Golfers: Do you throw away old clubs? |
|
I ask because as I was walking to my car this morning, this guy walked up to about 30 feet from the dumpster, tossed a golf club toward it, and walked away. So after a while I went over and took a look at it. Chinese-made Golfmate Eagle alloy 1 wood. Doesn't appear to be anything wrong with it. Maybe he got a better club. :shrug:

Either trade them or sell them to someone else. As a last resort, will donate them to goodwill to resell.
Never heard of that club before. So many brands and styles out there.

4. Maybe he just used it in a crime |
|
And was getting rid of the evidence. Alloy wood huh? Is that like American cheese food, it's cheese but not really?

16. He probably put his drive in the drink a few times. |
|
And got pissed off and threw it away. I usually dispose of my cursed clubs in the nearest water hazazard or river, but evidently, this guy waits until he gets home.
