Hello-

While walking my dog along Lake Sumter Landing this past weekend, I saw a site sitting in the rear of a parked and "unattended" golf cart that I thought I'd never see again. I saw a complete set ( irons, woods, wedge, putters, drivers ) of an authentic 2021 Bentley Golf Complete Set and the bag also appeared to be an authentic Bentley. For those who don't play golf, this golf set retails for about 9K and the owner was nowhere in site and the kart was parked in the rear, away from pedestrian traffic. As far as I could tell, the set appeared authentic and not a cheap China copy. Additionally, the key was left in the ignition of the cart.

Just wondering why that some people when they move to The Villages, just completely forget about common sense and truly believe they live in a bubble and that dishonesty and crime don't occur inside the bubble. Or maybe I'm just very naïve and didn't realize that some people are super wealthy and just don't care. Either way, that golfer lost his mind.

Must have been a sight for sore eyes at that site. Someone who pays $9K for a set of golf clubs probably doesn't care if they are stolen. Buy more. Or maybe they were knock-offs. Or maybe he was hiding, waiting to shoot a would-be thief.

My husband left his bag with starter so he could go to bathroom, someone came up, told starter, he was given permission to test out $1200 putter, husband came back, asked starter where putter was, starter pointed to golfer who was starting to drive away, stopped him, got putter back, close call. Be careful folks.

This is probably off topic.

I tried golf when I first came to TV, it wasn’t for me. The question I have is can a $1200 putter really improve someone’s putting? I play piano and will a $25,000 Steinway make me play the piano better ? NO Way it’s the pianist not the instrument. So I’m guessing it’s the golfer not the club that makes the golfer better at putting.

I was thinking the same thing.

Probably wanting someone to steal it for insurance money? Or money not factor to him.

So, let the thief go so he can steal on another day?

No need to guess. It is absolutely true that expensive equipment will not create a good golfer.

Thanks for confirming that!
