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.
Chain him to the driving range and use his face as the tee. Practice as per normal with your heaviest club.

You may want to look into apple air tags. 4 of them for $100. I put 1 in my car, the golf cart, golf bag, and the last one in my computer bag. You can track them from your phone or computer.

No thanks. I'd rather "feel important"...

And I lock up my clubs...

Topgun 1776: if you watch any news reports this is happening all over the country. It’s a new way of shopping apparently. The economy is only going to get worse.

I have the Apple Airtag on my my cart and in my golf bag. It's the least you can do to help recover your property.

Buy the cover that has a locking mechanism. I have one and it secures the clubs and the bag quite well to the cart structure.

Your opinion is "negative".

I go out golfing with groups of 12 or more members, and after the games, we go out for breakfast or lunch. No time to return home and meet afterward.. It looks like you are one of those morning loners that is injected into an organized group with an open spot, but hey, no problem!

For those of you that are hoping to have some of your clubs disappear-I could use a 3 hybrid-just let me know a location of where and when your cart might be unattended. Preferably a location without security cameras. I'm happy to help out.

One Apple air tag $29! Just put it in the bottom of the bag. Good for a year. Replace the button battery. Sure don't to lose my bag full of new Pings. Driver $600+
