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.

You are far better than me. I know about the trick leaving clubs in line with the cart. But have left them anyway. Maybe once every 10 or 20 rounds (I was up to 200 rounds/year a few years ago, before coming here, now I barely play). I usually walk and carry my bag, so its even more embarrassing.

Hence the word "hidden"

Years ago in Detroit we use to carry pistols in our golf bags at the municipal golf courses. The savages use to come down the embankments during rush hour on the freeways.

I did ask earlier how the poster secured his golf clubs at Palmer. I was interested if I had to up my game. Do I really have to carry again in the Villages????

If you don't have anything positive to say, DO NOT POST. We don't need the negativity.

Sure more guns will solve everything.

No gun required, you need to invest $35 on Kevlar cover, with cable, and a lock. I also asked how bag was secured, and OP has been very vague about security of bag, and where exactly the bag was found from the cart and pro shop. Am confused since two posters are responding. One starting date 2024 the other 2012, each only one post.

Wouldn't taking clubs off the back of a cart (and throwing them in the bushes) seem more suspicious than casually walking up to a cart and just checking the pouches for cash and jewelry?

I have the same 30 years. Another possibility is someone the OP ****ed off this round or a previous round. Maybe played too slowly for the suspect, or hit into them, or blocked the cart path while on the green. After a couple at the 19th hole, the suspect saw his cart and bags and said to themselves, "F this guy!" Snatched the clubs walked a bit toward some bushes and threw them into the shrubbery. Kind of a personalized FAFO lesson.

One thing's for certain, after a full career one learns that people do all kinds of stuff for all kinds of reasons whether justified or not, imaginary slights or not, just evil, or not, for spite or not, etc.

No, but they can solve YOUR problem by saving YOUR derriere. The old adage is absolutely true, it is much better to have a gun and not need it, than to need it and not have a gun. Kinda goes hand-in-hand with the adage representing a mindset that it is better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. Of course, if one doesn't agree with that mindset, it is okay to go ahead and get "Victim" tattooed on one's forehead to facilitate further criminal activities.

In life, we are all victims (or certainly can be). The goal is to be harder to victimize than the next guy. If the next guy flat out volunteers (by behavior or mindset) to be victimized in the place of me or my loved ones, that is entirely up to them.
