I can't think what could be stolen from someone on the golf course and how that would happen. I can't think of anything else that could be stolen from an executive course. There is nothing to be stolen from the starter shack and people are with their carts and equipment on the course.

This is a very safe place with little crime compared to the rest of the country. Not zero crime but very low crime. If you had read this forum as long as many of us had, you would see how many people find lost clubs and fitbits and jewelry and TURN THEM IN. Many times golf clubs, especially short irons and putters are shoved into the other bag by mistake. They are turned into the starter shack or turned into lost and found later. OR when they are discovered in the golf bag of the person sharing the cart.

Every golfer I know has several putters and wouldn't need to steal someone elses. I have had my favorite putter for many years. Sometimes it works like a charm and sometimes I wish someone would steal it.

My husband plays with PRO V1s. He uses them for one round or a round and a half. He had a basket in the back of his cart with several dozen of the used balls. Ha played Evans Prairie and the basket and balls were gone. People do steal in TV.

Where was the cart when they were stolen?
BTW if he used a ball for a full round......it was shot anyway. Really?

You know I never gave up on this simple post today and finally got it just now. Bravo :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl: Wish I thought of it!

HELLLLOOOOOO Jerry! You are a pip! I'm just a confused old man.

Parked on the side with the other carts. Yes, he uses a ball for 18 to 27 holes. I would use a a ball until I lostit. Which is less than 27 holes. I do not use PRO V1s.

I hope that whoever picked up 2 putters today, Monday May 21 around 12:30pm at the Turtle Mound practice green is enjoying them. It is extremely disappointing to live in the “friendliest” home town and have personal property stolen while you are 10 feet away practicing.

If anyone knows the man with a green golf club holder that was at the practice green today, let him know he is a disappointment to humanity.

I apologize for the people who are calling you a liar...and saying that you didn't really have your putters stolen. :oops:

I hope the thief has a change of heart...and turns them in. :thumbup:

Good luck. :ho:

I can see if something is left unattended it might tempt some crummy person.. I lock my clubs to my cart with a cover too when I am going to have lunch. Those balls are desirable and I wouldn't let them lie around for easy pickings, but I still say that for the most part this is a safe place to live and few people want another's putter.

There was a towel covering the basket. Someone was going cart to cart looking to steal. The balls were used. The new ones were locked up.
