Golf clubs lost in the airport

Losing your golf clubs on a buddies’ trip is one thing. But losing your clubs just before you’re set to represent your country in the 2023 Solheim Cup? Well, that’s a different level of airline travel disaster.

Unfortunately, this was the whirlwind Danielle Kang found herself in last week. Her clubs vanished on a Monday while in transit to Spain, leading to dozens of pleas, temporary rental clubs from Ping, and a clone set from Titleist. Finally, after some serious drama, Kang’s clubs were miraculously located and reunited with her on Wednesday.

But let’s face it, Kang’s lost clubs are just another disheartening chapter in the ongoing epic of airlines misplacing golf bags.
