What Happens In Vegas...Golf Clubs Get Decapitated!?
/It's one thing to have your clubs wacked like Lee Janzen's Callaways were at McCarran Airport, but another to be the second tour player this year to have his bag essentially destroyed.
Brian Wacker with the gory details.
“I opened my airline bag and it smelled like something was burning,” Janzen said via cell phone. “When it came out on the belt I could see there was a hole in the bag and some foam sticking out. I thought, ‘Oh my gosh what happened to my bag?’”
Janzen, who flew Delta out of Orlando over the weekend to Monday qualify for this week’s Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, said he’s never seen anything like what happened in all his years of travel. He also said he thinks it occurred on the ground in Las Vegas and not in Orlando or with the Delta crew.
Janzen added that something similar happened to PGA TOUR rookie Ben Martin in Las Vegas earlier this season when all 14 of his clubs were “decapitated.”
“To do that to somebody’s baggage and to throw them on the carousel like nothing happened,” Janzen continued. “I would want my people to walk them out and start the process.”
**Greg Moore's images of the clubs are posted with the story now. Looks like they were dropped from space!
