Stop drinking at the driving range.

50 times you have forgotten a club on the course? Not once in more than 50 years has any of our eleven golfing family left a club.

Easy system always leave extra clubs on edge of green in direct line of cart or bag. Our second lesson after golf etiquette from my dad at age 6.

How far was the bag and clubs from where the cart was parked while you were in the golf shop?

Was anything missing?

It seems odd that someone would steal a bag and clubs and then just throw them in the bushes.

Not that strange. Having spent a career in law enforcement one sees many things that don't make sense. Maybe the person or persons weren't interested in the clubs or the bag but maybe in the pockets of the bag ie money or jewelry.

Leave your keys and cell phone. This is the epitome of laziness IMHO.

Seems normal to me. I have seen guys leave a full bag and go and have dinner in one of the squares. This is the epitome of laziness IMHO.

They did it for spite.

maybe you had a bad day at the range and tossed away your clubs.

Second this. I have 30 years in law enforcement and people often leave money, watches, phones etc… in golf bags. Probably just looking for quick items and not interested/knowledgeable in dealing with clubs

How much was the reward ?

Clarification, not true.

A couple years ago, a lady lost thousands and thousands of dollars of jewelry out of her golf bag while parked at Mallory.

(may have lost something, but not buying the value put on the jewelry)

:beer3:

It says “After the end of each month all remaining items
will be donated to a local charitable organization
as designated by the District.”

I would hope they would keep it for at least 30 days. The way it is written, something could arrive on July 28 and be donated on August 1.

You've lead a blessed life. You might have a different view had you played some of the courses I have over the past 60 years.

In Stockton, CA, Van Buskirk was a public course alongside a Section 8 housing project. There was a period of time in the 1970's when several denizens of the project committed armed robberies of players on the course. The local joke was for one player to ask another if he wanted a 7 iron or a Winchester for the next shot.

The last known players who were robbed on the course were a 64 year old couple in 1994. Eventually, the city of Stockton closed the course. One appropriate proposal was to turn it into a public campground for Stockton's homeless, of which it has a plethora. Another proposal was to make it a public park--which would serve the same purpose.

It's been the same at the Gleneagles course in San Francisco. This course borders the infamous Geneva Ave. public housing project. In one incident in 1995, three teenagers robbed a foursome at gunpoint, firing 3 shots into the ground to get the players full attention. Since that incident, I never played the course without having a gun in my bag.

The course, which is a genuine gem the city owns and leases to an operator, may not have long to worry about it as the city has cut off the public water supply.
