I think it might have been an employee because they mow the greens on Sunday morning and I was the last person there Saturday evening. I talked to the club pro about losing it and he is the one who told me about it. If an employee took it, it is definitely gone because they would have to admit stealing it because they did not turn it in when they found it. They would get fired for sure. I would not want someone to get fired for stealing my club.
It helps even more to lay them next to or across the flagstick. Makes it almost impossible to forget them.
