Somebody as honest as Suzannes husband to pick up my husband's golf caddie which he lost on the golf course this morning. He immediately went back and searched with no luck. we are hoping somebody turns it in. It is registered to him so if anybody decides to keep it he can block it so it will only be of use on a couple of courses. Bless him, he loved it and is so upset at losing it.

Ann
So sorry to hear this. Do hope somebody has handed it in
Take care

Oh Ann how sad, I do hope it's handed in and it's not a case of someone walking off with it.

He knows he dropped it, knew roughly where. The two groups behind him were friends and they didn't see it, but easily missed if they are concentrating on their golf and don't happen to walk the same side of the hole as he did. Others behind them were possibly visitors. Nobody has phoned yet and he finished at 12. Don't hold out much hope. Quite a lot of money to buy a new one.

Ann....when you say 'golf caddy' you mean the thing that carries the golf clubs??

Err no Jude, it is an electronic device called a sky caddy one to two hundred pounds worth. It calculates the distance to the hole when a course is programmed in. costs £30 a year to run it and yes it is legal before anyone asks. But it expires at the end of the year and we don't think anyone except the registered person can get it up dated. I suppose it is a bit like a sat nav for golf. We will be watching ebay. Of course it may be lying somewhere in the grass if nobody has picked it up.

This may be a stupid question but if it works via GPS and is programmed to T's account can the manufacturer locate it's position?

Ohh trust me......l thought it would have been rather large to lose. Oops...lol

Greenkeeper might come across it - surrounded by a family of golfers I know what this means! Gson got one at Christmas - not cheap. Fingers crossed.

Sue, he is just trying to find that out. He thinks there is a GPS reference. It could still be on the course but with rain forecast that would seem to be a no win situation. He had two searches and couldn't find it, unfortunately on that hole he was on the edge of the rough.

Chris, thanks, he's had it 18 months so had good use out of it but still wouldn't like to think of somebody getting hold of it for nothing.

You're not wrong Jude! I thought it was the person who pushed the trolley with the clubs LOL
Another word 'nicked' by technology to confuse us - ahem- over 35s.

I've a feeling it's still lying on the grass Ann, it's amazing how far things can bounce when dropped.
I do hope it turns up soon. :-D

Ann fingers crossed that T will get it back. As you say it might still be lying out there on the grass somewhere.

Would a metal detector help?? l presume it has metal on/in it.

Say Hi to Tony from us and keep his chin up:)

It is about the size of an Iphone and quite chunky. Not sure if it has metal on it Jude.

So glad you said Jude :-S

Goes without saying Ann hope he finds it

I hope he can locate it and it can be returned to T.

Gwyn

hi ann
hope hubby gets his golf caddy back,its a horrible feeling when you lose something of value isnt it.x

Well it had not been handed in by 5pm so, unless somebody finds it in the grass it looks like it has gone. I tink he is annoyed with himself more than anything.

Ann,

Might your Household Insurance cover it?
