It's a bad feeling when you get home and your missing a new SM5 wedge. I will have my fingers crossed , hope someone turns it in.

Sorry for your loss, Chris... I've not experienced that feeling yet, but I'm sure it is a terrible feeling. I have faith in humanity... I think you'll get it back.
Best wishes...

hopefully you had a good person playing behind you, i think if its anyone on here they would turn it in. i love finding the owner to a lost club on the course, golf is one sport where good karma never hurts. hope you find it

I found a Bushnell NEO+ GPS, playing in the Oakland City championships over the weekend, and turned it into the pro shop. The guy looked at me strangely. I just told him, it wasn't mine...a scout is "trustworthy". Hopefully, the same will happen to you.

It's a shame you lost your wedge. I work at a golf course and find that wedges are rarely turned in to the pro shop. People will turn in clothing, head covers, clubs and lesser known wedges, but usually not a Vokey.

Great point Cart T about labeling your clubs somehow. Hey Chris T I hope it works out for you. It makes me feel good to hear the great stories about people returning things that they know don't belong to them. Last year I found a brand new SM4 Vokey 56 deg on a green and of course would have loved to have it. But as everyone on here has probably felt, its a sick feeling when you think you have lost a club and takes your mood straight down. I had a feeling I should try to catch up to the group in front of me and sure enough it was theirs and the owner was thrilled about my discovery. A few weeks later I played a golf outing for my church and during the warmup on the putting green I hit some chips then put my wedge down and hit a few chips. Then they called for the players to their carts and away we went. I got to my 2nd hole of the round and noticed my 54 deg was missing and I didn't pick it up from the grass where I was chipping/putting. After next hole we made the turn so I swung by to check for my club. Nothing to be found. Asked pro shop and was unlucky there as well. I was sunk and it totally killed my mood. To think someone could steal a club in broad day light with golfers everywhere and just go about their business. I was bitter for awhile but doing the right thing is always the best option and will continue to return clubs to the pro shop and Chris T I hope you will see your new wedge soon!!!
Great News .... My wedge was turned in by a high school golfer the same day . The man working the pro shop that day put it in the demo bag ! Sooo it was AWOL for a few days !!!! Man I love my 54-14 F grind SM5 !! YES!!
Nice!! Congrats, Chris... what a relief for you, I'm sure. And good for the high school golfer that turned it in!! But man... the guy putting it in a Demo bag??? He had to know someone would be looking for it.
Good for you, Chris!!

I've left clubs on the first cut of the green before and luckily had them turned in. If I take my wedge and putter up to the green at the same time, I now lay my wedge on the green between the hole and where ever my bag is at(as long as it doesn't impede someone's shot) thankfully I haven't had this happen since I started this

I once left the sand wedge from my Titleist set on the first cut of the green. No one turned it in so I replaced it with a Vokey SM4. Loved it so much I now have 3 Vokeys on my bag (50/54/60). =)
