    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...

    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.

    So sorry that this happened to you. I lost a custom vokey wedge that I had built by a club - maker in texas. I am sure it was my negligence that led to me losing it, but one thing to keep in mind if you like iron covers is to have a cover in your pocket while you are playing your shot and then if you drop the wedge / you will remind yourself to get it when you have this cover in your back pocket having returned to your Cart. I don't use iron covers myself, but this process works for a friend of mine. - S. Hogan , avid golfer.

    I hope that someone who is honest will turn in your club. I think 99% of golfers are honest but there is that 1% that are not. A few years back I left a wedge on a green and discovered it missing a couple of holes later. I went back and started asking groups behind me if they had found it and one guy driving a cart said yes and his partner said no. They looked at each other in surprise and then the passenger reluctantly said is this it ? There is no doubt this guy was going to keep my club if the driver had not said yes. Yesterday someone stole a set of clubs from a player off his golf cart while he was in the club house. They got video of the thief but I don't know if they have caught him as I write this. Get some ID stickers with your name and phone number and put them on your clubs for future reference. At least when you lose a club the finding party will be able to reach you and hopefully not with a phone call at Christmas thanking you for a nice gift.

    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!!!

    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).  =)
