LOL. So true!

They've been stolen at stores like Walmart

100,000 golf carts with golf clubs and very, very rarely are any stolen. Someone else posted that most clubs are not worth stealing, which is true and if stolen is a great excuse for new clubs. The Villages and retirement are not the places for worry, relax and deal with things that happen rather than little things that might happen.

We use a vibration alarm on out cart. It self installs in seconds and costs only $20. It goes off with just the slightest touch. Amazon.com

I use clubs with wooden shafts, so they NEVER get stolen.

Well, a compassionate thief might LEAVE you a club, as my father used to say to me.

I've got left handed clubs no problem

That would be nice. Then maybe my drives would go over 80 yards.

I also have an Apple Air-Tag hidden in my golf cart and in my bag...

MrChip72 04-10-2024 12:10 AM

I should probably just put a sign on mine that they're left-handed clubs which makes them pretty worthless for pawning them.

Recently added "security hood"
 
A neighbor recently had clubs - bag and all - stolen at Colony Plaza where we shop a lot. I don't have expensive clubs but have had them re-gripped. I recently purchased a security cover at one of the country club stores. It is heavy canvas and fits over the clubs and has a cable for attaching to the card (you need to purchase a lock of your choice). Not theft proof but a good deterrent. Cost $89. I did search on the internet and couldn't find anything else.

I would only lock A a very expensive bag and set of clubs and also if possilbe a cover to hide the clubs, there are thieves that steal on the fly . drive grab and run.
