2015

Joe had a set of well-loved and well-travelled clubs in an older bag. In the bag were balls, tees, hats and various odds and sods accumulated over the years. Having finished his round, Joe left the clubs near the pro shop at Collier Park, to make for an easy escape after a couple of drinks. 

Having had a couple, he proceeded to the place and discovered the clubs did not seem to be where he had left them. He searched around and as you do when you can’t find anything – searched his memory to ensure he had not got confused. After checking with whoever was driving that they had not picked up the clubs – he went into the clubhouse and enquired if for any reason they had been handed in. 

Somewhat bemused by this situation – JB reached the conclusion that his not so expensive clubs had been pinched. He again  approached the Pro shop and asked if they had CCTV.  They told him they did and would review it later and advise whether there was any footage of interest. He left his details and proceeded to go home. On the journey home Collier called to advise there was no vision. Astonished that thieves wold seek such modest booty – JB resigned himself to the fact they had gone. 

Later that night he received another call with the joyous news the clubs had been recovered. A patron seeking hire clubs had been advised that they were at the front of the pro-shop. Obviously not a veteran – the patron has seen Joe’s clubs and had taken them out (on a cart) and had played a round of golf without any inkling that Hire Clubs do not usually look like those nor do they contain all the items in the bag.

 When he retrieved his precious and well used set of clubs the following Saturday – JB was advised by the Pro that this was the first time he had ever heard of this happening. And no – JB did not receive the fee charged for the clubs used by the novice hirer
