bag.

Use a no name golf bag, don't advertise your Ping , Calaway, or expensive brand name clubs.

[Calisport]

You will need to place your golf bag inside your closed golf car - hidden away. Placing a lock and cable to the back of the golf car will just make the thief take individual clubs. I always park as close to a restaurant or store if I have to leave my golf bag on or in the golf car.

I have a hard-sided OGIO bag used for travel. I’ve travel thousands of miles with this bag. It’ll be easier to steal the whole golf cart before they get your bag and/or clubs

I looked on Amazon as someone suggested and there was a traveling case $107, that locks which would protect your bag and the clubs. Unless there was something else, I did not find something that would address your issue. The problem with this item is setting it up, which is a process, it might be ideal for a traveling situation, but for daily use it's a bit impractical.
I think if you put your mind to it, you can devise a way to lock your bag to your cart and a cover for the bag that will also lock.

Bicycle cable lock.

Go to any Villages Golf Shops and purchase a cover to lockup your clubs, invest in a lock, and get into the habit of taking the time to lock your clubs upon leaving the Golf Course! Then enjoy the day after golfing! PS: put the lock key on your golf cart key ring.

Golf clubs being stolen off the back of a cart is not a problem until it is. Over the past years here in the Villages there have been suges of golf clubs being stolen even in the squares. It's just been quiet lately so everyone is complacent.

In my opinion there really isn't any reason to lug around your clubs when not golfing. But many go out to eat after golfing and that's a problem because thieves look out for these carts and will steal anything that they can get money for. Covers and locks will be a deterent but if they see your clubs and want them, they will take them no matter what you are using to lock them up.

Place a Apple Airtag inside your bag. If it get stolen you'll be able to locate it.

I pull down the cart bag cover and secure that. It hinders single club and whole bag theft. Only takes a couple seconds. I feel that theft problem is too low to qualify for more deterrent than that.

[Micizel]

We use the canvas locking cover. It loops around the basket frame and then loops through the handles on the bag. If we stay to eat after golf we stay parked in the golf cart lot, not the main parking lot. Otherwise, we don’t leave our clubs on the cart.

Go to any Villages Golf Shops and purchase a cover to lockup your clubs, invest in a lock, PS: put the lock key on your golf cart key ring.

Or get a good combination lock so you don’t have to worry about a key. Below is the best combination lock for seniors, no cheaters required. Also, not a fan of AirTags. I would rather prevent the sticks from getting stolen than attempt to use technology to recover them after the fact.

[Pmgokey]

In addition to the canvas cover from golf central (which is great if you get a good lock), I use a bicycle cable lock to lock my bag to the golf cart. Theft may not be a problem, but why take a chance.

[JoMar]

It has been clearly explained to me that upgrading my golf clubs will not happen until my current set is stolen.....plus an air tag in the bag makes that unlikely :)

[BrianL99]

Some where around 3500 rounds of golf played.

Back in the 80's, when classic golf clubs were worth real money, I carried a MacGregor Oil Hardened Eye-O-Matic 945W Driver that was easily worth $1000 and a George Low Wizard 600 putter, worth $2000.

Played golf all over the USA & Ireland.

I have never, not even once, heard of a golf club or a bag of clubs, being stolen.

I'm sure it's happened somewhere though, I guess some folks want to be prepared for any eventuality.

Please contact this man. He has a product that works!

I have two golf carts, my cart is set up all the time for golf ( I drive and ride myself), my wife uses her cart for going to exercise and groceries. We use hers for going other places. My bags when locked stays on my cart!
