Yesterday, a golf club was stolen off a golf cart outside Beef O'Bradys in Colony. There was a witness and Sheriff's deputies responded. The thief will be charged with burglary (as the cart is considered to similar to a car). The other individual will be charged as an accomplice as he drove the car. Deputies stated this happens all the time, but people think they lost their clubs or someone mistakenly grabbed their clubs. More times than not, they are being stolen!!!

We all enjoy going anywhere we want with our clubs on our carts. Maybe it's time to re-think having them on our carts except when playing golf.

Or lock them

Some times I hope they find my cart and take my clubs, it would be a great new excuse and save me the embarrassment of actually trying to use the dam things on the course. I would be forced to focus on the more important aspects of my golf game, like, beer.

I don't understand why someone would steal someone else's problems.

Steal mine ! I need an excuse to buy new ones.

Based on a neighbor's experience with having golf clubs stolen, apparently the police check with the used sporting goods stores.

Yes! That's what I just found out. I went on FB and found many single clubs for sale!!! Too many single clubs out there in FB Marketplace.

How can you lock single clubs up? Yes, a cover works, but how do you secure a cover to prevent theft?

I don't see any way to lock the clubs. My buddy uses a bicycle lock and loops it thru his bag handle, then to the cart. At least it keeps someone from grabbing the whole bag.

I always take mine off my cart when I'm not playing. If we stop for a beer on the way home from a game, I try to park where I can see my cart.

Unfortunately, that's about all you can do.

When off to lunch after golf lock your clubs with a locking cover. You can buy these at our country club pro shops. Got mine at Cane Garden years ago. Looks similar to this photo:

The country clubs and golf central sell a cover with a long cable that you can attach to your cart and secure with a lock.
